Thats not true, I was on the phone recently with Turbine due to some account billing issues and while I had them there let them know I was a boxer and if they could note it. They said they couldn't but then I asked them if my boxing was a problem and they said no. As long as your actlvely playing keystroke action even if it goes to 2 to 6 characters thats fine. Its only when you are hitting 1 key and it does several actions. Thats considered a form of automating is against the rules.

What I did to run a hunter and minstrel together was use the num keys for the minstrel abilities and then set them up on the quickslots 49 and up. Its from this I can pop my ministrel in and out of warspeech and fight. I use the minstrel's fear alot with the Hunter's heartseaker so that it can't be slowed or even interupted. I was suprised on how well it works. Now something that might help you is to run 2 accounts per PC reducing the amount required to do what your trying to do is the use of Innerspace which allows multiple instances on 1 system. I would be interested in seeing you run this setup so if you do let me know I might make a toon on that server just to see you in action.
