2-boxing penalty

I thought this post was hilarious. Although I do want to clear up the last paragraph. You idiots (and i use that word as lovingly as possible) seem to think that because i posted this poll that i'm going all strawberries, rainbows and sunshine on people caught 2-boxing. I hate to break it to you. I'm a hard-ass. I don't really believe in leniency at all. I do have a good heart but the chance of be NOT banning someone or just giving a suspension for boxing is very very miniscule. EXTREMELY miniscule. almost non-existant. I think out of the over 100 people i've banned for boxing I have lifted the bans or shown leniency on MAYBE 10 accounts. and that's a liberal estimate.

I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt but we all make choices in life and need to face consequences for our choices. I feel that makes us better people in general. You may feel that is unfair. I feel it is upholding the law. And no - everything is NOT seen in black and white by me but I do expect you all to play by the rules.

Yet, holocaust was caught blatantly exploiting raid content in your guys' faces and they got a "bad boy!" and a swat on the nose with newspaper.

people arent evil for 2 boxing. i mean, really, you guys take this stuff too seriously.

relax. its just a game. if people are being malicious, perma ban seems reasonable. if someone is just being an idiot and thinks they can get away with 2 boxing, they are just a little impatient/selfish.

one chance for polite people won't cause a negative impact on the server. if people are trying to use it to get around the perma ban, the GMs arent stupid. they will realize when every boxer says they didnt realize it would result in a ban.

Cheaters aren't all evil but I don't want to play with them. Maybe the Cheaters should get together and build their own EQ server then they can all break the rules together [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think the reason players take cheating seriously is because the game is competitive and requires a HUGE amount of time investment and endurance. 2 Boxing directly impacts others because it allows people to level without the similar time investment, the EQ level grind is a big part of the game and most people can't handle the work it takes so they never get to high level.

There is no polite way to Cheat, 2 Boxing doesn't happen by mistake. You decided that the rules don't apply to you and hoped that you could fly under the radar.

2 Boxing impacts everyone:

• It screws with the economy since it quickly creates more high level farmers.
  
• It screws with PvP since it creates more high level characters to quickly fill guild ranks.
  
• It screws with the game, since it allows solo players to more quickly level without the need for other players.

And finally it encourages more cheating since with a single GM it is unlikely that she could catch everyone and a slap on the wrist punishment is worth it for the possible HUGE gain in levels.

I can't be the only other player that has seen a PvP game go down the drain due to casual cheating, duping,etc. With the lame justifications that "its not really cheating everybody does it" , "Dude you have to cheat to keep up with all the cheaters" , " who cares it's not like I am hurting anybody else" ...

Be happy with the XP gains on RED and let the Cheaters be Banned.

imo, banning trainers is more important than boxers.

I agree. Nihilum trains non-stop and then whines when someone brings a couple mobs accidentally. Ban Nizzarr, Beovvulf (or was he banned for MQ already?), and Natural. All of them train on a regular basis since they are bad at player versus player Everquest.
