"boxing test" should not be used by GMs

I think everyone is dodging the real question, how come they couldn't do a simple figure 8 with just their keyboard?

very curious, because its quite simple

This is shown in the video -- with normal movement key bindings it is possible; however, for setups that opt to use strafe keys (used primarily for kiters for quicker run speed), it's impossible without a traditional mouse to turn while moving. This is where the "boxing test" fails and results in false positives with people that legitimately cannot complete it.

You can easily rebind movement keys.

Shift D = turn right. Not hard. Get a lyfe.

Run an 8 while just maintaining the same facing using strafe?

The question is if it’s a “setup” that you have that cause the issue, then why not message the GM at the time and say “hey can you give me 5 minutes before we start the test? I have a setup on my laptop with these strafe keys that makes it hard to do the figure 8 without a mouse. Let me just change those key binds quickly so I can do the test effectively and we’ll be good to go”
