Some of you are missing the point. I'm not saying don't get your "friend's" account banned. I'm saying don't get your
friend's account banned.
For instance: Let's say Kalmy has 2 characters on separate accounts. Druid + Monk. his monk is his "roommate's" character and he's boxing those accounts. if i ban both accounts i'm probably not going to lose sleep over it.
However...If kalmy borrows Tixel's druid to help himself level then I am going to feel pretty bad about banning Tixel. Will i do it? yes. Will it suck immensely for Tixel? yes. Will i give in and unban her? No. I have no way to prove it was kalmy being selfish and not Tixel being selfish.
Don't box in the first place and then you don't risk losing your friends character along with yours....just sayin...
(Sorry to pick on you Kalmy)
As far as boxing in general goes...it is against the rules and we do
actively hunt for boxers. If you know of anyone boxing or see it, feel free to /tell amelinda or submit it via petition. Even if they are in separate zones we CAN and WILL catch them.
PS you are not as slick as you think...

In this case, only people who ALREADY have exemptions can ostensibly use their friends account to 2-box.

This is untrue. People use proxies, neighbor's wireless, cell phone tethers, air cards etc. People get freakin creative with boxing. Some people with legit ip exemptions use that to abuse the system once in a while and others request for a "wife" and 'brother' and "roommate" and "dog".

Why would they do that? I mean it doesn't take long to level a druid or wizard up to porting level, and the added layer of people is nothing but a risk. It doesn't make any sense.

laziness? but mostly it's because
THEY THINK THEY WILL NOT GET CAUGHT.

I don't quite understand why multi-boxing is such a big deal.

If we allowed multi-boxing, everybody would just use macroquest and group with themselves. It would totally destroy a sense of community and having to rely on others to do things.

It seems to me that if you wanted to discourage multi-boxing .. or better yet promote grouping and community, then all you would have to do is give a bonus for groups that include players from different IP addresses, and cancel group bonuses (or even penalize) from groups that have multiple players from the same IP.

So i get six characters going, fire up MQ and connect through 6 proxies. problem solved, i get to 6-box AND I get an xp bonus....:/
until a GM or guide catches me....then I get 6 accounts banned...fun deal.
