Why is boxing frowned upon?

[Stinkas]

this a great answer, ty.
so you don't mind it per say, just how it's abused.

[Stinkas]

i appreciate your reply. but boxing and bot'g are two different things.

[Stinkas]

ty for your reply
agree to disagree.
boxing (unlike bot'g) was allowed afaik so the classic claim doesn't hold for me, sorry. i could have maybe met you halfway with full group boxing.

again, i'm not looking to change the rules, just trying to get a feel for the community.

regards.

Because if you go to get some xp and the best spots are taken by some loser with a bot army, you'll get bored and log off. Then the server would just end up being 5 fat unemployed dudes running around with their bots

Well said. I agree.

Don't feel bad Stinkas. A lot of people instantly want to jump on anyone that has a legit question and act like they are the only ones that ever played EQ back in the day. For me, I used to box back on live in 1999-2000, but I was living in a dorm and had a T1 line back then and could afford 2 accounts. Now, sadly, computers would allow someone to easily box 6+ accounts all windowed, which would actually ruin many zones. Given the amount of neckbeards that are willing to camp 18+ hours for a semi useful item merely to have a chance of making money in a couple of years, you can only imagine how said players would exploit being able to six box.

It's not frowned upon, it's against the rules. Hope you enjoy your ban. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

i want get an understanding for the position

The thesis is that players' dependence on socialization in classic EQ was a vital component of its success and popularity, and that free boxing removes too much of that dependence.

You may disagree, but the relative success of p99 compared to all other emulated EQ servers is strong evidence that it is correct.

This. It's against the rules because it's a huge part of what makes p99 successful. If you want to box there are plenty of other shit servers with shit populations you can play on.

You can wordplay all you want about it being "frowned upon" rather than straight up against the rules or that you will "agree to disagree" about whatever the fuck. It doesn't matter what you think. Don't box here or enjoy your ban.

Why be a douche and assume the guy is trying to game the system? Not everybody thinks like you do. Look at the guys join date. He literally has been here less than a month.

Were your parents murdered by a 2 Boxer in a dark alley? The dude just asked why the policy exists, he even stated at the onset that he isn't lobbying for change. You lack of play-nice could get you banned just as easily as a boxer if this is how you roll on the server.
