Okay, seriously guys, this list's occupants are great most of the time,
but sometimes a thread makes me feel like I'm on the World of Warcraft
forums.
Speculation is fun and all, but until an official statement comes in,
that's all it can be: Speculation.
Just please, before posting, think about what's being said and whether
it goes against even just common sense.
Is it cool that servers "cheat" and get more players for it? Probably not.
Should it be handled? Probably.
How should it be handled? Some folks have had really good observations
on the thread that maybe the policy or handling needs to be redefined.
Will somebody be butt-hurt from handling things? Always. Whether they
are hurt from it not being handled or hurt because "OMG, U B& ME!" or
because they feel it wasn't handled the way they would have done it, the
rear ends will be in pain.
People who follow the rules take a penalty from people who don't and
can't fill their servers!...
Then why are there as many full rule-following servers out there as
there are? Perhaps, when "cheating" takes away a free handout, rather
than waiting for somebody else to fix it, figure out how to become like
a full non-cheating server.
Does not knowing the speed limit excuse you from a speeding ticket?
I guess you don't drive much, because yes, it absolutely can. While one
shouldn't RELY on it, because it's not an absolute (see that "not black
and white" thing), it's perfectly possible. Although a better example,
since the link was shaky at best, would be too big a diameter tire
putting 10% speed or so above what the speedometer says.
But really, the people who are complaining about the issue right now
seem to be more interested in complaining to complain and be annoying
than to help find solutions that make sense. So take a step back and
think about it before clicking post. If the message sounds like a whiny
forum post from WoW forums... It probably won't help you get your way.
