Reporting multibox behavior

[yaeger]

Back on topic though.

I hope everyone reports a boxer if they see one. The lower population of the server makes everyone that can join a group that much more essential. Not to mention it has been stated multiple times, and even warned against if you get an IP exemption.

People who box know the penalty and are informed adults, don't defend them. Besides, I don't really want to play with people that cheat to get the advantage.

I guess im out of touch because
A: im already 50
B: i play a class that can easily solo 1 - 50 and 50 - 60 when kunark drops.

but I think the gms should be the ones enforcing the boxing rules, and not rely on the playerbase to police things for them. I didn't make the rule and I don't care about people boxing. there are 785ppl online right now, as long as none of them are boxing, its official; 1/785th of the server will not report people boxing.

Should I petition multibox behavior, post it here, or what?

I know the server admins have said that they don't want people to multibox.

I notices a six man group in EC and Befallen who were very obviously multiboxed. No response to tells, one person responded and one person moving activly at a time.

When they left ORC2 camp it was one by one, they progressed to the ZL one by one, and after going to WC they looked like they followed to Befallen where they did the same thing.

I am just looking for an answer along the lines of what the policy is.

you should /petition this ingame

I'd be rather suspicious of anyone who petitioned for an IP exemption for a family of 6...

Although, I'm prone to go ahead and assume everyone who requests an IP exemption is going to box. The likelihood that two people in the same dwelling are going to play an emulated version of an 11 year old game is very poor, imho. Can't count the number of posts in "EC" that have read "send a tell to charactera or characterb....and they're both logged on ingame....."

In my guild, it's a pretty regular thing to ask in /gu if someone is in EC and can put out a WTB/WTS for them while they are doing something else. Some of us hate sitting in EC for hours on end, and we don't mind helping each other out to avoid having half the guild sitting idle.

Also, my wife and I both play from the same IP so I guess we are anecdotal anomalies.

Not trying to pick a fight, just saying that not everything that happens is a conspiracy or a cheat.

I was watching a group that took up a camp with what looked like a boxed players. They didnt have room for two more. Me and my friend both thought they were non-English speakers. When they took off we chatted a second about it. The only reason it is even an issue is because one person took up a camp they could not solo.

I asked here because it appeared important to the admins. I think part of being a good resident is reporting issues like this to the admins. When I see a bum in my neighborhood looking in peoples windows I call the cops, I don't think for a second that I should ignore it and let the cops catch the guy looking into windows on their own.

Good analogy.

Everybody report what they see, and eventually it won't even be worth trying to box.

My post was really more of a direct response to the one I quoted, sorry for the confusion.

As others have said, I agree we should all report odd behavior.

I just jumped in because some pretty wild generalizations were getting tossed around.

Its cool, I didn't take it as an issue.

All the boxing threads are fun to read.

IMO the people that think majority of the IP exemptions are for boxing are most likely wearing a tinfoil hat to protect their brain from aliens.

There are ALOT of IP exemptions out there. I rarely come across any suspicious boxing activites and with the small number of people online and the number of IP exemptions you would expect to see that sort of activity frequently. Most of my friends in game, as well as myself, agree that there isn't alot of obvious boxing going on.

Maybe some people are UBER LEET at boxing and can move and type at the same time but I doubt 99.999999% of people that are going to box are that good at it.

I seem to remember in classic, before boxing was allowed or even known about, that you couldn't go more than 5 minutes without talking to, or bumping in to someone, that played with their wife/brother. I dont see why that is any different here.

Just my two pennies.

To the OP:
Keep reporting it. Boxing will ruin the game and the GMs will do what they can about it when provided adequate proof.
