do you think there are many people on live who would have box'd consistently had they not had to pay for a second account?

I didn't like boxing from the moment it took root (seemed in my mind to start during Kunark on live). Mercs on live was the cure, though I'm sure people continue to box with mercs added as well over there.
I guess I'm a purist at heart, the game was created so that you could meet new people, level together, raid together.... not section yourself off from the community because you don't like the LFG time or because boxing is easier.
Different strokes for different folks, but for me one of the best draws of P99 is not having to put up with that shit going on here. Like some mentioned above, I'll continue to report suspected boxers if I'm 99% sure that I'm right (you can never be 100% sure unless someone tells you, right?).
As for sarcasm on my last post, it wasn't meant to be there. The forums really do serve to blow an issue out of proportion, and as the pages stack up on a thread like this its just made more of an issue. I've probably reported 4 sets of boxers since I started playing... its not going on around every corner that I've noticed but it makes me rage that bit harder when it goes on in places like Unrest or Mistmoore where spawns are at a premium during peak hours.
Sure, I'll never be able to tell if someone is logging on their "brother"'s account to check auctions in EC and do some trading on the side, but chances are the more he does that the more likely he is to get caught anyway...*applause* for Amelinda for staying vigilant on the issue.
