To people talking about boxing being classic: the difference is that in classic, boxing was not easily available to everyone because you'd have to actually buy more accounts to do it. On P99, if boxing was allowed, everyone could do it with no monetary investment, so it would be much more widespread. Therefore, banning it altogether would in fact produce a sever closer to the classic experience even if it wasn't banned in classic.

To people saying that account trading will still happen when it's banned: obviously it will, but it will happen less. The war on drugs analogy made earlier is pretty apt here (though, supporting the opposite point that poster meant to support): yeah, people still do illegal drugs, but they do illegal drugs a lot less than if they were legal, because they have to worry about staying out of the eyes of the law and the social stigma attached to it.
