The problem with ignoring "unintentional" laggers.

No idea why you're quoting me when I didn't even bring it up (probably eager to argue with me) but they're both placing everyone else at an unfair disadvantage. Both are questionable, and if neither are provoked, don't expect either to change.

I quoted you because you quoted Sales, who had mentioned players who were using "speed tools" to increase the framerate of Graal. You, in your message, said someone had recently been banned for that, which is apparently reason to create a thread about lagging.

I'm gonna take a new spin on this one and not blame Chakrah for his excessive lag and refrain from calling him an ass (even though he is). Instead, I'm calling out the entire UN staff for not doing ANYTHING about it. How long has lag been a problem on Graal? Its a classic "he can't help how badly he lags" argument. Its gotten to the point where *Torrent and Aarian have been winning the TTMST, seriously people. I feel like there has to be SOME (if any) boundaries to these laggers. It may be true that the player paid the same money we did, but that doesnt necessarily mean that they deserve to enjoy the game to its fullest extent. We could simply argue "We paid more money for our good connection - we should get SOME sort of special treatment", but that would seem immature. Not only do these players not deserve to play events, they also shouldn't be allowed to participate in any major tournies. It still IS a big problem on Graal, which is sad, because you'd think by now people would have done something about it. Its gotten ridiculous and completely out of hand, and the only people who can (and probably wont) do anything is the UN staff.

I'm just interested to see if these restrictions are put into effect, how many peoples MS will drop from 600 to 250 to 100 to 49. "I FIXED MY INTERWEBZ GUYS!!!!!"
