Suggestion for rule change Dualboxing

Hello this is a suggestion for a smaller rule change regarding dualboxing.

I know this is an MMORPG were people should play togheter, but sometimes that aint possible or you actually want to play by yourself.

so first of all we must look on the downsides that dualbox can do,
1, server lag?

ehum that is actually the only downside i can see on the fact of dualboxing,
i am not suggesting that we accept botting in any form,
but for a person to be able to have 2 characters online for example warrior and a priest on follow,
no scripts just pure dualboxing,

if we are afraid of alot of pwlvl then make a definition rule of how many levels betwen the characters,

for example if a person have 1 warrior lvl 20 and one priest level 19 and dualboxing by the way of just have one character following the other but still need to physical control both with casting and whatever i have hard time to see how this can affect the game in any negative way,

so the only reason i see that can make an issue would be server load.


and i hope this post like the other not starting a flame.
dualboxing was always a big part of vanilla and i understand that this server are free compared to blizz.
but i dont see what that has to do with dualboxing or why people are against it, i havent heard any good reason for not allowing it, since its not about power levling, not about botting, its about to be able to quest with more than one char at same time on either same computer were u alt tab or just have 2 monitors or 2 computers.



for people asking why yet another thread i refer to

There's really no need to dualbox. It gives a huge upper hand to an entirely self-serving and anti-social player in an area of the game that was designed for the exact opposite. Also, not everyone has a PC that can easily dual-box. Additionally, not everyone likes to dual box so in order for me to do a 2-man quest why should they make me have a harder time finding someone to do it with? Dual boxers don't give a crap about helping other people, which is why they dualbox in the first place. Not the kind of community people want/need here.

Vanilla is not solely a game of numbers like current WoW, so let's not try to make it that.

If you wanted to tag mobs with your low level and kill them with a high level, I could understand it to some extent (as I hate leveling myself), but if you just want a "buddy" then /join general and just ask. Plenty of people, particularly tanks and healers love some company and you might even make a friend (scary prospect, I know).
