Why do you assume he's trying to be a competitive epeen boxer? He never asked about a prize, only mentioned that he was curious if there were any larger scale boxers devoted beyond trial accounts. Even if he were interested in having the "title" for most boxed currently, who gives a crap? Why cry about it? Good for him. I remember Xzin posting in the official forums about being proud to have been boxing the largest group in the game. Most everyone thought it was kinda cool.
I'm not saying he was, just clarifying that number of boxes isn't everything in this hobby. We don't really see too many 2-3 boxers speak their mind on the forums, and I want to make sure that it was clear that, despite his question, it's not a popularity race determined by number of characters boxed.

If he was interested in there were larger-scale boxers or what their experiences were, I'd have been happy to point him towards the two 20+ boxers who posted some photos of their rather elaborate rigs on this forum long ago. Nixi's kara thread also has some great information from a 10-boxer's perspective. But he didn't want that, so I clearly admitted that I don't have an answer to his particular scenario -- my post was, in essence, "be careful you're not alienating the community by unintentionally implying that the number of boxes you use -- today, with full accounts -- is any measurement of success".

Intentional or not, his question had an air of elitism. I'm just asking, nicely, that we keep in mind to watch ourselves such that we don't alienate the 2-3 boxers.
