The problem is that it's all about perception. I understand that the GM's have their hands full but there has to be some guidelines or a warning. However, this is part of being responsible as well. Technically they don't have to do anything. However, I feel that ti would be a curious thing to do. They need to define what they consider to be dual boxing. Let's say you are grouping with the wife and a family emergency comes up and one of you has to deal with you child. One goes AFK for 30 mins or whatever. Are you telling me that you would get fucking banned for that. This would not be common but possible. It would be very helpful if the GM's could spend a few minutes and make a sticky section on this and don't just strike the ban hammer with out looking into it. Hey, other then that I am just great full to have this server to play on. However, I am sick of rehashing this same topic over and over again. It seems to be one of those topics that won't die on these forums until something is done about it.

Another easy way to fix it would be to just offer IP exceptions to people who make donations, why not? Problem solved.

How is yor scenario confusing in the least bit? Does the wife not know there's a camp/quit button?

It is only confusing to a retard who don't have a family. I was just stating this as an example. I said emergency. In an emergency you don't have that kind of time.

So you sit so far away from your wifes computer that you can not stop playing for 5 seconds and type /camp or /exit on her computer when an "emergency" comes up that only your wife has to attend?

Technically this is against the rules per "one client per person".

The rules need to be more specific to reflect these things.

No, people need to learn to apply common sense.

How is any of this common sense? May be common sense of the offender. I feel like only those who do offend would go to such lengths to prevent them from seeming to be boxing. I feel like normal people would just play without thinking about it because they know they're doing nothing wrong since they're obeying the rule they were told.

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.

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?

You ignored the other argument. Do you want to see Efreeti and FG's perma-camped by someone boxing 6 toons 24/7?
