The "it fosters community" argument is complete bullshit. There is absolutely no evidence that the community is stronger without boxing. There is the same level of bullshit and elitism and anti-social behavior here as there is on any other server.

You've clearly never played on a server that allowed boxing. Go check out ANY of the other Emu servers and you'll realize that if I can (and I have) 6-box on PEQ, why the hell do I need to interact with anyone else? I have my own optimally configured party, and so does everyone else. Or at least they have the option to, no one is out there LFG.

How many people solo?
How many husband/wife/brother/sister/drunken clown/terrified child combos of people play together and don't engage the community?
How many guilds lock others out of content?
How many people refuse to group with sub-optimal players?

How much of that is due to boxing?

Why is it okay for two or fifty-four people to be insular, but if a single person does it on his or her own it's a grievous injustice that must be stamped out?

If it's even a little bit of a problem now, imagine how much worse it'll be when
1) those solos are now trios or quads
2) half a dozen poopsockers can now mobilize an ENTIRE Vox raid by logging in the whole force on 6 computers. 1/6 the moving parts (people) to coordinate means much faster engagement.

I cannot fathom how people don't see that boxing is bad in every respect every time.
