What IS common is account sharing and it's a problem of it's own. Guilds gearing shared characters allowing dumb shit like mage pet spam and trivializing raid content. Or allowing multiple players to camp manastone for days on a single character.

The number of "brothers" and "wives" I've seen logging in to port, rezz and/or roll extra on pickup raids is ridiculous.

The thing is I would rather teach my wife or brother or sister how to play and port/buff me in video game over risking loosing all my stuff and characters... I'm sure many others feel this way too

I once had a guy in my party log onto his "brother's" account just to SoW me for running across Dagnor's Couldron back to unrest after a wipe. Didn't bother to log out of the account he was on. I could've just ran that without it. These people don't give af and it's sad.

Top players all cheat and do this shit obviously. Stay under level 20 and keep your nose clean

Are druids and necromancers REAL? Some would say they are just choices or lifestyles, I don't know if I've met any real ones.

Sometimes,I visit my dad and we like to play together like the old days. We do this maybe one week out of the year, and we have been given a boxing test once. We passed obviously but this would lead me to believe it's not just loosly enforced.

It is enforced but how can you enforce someones "brother" parking a toon in ec and then popping in to buff/port/bank whatever thr fuck for 5 minutes with no witnesses and then going back to ec . Or sitting in a different zone and hopping around helping out other people they are boxing just its not obvious and completely unenforceable. It's always going to be a problem that can't be fixed

Even if they're was no ip exemptions people will use vpn its totally unenforceable

I don't really mind at this point the game is 22 years old. A lot of these guys will offer free buffs to others, so it's not exactly antisocial. Take it as a sign of the games age.

I wonder what pantheon will be like.

I want to make an elf simulator, not sure how I would stop boxing. But I would create a player run elf court so they could deal with it communally when it gets out of hand.

To a certain extent yes but there are also ways that situations like that can be flagged. If the accounts have ever been logged in on the same IPs and computer (not at the same time obviously) you can probably assume those chars are being boxed at some point. Of course that probably take a lot of time and resources to sift through and these people are volunteers.
