2-boxing penalty
 
The penalty for 2-boxing is a ban. it is an INSTA-PERMA ban. Both accounts. No exceptions.

(you MAY message us politely in 4-6 months and request us to reconsider and if you acted quite politely and gracefully when we banned you then we are usually nice enough to let you have one account back -without IP exemption )

Several of you have been popped for 2-boxing on blue or red. How would you feel if I gave someone a second chance for one of the following reasons:

"I knew it was against the rules but didn't realize you would PERMA BAN the accounts. I figured you'd just suspend me."

"I knew it was against the rules but i feel the punishment is too harsh."

*PLEASE NOTE* this is merely a poll to find out the community's opinion on the matter.

BAN the fuck out of them. Ban should be like joining the NWO, 4 LIFE.

Why is exploiting raid content 2 week suspension but something as trivial as 2boxing(while bad for server health also) a permaban?\

I am genuinely curious, Amelinda.

Both are blatantly ignoring posted well-known rules by choice, not accident. Both should be equal in punishment.

yay

all depends on the context to me personally. was it someone doing a quick transfer or is it actual use of both chars to exp/pvp etc.

holocaust ban was a 2-week suspension only because they had stolen their strat from another guild that had been doing the same thing for weeks and weeks with no repercussions because of our fault. the fault of the server staff. so we didn't permanently penalize those players.

I meant in general. This goes way beyond the newest crop of lowlifes on either server.

Don't get me wrong. I am against 2boxing as vehemently as the next, but I don't understand why a more severe infraction is treated so lightly consistently. This may be a question more suited for Rogean and Nilbog, but I don't idle IRC like I used to, to ask them these questions. (too much inane jibberish and racist spam)

I meant to vote seems reasonable but I wish there was a third option like situation dependent. Permabans are extreme and I'd like to know more context in each case.

If you did not perma-ban two boxers, before you know it everyone would be doing it.

Everyone knows its against the rules , PERMA ban them. Its no question.

I agree.
