If they banned the 3rd party software using boxers, EQ would not be the crap game it has become. And they would end up with more subscriptions overall.
The more boxers, the more server mergers. The more boxers. EQ is on a downward spiral. Unless they quit catering to the minority, it will never improve. Ban ban ban. And most 6 boxers are likely to be farmers. It will just make them get new accounts
The only losers will be the RMT'rs. The prices will go up.

You know this is how casual players (I was one) felt about raiders back in the day. SOE pretty much focussed on catering to the powergamers (i.e. the raid crowd at the time) from Velious on regardless any naysayers. IIRC, the population peaked during PoP, when even the group content was explicitly geared at the powergamers (raiders), so they did have some success with their strat. Todays powergamer is the mass boxer, so Daybreak is basicly playing the same strat SOE did back in the day starting with Velious.
Interestingly, a casual-oriented game (hello WoW) knocked the socks off every other NA/Euro MMO before or since. I still wonder if WoW was actually fun to play before it became an instance vending system.
