Player A wants to progress and gear up, can't find team so buys EGpal creds and pays a boxer, because player A took this root, player B can't find a team either because player A took that root in the first place, how can this cycle be broken ?
Simple
BAN THE BOXERS.
Player A wants to progress and lvl up, finds player b finds player c etc forms raid group, group raid, raid group learn and grown, group start a guild, guild grows.
This was the basic design of AO, boxing is breaking this simple sub-routine.
