How do you determine that someone is boxing?
If I run the game in two computers, with one of them going through a proxy server, how would you determine if I am boxing?
You can speak to me on any of the accounts and I can answer.
You ask me to move in different directions at the same time, I can do it.
I have two different IPs.
If I don't keep a char in "follow" all the time, I don't think it is possible to detect someone boxing, unless you train them and watch the reaction.
Confession time: I boxed in P1999 through a proxy a few times, just to check if it was any more enjoyable to do it here than in Live, with the slower pace. I only did it for a few levels (my highest char was 9 or 10 before I gave my gear away and deleted them all) but I never had any issues.
I understand why people box (it makes life a lot easier, specially if you have really spotty play times) but it really destroys the community, why would let someone join you if your boxed duo or trio can take on anything?
Personally, I don't box anymore (I hardly ever play here anymore, although I am trying to get back into it) because it just doesn't make sense. The game is not enjoyable boxing and missing the social aspect. Yes, even soloing has a social aspect: if someone comes around, I will buff them. That won't happen if you're boxing and paying attention to two boxes.
GMs: Feel free to ban me, as I think that it would only be fair. If you PM me, I will give you my account names.
