Boxers

[filthyphil]

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?

[Pudge]

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.

Probably talking about Ihavephd in NFP. Gream always logs him in then goes to bed without logging off lol

[Salem Orchid]

[Telron]

Lol strange I'm lvling on kunark and have get to see one obvious box. I have my opinions on one duo but with no proof the names will not drop. Is it different on the mainland??

[Twain]

Yea I played a bard on Live during Underfoot and House of Thule. Shit was tite. Fading Memories was great and I could easily pull raid targets. Live bard was the reason I made a bard here. Shit is fun and I hope one day, Twainz will have Fading Memories.

Fading Memories best AA ever. Not even close.

i petitioned citizenn for boxing his stupid alts in CB , no one responded , he even admitted it via tell twice

i dont think anyone cares , but i would love to box myself , why not just enable it?

Well I sorta feel the same way... which is why I don't petition people.. If I could box I'm sure I would do it to level an alt. But I don't want to lie or be sneaky about it so I just don't do it.

boxing is very easy to tell if both players are actively online PLing or doing stuff ingame, even easier to spot if they are trying to move around since its mostly auto follow or running wrong directions then corrected 1 by 1. however GMs can spot this easy enough, theres a good chance some of it you are mistaking for ppl who are mostly just afk watching tv and only casting ds/buffs whatever while on auto follow when friend needs it. My friend did this for me for a few levels just sat on hill and ide run up grab a ds/levi, most people would immediately think boxing if it weren't for the fact he was talking and DSing other people at the camp site helping out.

When it comes to raids, a surprising amount of lazy people will auto follow someone while running through a zone or what not. whether its cuz they are truly lazy and are pixel whores only or they are prepping food/drink/shitting prior to getting started. i think gm's are doing a fine job keeping dual boxing in check, some people are a bit slicker then others but they will get nabbed eventually. anyway to me, its not worth dual boxing cuz i dont want to even risk losing my account/items due to the time invested. other people however, they have more gear, accounts whatever they can easily replace shit since they have tons of plat and an abundance of chars. one thing you wont see nearly at all is a real classic char (firepots, guise etc) being dual boxed cuz no one wants that shit getting banned.
