Salutations to ALL of you

[Khatovar]

but most people have "illegal" names - especially multiboxers - are we all due for bans?

No, we don't. As a matter of fact, once I started multiboxing and read the rules on this site that state using an account that is not in your name can and likely will get you banned, both my husband and I deleted our well-geared, used from day 1, multiple max-level toon accounts and started over, because the names weren't correct.

Why is this a discussion? It is a violation of the rules, plain and simple, and D-B.com has a no tolerance policy about these things :

If it is against the ToS of the game you are discussing it is against dual-boxing.com's community guidelines to discuss ways of breaking said ToS. We are COMMITTED to keeping our hobby 100% compliant with the ToS of any game we play.

You're either following the rules or you're not. This is not the place for "well, I don't like that rule, so I'll ignore it."

To clarify:

I was not saying that I didn't like any rules, or saying that I ignore them. I choose to play the game, I thereby agree to follow the rules, and to the best of my knowledge, I do.

The reason courts exist in real life is that rule breaking is rarely a simple issue. Two people will inevitably interpret a given phrase in different ways. Add to that that most people don't really read the rules anyway, and the situation becomes much more complex.

I think we all recognize that, in life, certain actions will illicit a dramatic response (e.g. if I murder someone) and some will be unlikely to illicit any (e.g. drive past a police car at 5MPH/KPH over the limit). The rules we live by are a combination of laws and police policy. I simply assert that peoples relationship to the rules of a game follow a similar pattern (after all it's how humans behave)
