Is screen sharing boxing?

[Wabic]

If playing a character consists of the input and output for that character, then using a screen sharing program to see other characters' output is "playing" the output component of that character. Should this be considered boxing when a person is able to see the output from multiple character accounts?

I'm not trying to accuse anyone and I don't judge anyone who does it currently since it's within the rules.

like teamviewer? It's like borderline boxing and probably bannable tbh.

it's boxing when you're playing two characters on the same server. No matter the method.
You can play 1 char on blue and 1 char on red. But not 2 on blue or 2 on red.
1 person per 1 character logged into a p99 server.

The question i think you're asking,. is it okay to watch someone else play their own single character. Yeah otherwise watching streams on twitch while playing would be ban-able.
Just make sure you have zero input capabilities on their game, otherwise it's ban-able.

I think the more nefarious part of the question is...

If i am the tracker for a spawn can i share my screen with 100 other people and then those 100 people play their own characters but can see that the mob the tracker is tracking spawned.

Another nuance. I am playing a character and my friend turns on his pc and starts streaming. so now i am watching my character and his stream (assume there is no delay) and telling him what buttons to push, that illegal?

Another good one daladen mentioned. I turn on my work pc and log in a tracker for some mob e.g. Verina tomb. I then go home and leave that tracker on with an sms program to text me when it spawns. I then log in from home to kill this mob. since I am only 1 person playing at home and cannot possibly play the other toon is this illegal? What if my friend is the one who leaves his pc on instead of me doing it at work?

I petitionned to ask if I could "play" through Teamviewer, but got no answer.

Since the dll is seen as a virus by my corporate laptop, I can't play on various occasions. I wanted to be able to camp simple camps since with TV, the input is all messed up and you can't really move. You can sit, stand, cast, chat, but all the move keys are not properly working. However, typically, it's enought for an AC camp, PS camp or whatever static spawn with no agro around.

Without ruling, I didn't do it. But it'd like one [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you are telling him what buttons to push, I assume you are teaching a newbie, that is not two-boxing.

This is what motivated my question.

I know Sirken has mentioned many times on stream that he thinks it is despicable (my words not his) but I dont think he for sure said its bannable. also how is it enforceable.

What if instead of screen sharing i setup a web cam in my house and point it at the monitor?

What if I am at a lan party and get up to use the bathroom and someone is watching my screen.

its pretty subjective if you ask me.

"how else can i get around this box rule but still box? suggestions plz"

[Bboboo]

Even if it is, how would you even go about enforcing it?

Also if twitch had no delay would that be considered boxing if the streamer was tracking a raid target?
