WTH are you talking about?
The level of uninformed is strong in this post.
Ok, I've been multiboxing with ISBoxer for years in EQ2. I've never been "shunned" by the game I play. Sure, there are a few busybodies on the forums that don't like multiboxing. But this is the same crowd that's always worried about how everyone else is "playing the wrong way". They don't like SLR, mercs, solo or non-group/raid content, or any other way of playing that doesn't fit their narrow-minded view. If you're worried about these people or their opinions, you have bigger problems that cursor sync. Now as far as the "game" itself, or the company, or developers or what have you, multiboxing is fine. Our last community manager, Luperza, was a multiboxer. And there have been many posts stating that it is fine (along with software like ISBoxer itself). You just can't automate anything(aka botting), which ISBoxer doesn't even have the capability of doing.
The best way for us to help you is to look at your config, especially for your window layout and all involving cursor sync. And sharing your config is not "giving your info to a 3rd party site". In fact, here is the very screen you get when copying your config:
ISBoxer doesn't even use account names for EQ2 - it only has character names if you put them in your config. But of course you can hide that as well. And to further assuage your paranoia, here is my posted config WITHOUT any of those privacy boxes checked:

Narsikus, Subservience, Synnikul, Satyrika, Smarmus and Plaguez.
ZOMG - I just outed myself as a multiboxer!!! People can now look me up on EQ2U, see that I'm on the Butcherblock server, send me hate tells/mail, publicly shame me on the EQ2 forums, or they can petition/report me to Daybreak!!! I will no doubt be banned for all of perpetuity. ZOMG, what was I thinking??? /sarcasm off
