I agree with OP on this topic. The rules clearly state you can't control two characters at once but ever since I've started playing I've seen people dual box to PL, HELM and farm. When you've got an alt in Zeruhn Mines just hitting mining points when up while you're accomplishing real content on your main it's not fair for other people that don't have access to dual box so they're investing their real time. Like OP I think dual box farming is absolute bullshit because once again you're not really investing your time because you're accomplishing real content on your main. I'm also not a fan of dual box PL because there isn't someone on the other side of the PL investing their real time to give their friend(s) and exp boost. Just reading a couple responses on the first few pages I understand people enjoy playing on two characters at the same time and doing the boring shit on their alt while their main does real/fun content but I think it's bullshit and I'm glad someone's finally spoken up. The rules need to be enforced and if the rules say no dual boxing it's time for people to cut it out.
Controlling two at the same time means literally one key stroke = both characters reacting. This rule was put into place because people would level two BLMs and keybind them to do the same thing so they could play both at the same time. It doesn't mean having two game clients open which are in no way connecting, which is what dualboxing is.

1. FFXI doesn't need to be fair.
2. Everyone has access to dualboxing in 2018 (hah, now 2019!). I don't think you can even buy a computer that can't dualbox now.
