I especially like the part where you ignore all of everyone's valid points, while claiming they're wrong for ignoring your own less valid points.


Cow presents an important perspective, and you vastly blow Graal's issue with hackers out of proportion. Your opinion is built out of some light involvement with a server that's broken itself more often than hackers have, and somehow you're using that minor involvement to constitute an air matter-of-factness that you truthfully shouldn't have.

Graal has seen numerous successful servers in the past, without the updates later versions of the client have brought. Arguably, the changes that came with Graal are even in some cases responsible for killing them off (Delteria being one example).

Delteria also makes a nice example of how irrelevant your hacker argument is, but I'll leave that one alone.

To be blunt, and play on your dumb shell vs. game stance; the "shell" has sharply fallen with later releases, while the "game" (read: background processes) has only slightly risen - and quite slowly, given v6's long wait. That's hardly a worthwhile trade off.
