I think kassel has it right. I was thinking about it some more and it seems that the implicit rule is that if it's possible for you to do it by yourself, you probably shouldn't.

Only Bob can multibox.

My wife and I both play and I tend to be paranoid about not wanting to be accused of multi boxing. I won't let my wife put me on follow when we are running somewhere etc, but someone who doesn't have an ip exemption could easily follow another without worry. I think it's just the price you pay for being given the opportunity.
There are times one of us might afk some to deal with children or work on dinner while the other holds down the camp. I think we just have to use discretion. Would the GMs ban you for a 7 min afk during which the other person kept killing? I don't really know Someone likely reported you so whatever you were doing had to be blatant enough that it was reasonably suspicious. | ||

If your story is true, this definitely is not against the rules.

Having never posted here before and thus having an unbiased view, I would just like to say that most of you posting "obviously 2 boxing," or some variation of it, should try actually putting forth facts as to why it IS 2 boxing. Seems pretty clear to me that that is not 2 boxing... However, as my uncle always said, there are three sides to every story. His side, their side and the truth.

Were it 2 separate IPs, then it's just a lazy group memeber, or a Powerlevel. Since it's ONE IP, it appear suspicious. See here's the thing. Since you're so proud of being unbiased, be unbiased from the admin side: You come across 2 people, one is sitting doing nothing, one is doing 100% of the work. After many minutes of observation pass, that one player still hasn't moved. A quick check reveals that BOTH CHARACTERS are being played from a single IP. Looks exactly like boxing to me. | |||

Yeah, but unfortunately with this, it becomes a situation where people will 2 box, and when someone calls them on it, they can just get someone else in their house to play the other toon to prove they aren't 2 boxing.
It should be very simple, If you have an exemption, then it's in your interest to make sure it doesn't appear that you're boxing. Because anyone can get an exemption, 2 box until someone reports them, and say "err yeah, my wife was afk feeding the cat to the baby and knitting." I'd like to think the gm's aren't just random canons running around and seeing 2 people from the same ip grouped with 1 person sitting still and the other killing and saying "2 BOXING!" *ban* and swooping away without observing or asking questions. The most likely situation is that someone claims their "other player" was afk whilst they were killing, but every once in a while that other person shows up to toss them a heal or a DS or a buff of some sort... in which case, hey, that looks like 2 boxing and they should be banned. Now this could be a case where someone is playing with their wife, and she's doing other things and showing up to heal periodically... thing is... that's suspicious and if you have a legitimate reason for having an exemption you shouldn't be doing that.

GMS please amend the rules to IP expm to "no AFKing for longer then 10 mins." This will help those that try to work around the 2boxing with the excuse of "he was afk....for 5 hours, but he was there danget!"

OP sounds reasonable, coherent, and argues his position logically and forcefully. Uthgaard can't come up with a good excuse to save his life. Judgment in favor of the accused.
