In a nutshell yes.

Two-boxing promotes going online to play a game by yourself, and while some will state that boxing wouldn't make them less likely to group... I'd argue that it would make all boxers less likely to group some of the time, because if they've got their own setup then they don't technically need anyone else...and LFG time is hassle, right guys?

There's other issues with it as well. With account sales going on, we'd see an explosion in people levelling a 2nd account on their IP exemption to sell on, and then apply for a new IP exemption. I've linked before on the forums a "WTS" in EC advertising an account for sale with an IP exemption on it - then got called a scumbag for caring about such things (haters gonna hate, expose these people).

Big changes like these would have an effect on the economy, no doubt about it...and with the current economy being unstable as it is, I would keep well away from making changes like allowing boxing.

...and yes, if I'm grouped with some suspicious boxers, their ass is getting petitioned. Could link a few comments and pictures here but I've done it a bunch of times before.
