a few unofficial rules for ip exemption

[Crone]

Wrong thread IMO. Soooo many threads about boxing have been made on these forums. You could spend a whole day just reading through them all.

With that said, let me google that for you.

You know, this problem wouldn't exist if people weren't irrationally afraid of letting honest players multi-box.

Exactly, dishonest people will find a way around the rules anyways. It's like gun control, it only makes the honest people not have protection against the criminals.

LOL @ last 2 posts.

How is any of this common sense?

Let's see...2 toons + 1 player = boxing. Seems pretty basic to me.

Can one person legitimately 6-box any camp 24/7?

(The correct answer is 'no').

Ever heard of hyperbole or exaggeration?
(The correct answer is 'no')

In reality though I'm sure some folks in the same guild would share account information and find a way to keep the aforementioned camps locked down about 90-99% of the time.

It's always a good idea to base your argument in hyperbole.


So, even if it is the case that camps are locked down, why not make that against the rules instead of boxing?

If that's the problem you want to alleviate, why attack something else?

Some people drive drunk and hurt other people, so we should outlaw driving!

Less grouping opportunities for 1-boxers if the multi-boxers can just log in another character to tank, heal, buff, slow, wtfever. THAT is what would ruin the community.

The issue is that grouping opportunities are meaningless for level 50s right now, so it's either a) "how useful would it be to the raid to be able to multi-box a mage alt in addition to my mage main to double the number of malachites I burn through?", b) "how useful would it be to lock down a loot camp with 2 or 3 characters so I can monopolize the rare drop or at least have a better shot at winning the /random on said rare drop?", or c) "how useful would it be to just have my main here to PL my alt instead of actually grouping up with other people?"

Having said that, there's tons of threads arguing for/against multi-boxing... this one is more about "Why is it not obvious that if there is a rule against multi-boxing, then you should do your best to make sure that you don't do anything that could be perceived as multi-boxing, because you will not be able to prove you weren't if someone confronts you about it."

Is it the case that boxing is the only means by which people could lock down camps?

Are camps available to everyone currently because we don't allow boxing?
