Boxers

So having created a new character & playing through 1-20 again, it became apparent that there was a large number of people boxing accounts. I grouped many times with characters who were seemingly always afk, and only /follow the other guy when moving. I've seen instances of people creating banker toons, and only logging in the account to hand over their goods and essentially never leave the zone they are in (A very notorious guild leader doing this). & buffbots who only login long enough to buff before disconnecting.

An aggressive stance needs to be taken towards this, it is not fair to the rest of us who play legitimately. Can anything be done about this? Or is the protection about as good as it gets currently?

If you see this, /petition "someone is boxing x and y right now..." and a gm if he is on can pop over there and give him "the test". Also they will know to watch out for those names in the future.
