People Boxing Think They Are So Clever

If that's a test for boxers, 80% of the mages on blue I ever grouped with are boxers.

It's actually confirmed that every mage on the server is being controlled by the same person.

I've grouped with tons of mages and they cast spells. Maybe you only play with lazy ones that send in a pet can call it a day.

Also most people react when a high lvl mob is hitting them by either moving or trying to snare and move. This particular mage would not react in any way even if he was killed due to HK been train central.

The not moving even when about to die is obviously weird, but I don't think not moving while being hit is necessarily odd.

When I play a caster, I try not to move for at least a little bit while the tank tries to regain aggro (unless I can root). When I play a tank, I appreciate casters who do that if they can't root. Nothing worse than a caster running around just because it's getting whacked a bit while you try and follow them to regain aggro.

Mage have snares?

Was that the only line you read? Because literally, in the same sentence, he says most react by "moving, or trying to snare and move"....

As in, the ones without snare just try to move, however, the ones with snare (I assume he means root) will try to root and then move. Reading comprehension ftw.

Seen the exact same thing on Green. Noticed a strange duo in Highkeep one would pull and the 2nd mage toon would send in pet to attack but never stand up or cast spells.

The puller must be max lvl because he would tank the Guards and the AFK sitting toon sending in the pet was only lvl 23.

I think in 4 days the 2nd toon is now up to lvl 36 so I thought it be funny to PM him (the puller) and said hey your boxing is way to obvious you should try to change it up so people don't report you.

He blew up on me saying it's his friends character and that his just helping him so they can group together.

Grant it his "friend" will sit for hours in the same exact spot and only use his pet to kill the guards while they beat on the high lvl guy.

This doesn't necessarily scream boxing to me. Mage pets are decent so this could be an effective duo strategy IMO. Or, if the puller was much higher level, he could just be keeping aggro on him while the mage pet kills the mob so the Mage gets XP...kind of like a PL (and though the pet would eat XP, it's still theoretically faster XP if the Mage doesn't have to med ever).

Would be funny if a GM showed up in an incident like this while spamming red and blue particle effect items.

IP exemptions are abused so frequently that they should be eliminated admittedly at the expense of the tiny tiny minority who actually do use them correctly

I do not subscribe to this mass punishment mentality. Police your own, report when you see it.
