I'm not sure if you're trolling me or just don't understand what I was saying. In this situation I had an actual real life human being friend of mine that was at work and couldn't actively play but would have happily sat around semi afk and buffed me occasionally. This LOOKS like boxing to an outsiders perspective. It's not actually boxing. I'm not playing my "friends" account. He's playing his own account just not fully at the keyboard. No automation is taking place. He isn't "afk camping" anything. A program like GINA would be used (expressly permitted by Rogean himself) to alert him when I sent a tell for buffs. Which he would then manually buff me. No automation is happening and no boxing is happening. No rules are being broken. We chose not to do it because it LOOKS bad and could get you falsely banned for something you did not do. I'm not sure if I could spell this out any clearer.

The 3rd party program thing is a totally separate issue in which I was technically guilty and fully admit as much. It was simply my argument in that case that I had an inactive program in the background that wasn't even configured to work on P99 and thus was not actually cheating. I simply got marked as such by the anticheat and staff didn't care to investigate any further. Or they did and decided a 5 minute mistake in which no actual cheating took place was worthy of a permanent ban. Either way I respectfully disagree but they're fully within their rights to do what they did. Doesn't mean I'm not gonna be a little upset about it. I think anyone being honest with themselves would understand why I might feel that way if they were in my shoes.

If your friend is not on your account or the same IP address and is truely at work this is completely legal and they would not bother you. For good form if you are concerned you can request they take you off IP exempt status. You will only get busted if you truely are boxing. If your friend is afk next to you, the guides can see they are not on the same IP address. They can also tell if you actually have an IP exemption also.
