The problem with ignoring "unintentional" laggers.

In most cases a player does not have control over their connection type (whether they cannot afford a new connection, there is no upgraded connection in their area, or they are not of age and play off their parent's connection). Trying to compare these two groups of people (trainer users, and laggers) is like trying to compare apples to oranges. Granted there are probably people out there who lag intentionally, but I don't see why the truly unintentional laggers have to be punished for the acts of a few people.

You should know more than anyone that I am not posting this because I am "butthurt" about anything. There are a few of us that don't let you win events or Castle Wars, I just don't think players should have such things disrupted by laggers like you.

From experience with the playerbase, I believe this to be untrue. I don't think I know a single person on the server that has over 300ms consistently and doesn't abuse and boast about it. They are in the same league as trainer users.
