Boxing isn't even open for discussion as far as I'm concerned. Rogean feels the same way.

I did want to respond to the following:

Considering like 1% of the total population from 1999-2001 multi-boxed, I believe 'it' certainly is something you can use against boxing. Yeah I'm ballparking those statistics, and if you research it, you'll come to a similar conclusion. In 1999, 0.1%, in 2000, 0.5%, and in 2001, about 1%. By 2002, broadband began fueling the majority of the internet in the US, and things drastically changed... including the bad parts of eq I personally do not want to replicate.

EQwindows was not even working until late 2000. Meaning in addition to the monthly subscription fee, you also needed a dedicated box for each instance the client because you couldn't do it on the same machine.
