Confirmed no idea about game design or the definition of the word exploit.

....yea, thinking again about this, just leave it alone and let ppl plug.

[Arillious]

In conclusion: The majority say leave it alone. Some other's say develope a system to prevent it. In my opinion, no solutions have been offered that don't cause other problems.

I don't like it but I think we all agree that there are other things you should work on first.

Listen I play with the best zone pluggers in the game now.

But if you want it to be fair...

If someone goes Link dead because of plugging or a shitty connection (its almost 2012 no excuse for a shitty connection) you are unable to log back in for 10mins. Maybe even make it 15mins.

During raids this is a major problem when the whole guild you are fighting against plugs and you have to sit there constantly awaiting there return where otherwise you know you have 10mins to rally and kill the raid mob.

Just a thought.

So the guy with a 2.0GHz AMD has no advantage over your 350MHz Pentium-2 while playing a first-person shooter as you choke along at your frame rate of 4?

roflmao~ .... get job working anywhere... work 40 hours. buy any computer that came out within the last few years or the hardware to build it. ive seen the poorest ppl ever w computers that can 5box this old ass game....

what really got me was the guy who recommended a minimum zone time for ppl with ancient machines. rofl~ do something about it yourself

fyi, making a zone plugging prevention system would save ppl tons of time, especially for contested raid mobs. but at the same time, there def was strategy to it in grp pvp. im happy w/e the gms do, this server will be strong for years to come, they know how to keep their population satisfied =) very happy this server wasnt just a rumor

Same concern here. I still occasionally go LD while zoning, then get the "temporary ban" message. It'd be nice if the solution involved dropping the IP ban approach and instead caused the account to immediately jump back on the LD character.
