If anything all you've achieved in this thread is gained their attention.

No need to box though bud, just do what every other shammy/SK does on the server - get a fungi and refuse to group all the way to 60 =]

They can watch me all they want lol.

Was asking the question because my brother can play my paladin once he is 40+ and I can play my shaman and kill CoM...coz realisiticlly its better if he doesn't get involved apart from healing/buffing me.

So if he was to be afk 85% of the time it could look like boxing.

I was duoing with someone that I had just met about 30 minutes ago. We were asked to perform some different movement tasks simultaneously to determine if we were boxing. I suppose we were competing for some spawns and could have been reported, but it just seemed pretty random. Neither of us were AFK for any period really either.

If the AFK person is playing a Wizard it will be fine. They are ALWAYS AFK lol. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Never move.

Any thread or post titled "Is it considered boxing:", the answer is yes. Always yes.

Not to open a can of worms; but my only thing against this would be if a GM thought you were boxing and asked you to do the "boxing tests" and you'd have to explain to them that the person in your group afking is actually afk and thus not worth the risk?

Where is the line drawn?

pretty sure you've described exactly how chardok aoe proxy works.

and we could only wish it were against the rules.

If you look like you are boxing. Someone will report you. You will be watched. And then you will be tested. If you are not found worthy, you will be banned.

If is easy to tell if both tunes always log on and log off at the same time. There is enough of a paper trail to usually uphold any bs trying to overturn the ban.

Petition boxers, not briefs.

Video evidence helps ^^

I am pro-boxing. I would never report someone. I saw the same thing on eqlive. There majority were either for or against boxing. There were few in the middle that did not care.

We boxed on raids. The standards were high. If you could not multitask on raids, u could not box. Playing 2 or more chars on same computer is NOT BOXING imho. I call it alt-tabbing. Its lame. Ineffective. And I agree, it should never be allowed.

Alt-tabbers cannot pass tests for boxers.
