I think punishments are a bit too lenient in general, and lessening the punishment for 2-boxing would be a step in the wrong direction. If it's done only in a few circumstances then the rules are not being applied equally, which is unfair. I just found out that if you're suspended on one account, you can still play on another (that's what Steaks is doing now. He plays on a mage named Chocobo to pass the time while his warrior is suspended). I think this is ridiculous, I may as well put all of my characters on different accounts so that I can basically exploit with impunity on each of them. I mean here you have a person who clearly has bad intentions, he exploited a mob in a really egregious way because he thought he wouldn't get caught, and his "punishment" is that he gets to level up an alt for the next week. This same person does nothing but spam the forums with borderline unreadable posts that bash the staff. He's also repeatedly defended his actions and said that the server is not coded well enough so it's the devs' fault that he exploited. If a person like this is getting a second chance I hate to see which 2-boxers will be given leniency.

Why would you ever level 2 high characters on the same account anways??? Helps in many situations, specially the ones you said above. Same reason people use banks instead of hiding money under their mattress, not for the awsome .0000000% interest, to protect themselves.

I don't actually have or plan to have more than one high leveled character on either server, my point is that it's kind of a weird extra punishment for people who don't use multiple accounts, in addition to being far too lenient on people who do use multiple accounts, since a punishment on only one account is basically meaningless when you have several others. To answer your question though, I guess I'd rather not pester the staff about IP exemptions constantly?

how many times have you been sitting there waiting for a certain class for example cleric and or enchanter knowing full well one of your groupmates or you could play one and get the exp flowing ?
if you want to talk about hurting exp groups end all the high end drama over raid bosses , you cant even get tmo members to group with IB or vd and u cant get vd or ib members to group with tmo so what are you left with hoping your real life friends are online(we all know we play this Bcuz we have no friends)? I think all the people who say 2boxing limits groups are just mad they cant load 2 windows on there dos puters.
