Contest for Reporting 2boxers?

Its not that hard to 2box eq, on live I had guildies who'd play 3-4 toons at once while farming and you dont need any 3rd party software either, alt-tab and someone with quick fingers/hands can do it easily.

The dead giveaway to me is what ikonoclastia said, the boxxed character will almost always not speak. I've also noticed 2boxers using autofollow alot, which is another dead give away to me..anytime someone uses autofollow normally they will let the person know beforehand.

In my experience on p99, I've learned to not even wasting time reporting 2boxers. The last time I did I was suspended for 3 days for "wasting time and interfering in a GM investigation." Since then I've been accused of 2boxing for powerleveling a few of my brother's toons (when we werent even playing from the same IP let alone household, lol) as well as just hanging around buffing/assisting RL friends who were in lowbie groups at the time. I've also witnessed the same people 2boxing while farming/exping/powerleveling their alts blatantly, and continue to do so. This is a free to play server, you can't expect the GM's to waste their time hunting down all of the morons 2boxing. Especially when folks who petition them are shunned/punished for doing so.

Eh I won't lie I have petitioned peeps before.. I have never been banned, punished... I reported in correct fourm, and Amelinda acually was happy that I would take the time and provide Screenshots of toons and their names... Dont know what happened to yo bud but that bummer to hear.

Keep up the good work, this game is about interaction with others, and it's clearly stated boxing = permaban.

Good job Amelinda on taking out the trash.

Yeah, just FYI if you duo ANY loot camp, even one you get xp at, this will happen. If you semi-afk PL your family/friends while making dinner, this will happen. If you inconvenience anyone in any way ( like bein in their favorite xp/farm spot) this will happen. Pretty sad, and a good reason why OP's silly idea will never happen. Couple that with all the people who will report ANYTHING that looks different from how THEY play, and you are wasting their time tbh. If you don't think giving a reward for reporting 2 boxing will cause a slue of illegitimate petition/reports, yer damn crazy man.

Like someone said several pages back, it didn't work in Stalin's Russia, and while consequences are nowhere near as serious in this case, it would'nt work here. Already on this server it's pretty common to face petition/train for simply being in a camp someone else wants, and if your duo'ing it? lol insta boxer label. OMG ALL DUO R BOXERZZ HALP GM's...

Just play the game, and if you are CERTAIN you come across a boxer, do what you gotta do.

And for those who are worried about duo'in w / wives, gf's, family whatever, you really don't have to worry too much if your legit. I am pretty sure I have been petitioned for duo'in w/ my brother and not been banned, hoping that person got a 3 day break for being a tool. (Prettysure he mad i had his favorite loot camp heh, bastard had the temerity to ask for a heads up when we were done after accusing us of boxing lol)

Not talking isn't necessarily a give away of boxing.

A lot of folks are averse to typing... i've even played with some people who flat out refuse to..

they're all like

vent or gtfo >:U

Is this why 90% of groups I have been in are unbearably quiet? Lol I hate voice chat in mmorpgs heh and so far it's usually white textwall in my groups..

Can join one of those starter guilds to make some friends.


Should help in finding groups also.

Tasselhoff: not sure who suspended you. Wasn't me though.

I'm always appreciative when people report 2-boxers.

And you have to realize. Nobody on staff below senior guide is able to view IP addresses..... But you don't need the same IP address to be boxing.

I caught a 4 boxer who was using 3 different IP addresses. He used the story initially that his girlfriend was pouring him a glass of tea and his two friends didn't know how to play. This was his explanation for moving like he had 4 members of special forces to the efreeti. This was his explanation of why his shadow knight died while standing outside of the efreeti room while he summoned bandages on his mage (newbie friend!!)

He recently petitioned asking to be unbanned for boxing and admitted to boxing the characters. He was not unbanned.

There is lots of research that goes into banning boxers.....I always watch for a bit before banning. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Some people need to put some points into IQ and common sense before they start playing.
