he got fun out of it. didn't want to talk to anyone. thought of EQ as a solo game.
finally convinced him to go on a different server where boxing and soloing is the norm and he enjoys it.
he is not a bad person, just a 60+ y.o. french dude who didn't want to interact in english with many people (just found out in this thread today that apparently speaking english is mandatory to be a player on p99, i cried a little inside [You must be logged in to view images.

all this to say, i am 100% against boxing and i agree that the hard no-boxing rule is the reason why i'm still here after so many years [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
but all boxers are not abusing assholes. some of them are just foreign grumpy old men.
banning them is still fine.
but don't hate on them. they just play the wrong game.

but please ban them.

That was a really nice post Nagoya!

I wish more people could remember that X might be bad in specific ways for specific reasons, but just because that's true it doesn't mean that anyone who likes X is suffering from a moral failing. People can be different from you, and make different choices, and that's ok (as long as those choices aren't hurting anyone else).

A lot of people could stand to learn that, in a lot of cases besides just 20-year old emulated elf sim boxing.
