Helping population - a moderate approach to permabans

[Lazortag]

For the record I tend to agree a bit more with Cast on the boxing issue, with the caveat that I think boxing equally bad for the blue server. One big difference between blue and red is the outrageous variance on raid mobs on blue, which probably leads some people to 2-box trackers with their mains. This just isn't a problem on red (however, people on pvp servers obviously get other advantages from 2-boxing).

I think the punishment is fitting because it's difficult to enforce, so you need an even greater deterrent for it. It also gives you a massive unfair advantage and you really can't claim you didn't know it was against the rules when they always tell you it is after you request an IP exemption (and if you're using a proxy, obviously you know you're circumventing the rules). There are some ways we can help the population, but extra leniency isn't one of them.

Probably, but keep in mind some people have multiple accounts. I have five accounts IP exempted between me and my fiancee, because she has one account and I have access to (at least) four others.

Wait, the guy who created this post has been banned for boxing? Priceless.
