After wasting a good hour reading this thread, I've realized that neither side has offered ANY EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE WHAT-SO-EVER to support their side. Neither side has offered me any proof other than idle speculation as to what may or may not happen if we allow/continue to disallow two-boxing.
The anti-two boxers are offereing a lot of theories and anecdotal evidence about how bad it would be (without offering any empirical proof), and the pro-two boxers are basically saying "it would be easier for me to play the game." Neither argument is valid for changing policy, or should even be considered by any group of people that have any amount of common sense or concept of objective decision making.
The only coherent argument made so far is against allowing people to pay money to two box, since Sony probably would try to shut us down if we became a for-profit server.
Just for the record, this entire thread has made anyone who has read it dumber, and I think every single one of you is an idiot that can't quantify what they want and why. And people that can't quantify what they want, and back it up with arguments that use facts that were gathered scientifically, then this should be good enough for you:
THE PEOPLE THAT OWN THIS SERVER SAID ITS NOT OKAY, SO THAT SETTLES IT. You lost your right to question when you failed to do so effectively.
That being said, I'm glad the devs released this server, as I've been trying to find a classic EQ experience for a long time. Hats off to you guys, and the work you do, to maintain this server.
