As I said in a previous message, a simple solution would be to delay flushing the logs to disk by a random amount of time, somewhere between 1 and 30 minutes. Also flush on zoning, /q, disconnect and camp. Do it on Green only. If people want to mess around on Blue with GINA and solo Naggy or whatever on their 5k hp monks - go for it, Blue is the place for it. But Green = classic, hard mode.
This way, we preserve the logging feature, but we essentially disable GINA and similar third party programs that give an unfair advantage.

This really sounds like the best idea if it is technically feasible and not able to be easily circumvented by GINA modifications (and it sounds like it would be very difficult to adjust for that in real time of the logs were being delayed by a variable timer). We would retain all the legitimate uses for logging while eliminating thoroughly unclassic, de facto cheat programs being run outside the client. Can anyone really say that would be a bad thing on Green?
