The Box Test

[Madbad]

You shouldn't need an exemption then, box away!

I came across this problem personally .
Got my wife to play with me, she loves mario kart 8, and mario party 10, aside from that is a noob of noobs.
So her and I are grouped with some peeps at like oasis or something .
I figure meh seems like a cool bunch of people, so I log my epic cleric , buff the group, then back to my char , then someone in group dies I log the cleric and epic Rez him and rebuff group. (Keep in mind gf is still on her char) she really sucks hehe.
Anyways someone in my group petitioned that I was probably boxing... First of all what a fucking asshole, I just took my time and peridots to buff you and epic Rez you, then we get teleported by GM, and have to run backwards figure 8's around opposite random trees.. She did ok, but the GM was wondering why that person sucks lol.. Anyways we passed, ... Needless to say I ditched that group, them now losing their healer and main dps, cause they wanted to be pussies, and I got my RL Druid buddy to PL us for a couple hours, leaving the group behind a couple levels.

Food for thought , everyone's not hardcore, some people suck hehe, don't be a dick. I agree with no boxing, but don't be a bitch.

I'm still playing to this day.. She is not, couldn't get into it, and felt the people were ungrateful assholes hehe

"my wife just got up to take care of the baby" is one of the most common excuses when people get caught boxing according to whatever gm was on one of sirkens recent streams.

I actually could see that being a good reason. I play all the time while taking care of the baby and randomly get up for extended periods.

Well you know sometimes you have days like that with a baby/kid. They sleep unsettled or whatever. If it is just me playing solo,I will often fight a mob, throw breeze or haste or whatever on anyone near then go afk while mana regens.

I suppose it depends what class you are, if you are a warrior, no one is going to accuse you of boxing, no matter how long you go afk for, but a druid or shaman might have more issues. Being AFK shouldn't be a bannable offence, if you are caught moving/casting buffs and try and claim you were afk then I can see the reasons.

That being said, it is not a paid server, we have what rights we are allocated by management, not consumer affairs. It is a fine line and, obviously, they feel it is better to ban the occasional innocent rather than let boxing run rampant. I can see the point and if boxing were let to go crazy we would all complain that something had to be done.

I sure my wife could run figure 8's around a couple of trees while I did the same or performed some other task. So I feel better about it.
