I was helped out by many boxers over the course of eqLive, even had one drag both his toons away from doing productive work just to babysit me in Najena; I mean literally sit there outside her door waiting to see if my first solo attempt on her would fail miserably. Most of my boxer experiences were tag teaming remote locales and using the pocket druid healer to negate downtime post combat. though the occasional extreme overpower burn shield was used. I never viewed those who used it as unfair advantage, was only ever jealous I didn't have the ability to instantly travel to other continents and be blessed with never ending speed boosts and 0 downtime. Never ran across any boxers camping my rare spawn quest npcs or anything. And I think mostly my acceptance of boxers lies in the fact they already got a toon to 50+, they already spent their time in the trenches, why not let them try out some new classes without returning to the pain of day one issues. Classic EQs biggest issue imo, were guilds gearing and power-leveling complete newbs polluting higher level pug groups and raids with kids that don't even know how to play their role.
