    Bottom line...

    Is boxing fun or not?



    Boxing gives you some freedom, in that you do what you want, when you want.
    You can AFK for 10 minutes, four times in an hour and not irritate anyone.
    You don't have to wait for three party members who each take a 2 min AFK, but one after the other as seems to inevitably be the case.

    You don't have some idiot need on your hunter gun, for their warrior.
    Your loot goes where you choose it to go.
    You have 5x the rewards, for things like dailies.
    And have the ability to stack things like professions.

    You also need to control five toons at once, which can be a pain in the ass in some instances.
    There is a definite limit to what you can do, controlling everyone, as opposed to one-boxing.
    You can attend every raid, every fight, which is not true for boxing.
    One-boxing is a lot cheaper then five boxing.
    Maybe you decide to downgrade to two accounts, instead of five.
    Or whatever.



    But I'd ask again.

    As usual Ualaa get the point

    At the moment i really don't know if is still fun..

    Avoiding bad human being is great thing but still don't know if is enough.

    Boxing gave me the chance to explore all the classes, macros, specs and this was a lot of fun.
    Now i can say i know better the game of 80% of the players.

    My feelings are like being at the end of a path and i really don't know if i would start again from the beginning.
    This path end because of the raids difficulty.

    Maybe the solution will be another boxer for sharing experience but is a hard thing to find, there are not many boxer and we are lonely soul

    Another solution will be the nerf of the raids with the next patch ...
