stop making up rules. GM's stated that they do not deem "idling" at the server select screen to be two boxing. This was the rule back when FE was in full competition mode, crying about this same issue. I am not aware of any subsequent change of opinion on the part of Sirken and co.

That's not the relevant time; the OP's screenshots show Jeremy already going through the login process (with the server select screen greyed out) ~15 seconds after /q. This would be impossible without an IP exemption; normally it would take 30.

I find it difficult to care about 15 seconds though. It's hard to see this as anything other than rule lawyering.

'Rule Lawyering' is part of being a raid guild though...

Fuck. If I /q off Tecmos it takes me MINUTES to log in on another account (none of mine have exemptions, for better or worse).

in terms of this being 'proof' of anything, those are the relevant times, and server select was shown. I'll have to time it myself on my own computer when I get home.

edit: sorry to hear about your crappy computer/internet connection Tecmos :P

1018 error with a non-exempt account after a LD or /q shouldn't have anything to do with my end!

ah, you get locked out for minutes? this sometimes happens to me when I /q and the game locks up. I don't really know what causes it when I experience those long lock outs, but I assume its just server packet handling going awry or something else that sounds technical since I don't know much about how servers work.

I just timed it. For exactly 30 seconds after you /q, you'll get the 'you're IP has a temporary ban' message at server select. After that it took me another 1 minute to go through both loading screens.

Testing mine too now, haha.

Yeah. It was 30 seconds just now. Maybe I'm just remembering times I've gone LD with an ex-pet rooted near me so my character sits there dying (god forbid he should use any of the stuns or mezzes I ALWAYS have memmed) and I can't get back in as fast cause of combat.

You know when you just rage when someone brings something like this up; it makes you look guilty as heck.

I read the OP - went eh... what is he saving? Like 20-40 seconds? Bigger fish to fry...

The only thing I don't like is that an ip exemption isn't really meant to be used that way (which I don't know if that's really bannable or just revoking the ip exemption.

However, when you have that Jayn guy raging his ass off. It makes this just look like he's hiding something and overly defensive.
