We cool man, you said you don't know. I respect that and will leave it at that. :)

The "it fosters community" argument is complete bullshit. There is absolutely no evidence that the community is stronger without boxing. There is the same level of bullshit and elitism and anti-social behavior here as there is on any other server.

How many people solo?
How many husband/wife/brother/sister/drunken clown/terrified child combos of people play together and don't engage the community?
How many guilds lock others out of content?
How many people refuse to group with sub-optimal players?

How much of that is due to boxing?

Why is it okay for two or fifty-four people to be insular, but if a single person does it on his or her own it's a grievous injustice that must be stamped out?

How is any of this common sense? May be common sense of the offender. I feel like only those who do offend would go to such lengths to prevent them from seeming to be boxing. I feel like normal people would just play without thinking about it because they know they're doing nothing wrong since they're obeying the rule they were told.

You ignored the other argument. Do you want to see Efreeti and FG's perma-camped by someone boxing 6 toons 24/7?

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!
