OP is clearly in the wrong for breaking rules, but I honestly think allowing people to have a 2box trader in game would not only cause zero detriment to the classic experience, but actually improve the EC experience. Maybe something like limiting it to L1 characters and only in EC, Freeport, Nek, and Neriak. It would get way more people involved in EC trading, increase the availability of gear, and just improve the community overall imo. I'm not going to devote hours to trying to sell a bunch of sub 1k items, but I would if I could do it during downtime in groups or while LFG. I think we'd see a much more healthy and robust economy if players who normally log on to actually play the game could also get involved in the tunnel as opposed to letting tunnel rats control the EC economy.
As I understand it, the no 2boxing rule was originally intended to develop the community, and in that respect I think it is a great rule and has made the server better. However, to most people sitting the the tunnel trading is not really playing, and 2 boxing a trader would for the most part benefit the community, so it seems like an obvious place to make an exception. More people trading, more items available, more accurate prices, it just seems like a net positive with very little (if any) downside.
