Is screen sharing boxing?

In principle, I agree that it should be against the rules to face track a mob by screen sharing information...but how can this really be policed? If someone wants to do this covertly I can not think of how you would stop them other than relying on someone in the guild to snitch them out.

no need to police, just have an auto DC feature if the char hasn't moved or typed anything in 1h

It's not about cheating. Its about people wanting to see how far they can push something before it gets them in trouble. They dont want to be in trouble but want to be able to do anything and everything up until that fine line. The issue happens when someone does something that borders that line and then someone else gets their panties in a ruffle and demand answers. Then GM's dont help the situation by giving undetailed rulings on things which in turn just lets this sort of behavior continue. If GM's sat down for a day or 2 to hash out all of these rules or loopholes it would save them days worth of petitions and discussions about said loopholes or workarounds. In the end the GM's just make it harder on themselves by not laying out all the rules plain as day so no moron can sit there and say "well it wasnt in the rules"

yah, because you can't macro a keystroke every 30 minutes to reset the timer.

there are legit reasons to stay afk in classic EQ...throwing that out makes the solution worse than the problem.

If you logged in both chars, and noone is sitting at one. Its boxing. If someone else logged in a char, that is being watched by you while u play a diff char, and noone is sitting controlling other char. Its boxing. Dont play the its a twitch stream game, if the ultimate purpose was to have a char logged in, that noone intends to sit there and play.

It sounds like you are trying to bend the rules to box.

I was hoping this thread was about playing EQ split screen

[Chrig]

If the owner of that account is not on any other character, than fuck no it shouldn't be bannable. If that's what he wants to do with his EQ character so be it. If he is on a different account than fuck yes ban him. It should be that simple tbh.

just ban OP now imo
