Part of the reason to play the game for me is interacting with like-minded players. I feel boxing can further remove players from the general population. I want to play with someone and enjoy their company. In my experience, if I am playing with someone who is boxing, a lot of times they are busy switching between monitors and doing a bunch of things at one time it doesn't leave a lot of time to "hang out" so to speak.
Also, I think boxing would take away some of the things that make EverQuest fun, to me. I mean here things like maybe you would box to buff and PL yourself, box to port yourself, and box to transfer gear/plat. I am not really pro PL, but I enjoy leveling a character on my own or with a group of players. Though travel can take a long ass time if you don't have somebody around who can port you, I think the wait of needing to spend so long traveling is rewarding in a way.
