EVERY time I'm around other people who are moving about, I hear sooo much *****ing about it. Every time I quest with people, or do anything with people that involves moving from point A to point B, I hear *****ing about the rubberbanding and most of the time, how it should be removed. You're right though, not everyone wants rubberbanding removed, some deem it necessary. However MOST people do want it removed, and the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Lab, if PART of the code is broken, and it's bringing everything down, you remove it. I'm sorry if this simple concept is beyond you, but that's generally how programming works. Because that one tiny piece of code can **** up so much. And until it's fixed, it'll just keep ****ing everything up. I mean think of it from a hard-ware standpoint. You have your computer, it runs fine, but an OPTIONAL component keeps it from booting up. Your choices are A: Leave it in while you repair it, being unable to use your computer B: Remove it while you repair it, being able to use your computer. The choice is painfully obvious, isn't it? And I didn't call him a troll for disagreeing with me, you and him have been arguing with me for hours and I never called you trolls. I called him a troll for what he was doing in that post, trolling. Not because he was disagreeing with me, but because he was being an idiot. "dohoho 50 people! even though only like 3 are on the side of rubberbanding!" That was a very blatant trolling attempt, and I called him out on it. Last edited by Colt-556; 10-26-2009 at 10:36 PM. |

Ok, hypothetical here. Government has a website that has top security information on it. Hackers find a way to steal information. Webmasters apply a prevention method that, without originally realizing it, slows down the speed of the website enormously. Now, here are the options: A) Let the hackers run free and remove the prevention while working on a fix, because obviously the information will be wiped someday anyway, seeing as it's top secret. B) Leave the prevention there until they can fix the security method, causing a lot pain for access, but preventing security leaks. Hmm, I wonder which is better... And no, his last thing was derisive sarcasm, not trolling. It becomes very tempting to use statements like that if the person you're arguing with doesn't seem to be understanding anything you're saying. Should I start calling you a troll every time you use a cuss word? Look up the definition ffs. |

Government has a website that let's you play flash-games, however it's a test-bed and will be completely wiped clean. Hackers hack in and give themselves the highest scores. The government adds an anti-hack but in doing so slows the site down to worse then 56k standards. Now because of this no one can test the new flash games. Their options are: A: remove the anti-hack software, let the hackers enjoy their meaningless high scores while letting everyone else test the games B: Leave the anti-hack on, and thus severely limiting the testing that can be done because it takes forever to do anything. Hmmm, I wonder which is better.... Cuz in the end, that's the point. The server's gonna be wiped, anything the hackers obtain is meaningless, it'll all be taken away. So is it worth keeping them from cheating to get something they wouldn't be able to keep anyways, if it means making testing inefficient and pissing majority of the community off? If you can legitimently answer yes to that.... then wow. |

Fail. I think you've effectively made any points you are trying to make null and void.

You know you've lost an arguement/debate when you have to use someones mistake in wording to try and win.

/me looks forward to getting home, and continuing to hunt down his rumor on Endor, even with the rubberbanding that people keep whining about incessantly and unnecessarily.
Sorry about your emotions. They make me sad too. |

No you getting caught in a lie and backpeddling is when you know you've lost.
To each his own. Hang ten dudes

How did they: a) log in without forum accounts b) Talk to you without forum accounts? Did some random guests just decide to send you a random public message?

As I had already said, I said the wrong thing, simple. What I meant is they don't post. Thousands of people ingame have forum accounts, doesn't mean they post though.

Sure thing bud. Still sounds like fabricating scenarios to suit your argument to me.

As an officer of my guild, I can assure with certainty that all of its 25+ members manage to have a fun testing time alright, even with the rubberbanding. And what of the fact that the server reaches its full capacity every single day of the week? That says a lot about the players' resolve at using the TC as it is. Next time you go make demands in the name of the whole community, please make sure you get elected or it will be my pleasure and honor to put back that Egotist Usurper hat on your head. On the other hand, if you find a way to get yourself elected as this community's voice in that matter, I'll see that as democracy. This is not about removing or keeping the anti-hack code. It is about respecting everyone. We all can speak for ourselves and you have no right to take that from us. Last edited by Yyss'a; 10-26-2009 at 11:31 PM. Reason: clarity |

Go and ask your guild-mates "Would you mind if rubberbanding was removed", or hell if you wanna get more detailed "Do you WANT the rubberbanding removed". Since again, tolerance is NOT acceptance. |
