Boxing is cheating and should continue to be disallowed. One of the best things about the Classic EQ experience is the need for groups to get anything done (for most classes). It's really great to get into a pick-up group where everyone is courteous and knows how to play their class. The need for social interaction to succeed puts old EQ above other current MMO's in my mind.
Personally, I'd hate to group with people who are boxing because I don't believe they can really be paying enough attention to each character to play well, and that disgusts me.
But it's still important to allow IP exemptions in special cases so that family can play together. I'm still waiting for mine, but I'm leveling a necro in the meantime.
