It's not a proof, the GMs would simply demonstrate how only 1 player was able to complete the boxing test.

But if someone's legitimately AFK: not sure the GMs would wait around for the person to come back to start the test or not. Don't know, I don't box and have never been flagged as a problem with boxing - but maybe someone can chime in that has undergone one of these tests.

They don't have to camp them. They teleport them to the location for the boxing test and see if they pass. If they don't, they ban. Takes like 5 minutes.

There will always be a tension between what the staff wants to enforce, and what they can, practically, 100% of the time, enforce. There's not enough devs to enforce every rule with code, and not enough GMs to enforce them with people.

That being said, the rules are still the rules. If you can't appreciate the fact that a ton of people all volunteer their time ... not just to enforce the rules, but to make it so you can play here ... you don't deserve to play here.

(Of course, if the staff were to update the rules more than once a milenia, and worked with the player-base to help make them as clear and as easy to understand as possible ... that would be pretty neat.)

Is that allowed here, or nah?
Sometimes people purchase power leveling and just sit AFK while the Power Leveler levels them. Not every afk person is boxing.

That said, I catch people boxing so often that it feels more like a soft rule. Dual boxing near openly while playing pretend. Or the afk buffing druid that all of a sudden comes to life when something goes wrong to heal, while a character is frozen in place. There's the at least semi clever who log off immediately when you "afk" near them. But I've seen such brazen moments as triple boxing right on top of me to sell MQ items. It happens so often that only the most foolish must even get caught or suspected. But the real clever ones multibox multiple afk camps simultaneously.
