In my opinion, the thing that made EQ so amazing back in it's day was that people needed each other, your reputation was important, because alone you couldn't accomplish much. If 2 boxing, or more boxing is allowed, people won't group, they won't need others for ports, or rezzes or anything else, and then there goes the community and along come the tards who don't need to worry about their reputation because they have a group all of their own.
I personally love that there is no 2 boxing allowed (other than the fact my boyfriend and I are having to take turns because we are still waiting on an IP exemption). Back in classis eq it was hardly ever done. Sure people logged a toon on to port a mate, or themselves, but generally it wasn't the done thing.
EQ, unlike other games takes concentration, and I for one do not want to be playing with people who have half their attention in either place. It makes for 2 mediocre characters unless you use macros, and if that's what you want to do why play at all.
