Oh that's why you started a thread about it? Because its something you really don't want to do? Yeah ok. You, me , and everyone else would box if the option were made available. In every mmo I have played where it is allowed I have initially resisted the option to box. But after a while with groups being hard to get due to the prevalence of boxers, I have given in and found myself boxing toons from that point on.
The window for "man I just can't find any groups" reduces enormously for some people when the option to box is present, and completely erases the need or desire to even look for a group for most of the population. If you think that it wouldn't hurt the community, just look at how many people get banned for breaking this rule at present. And on top of that the amount of people that circumvent the rule by obtaining an IP exemption for their "wives", or "sons", or "roommates".
Everyone would do it. If not initially, then eventually. It ruins mmo's. Its against the server rules. And it adds nothing to the EQ experience that cannot already be had by relying on the community. Those seem like pretty good reasons not to allow it to me.

tfw find myself agreeing with glenzig 100%. this is some russia & US vs germany shit.
