The reason why two-boxing never affected anyone back in the day is because not everyone could do it, since they'd have to pay twice the subscription fees. This isn't true on p99.
What I've seen on other servers is that two-boxing essentially forces everyone else to do it too to maintain the same advantage or to be able to get anything done (as groups are consistently filled by multi-boxers). I think that's an unreasonable entry cost for people like me who just generally dislike engaging in two-boxing for ourselves.
Lastly, has anyone considered what multiboxing would do to raiding?? Holy shit would that be ridiculous. There'd be no entry cost at all for being a small guild since you could just multibox a raid force without actually having the members to support it. Also, at later hours where european guilds have the most chance to get any access to content, other guilds could cockblock them by just having a few members on who can multibox. One of the ways one guild gets a competitive advantage over others is with numbers - ie, by having more numbers and by hoping the other guild has less so that they can't clear efficiently or camp bosses legally (since you need 15). This is eliminated if people can just two-box.
