The most amusing part of these rage threads is how they always try to preface it with some pretense that they're doing really doing it to champion some righteous fight against injustice. Because, y'know, they'd never do it just to bawwwww.

The biggest tragedy is that this detail was left out:

I don't feel I'm raging. Sure it's a messed up situation but I'm trying my best to present myself as clearly as possible. You are the one who seems to be raging with immediate character attacks/mockery.

Beside the point, your reply make me wonder if you lack trust or meaningful relationships in your life. Why do you assume I'm:

...they always try to preface it with some pretense that they're doing really doing it to champion some righteous fight against injustice.

Did you ever stop to think that may be I'm doing it because I realize after this experience that GMs here act like nazis with their decisions? May be if you knew our situation you'd know why I am intent on making sure people are aware of what goes on here. All I should say is, coming from knowing how much husband/wives, best friends, roommates, and so forth enjoy playing this game together, I think it's important for them to know so they don't accidentally arrive in similar situations and unknowingly face a ban.

My bro was unsure if he wanted to play in the first place, but after this event he laughed and asked me "Why would you want to be play on a server with GMs like that?". With all things considered, I can't help but agree.

So before you arrive at all sorts of assumption, perhaps you should take a breather and realize that not everybody here is out to lie, cheat, and steal, and genuinely just want to follow the rules and have a good time.

I should think the common sense that comes from:

"Multi-boxing is bannable here, therefore we should not appear to do anything that could be misconstrued as multi-boxing."

should be sufficient.

So you are suggesting we should belive everyone that says "my brother / mother / grandma / dog just went AFK, he brb!!"? Does that mean we should also belive those people that accuse others of two boxing? Why belive one if not the other? Quick! Let me ban half the server, since it has been accused by the other half to box!

Alot of the staff members put in the same amount or even more of their free time into developing or guiding on here, solving petitions, playing babysitter etc. then the hardcore raiders spend on raiding. We have our experiences, and we act accordingly. Give me ONE reason why i should belive you, that you did not actualy two box, but have a brother that just wants to leech exp of you? Do i know you? Are we friends since 20 years? Can i read your mind?

You know Cyrius, you're right. When it all comes down to it, anybody can figure out a way to rig anything. You have no reason to trust me. There is no real objective way to prove anything. People should know this is what they face when they get an exemption though, aside from just being told "One person per client". That rule doesn't mean much. As in the situation described by the husband/wife and the child emergency. Why should people have to consider how they "appear to be". For crying out loud, they're told the rule and they think they follow it, but alas, they "appear" otherwise, so they may face problems. I know how much these people enjoy playing together so I think they should be told/made aware that they can never "appear" to be boxing - ie there are very specific restrictions on your playing experience. My situation, for example, is one of them.

This isn't some benevolent crusade out of my own self interest. As I have stated, my brother said he doesn't want to play anymore after what happened anyways, even though we could rig up an alternative method to be able to play together anyways. Can't help but agree with him about not playing at this point too.
