lol. I can't.
But that's basically what happened to me when I was playing earlier.
1) Do not know how networking works
2) You do not know how the third party tools work
3) You are ignoring the countless people -still- struggling with latency issues
Weeks ago all was a chaos of skills and shiny effects sideways with a hell of lag and desync where all we could do is push buttons and hope for the best.
I don't try to convince anyone or to side with EME or to go agains't them but when they do something that works it is the right thing to do to inform them, because im not fighting here any verbal war with other players im only concerned about the interests gotten with right decissions made by Eme cause are my interests too since im no free player , the game is free to play yes but i decide to buy packs of 12k emp monthly ,
If i were a free player probably I wouldn't care If the game works fine or close doors tomorrow due thousands of undesirable users pestering the place as they please causing havoc.
I mean if it works fine I'd stay if not I'd leave simple as that but since i contribute economically i seek the best improvements ingame possible that suit my game experience, I don't wanna seem cocky or arrogant now but the truth is I am more important here than 500 angry cheaters which only contribution to tera were to be toxic to whine about everything to bring lag and to annoy me and other players ingame,
Im also aware some players may have thick skulls but it is not hard to understand that some players are more important than others for the community, that doesn't mean free players are useless they are very important too but the decent ones of course, the scammers, cheaters etc,, are often not wanted by any company for obvious reasons even if they write beautiful guides that i do not care about or even if they have fascinating skills creating illegal stuff and videos about it, I don't care about them and Eme decided they can survive without them so that is it.
As you see we are not all the same nor we are in the same situations and therefore we have different points of views wich im able to respect so I suggest you to do the same , If you really like Tera i guess is not debatable me and you as players want the best for the game, because it is the best for us as well.
I do play many other famous games i spend or spent on all of them because i can and want to and I've never been banned in any game ever, whenever i consider the game doesn't please me I leave with my money eñsewhere, I do not whine insult the staff or threaten with leaving or start childish boycotts demanding to the companies I may request only respectfully for changes and share some points of view when I estimate it may improve my game experience and the moment it doesnt fullfill my expectations i leave and I don't look back regardless the spent ask about maelslayer in Tera EU if you like to get an idea.
Said that I invite you again to join fw and see for yourself the lag reduction, relog first if you've been inactive all this time being in TR should not be a problem so dont worry Hyspherical, there is also a thread made some admin about latency problems in case that you need it
So for the last time I will not repeat myself about it again the results of their recent actions taken were good and pleased the important people that Tera needs , and by important I mean , economical supporters, free active decent players, old school expert players willing to help the newbies, no need for guides you can ask the nice people we have ingame they'll help you to choose the crystals combos etchings or glyphs you need , happy newcomers joining to explore and master classes and enjoy what tera offers, cosmetic lovers and cheerful friendly people wiling to learn pvp and pve mechanics, funny duelists, papori fans and many others. All these people mentioned will stay it's not like anyones forced to be here either so I don't really understand why so much whinning about it,
This is the last post i'll make concerning this matter testing frawyind and gridiron was enough for me now im sure corsairs will be as good as it should be, Thanks all for your opinions
Opinions vary.
Some say the removal of the hackers helped reduce the lag.
Some say the lag was reduced due to some players boycotting the game.
The hackers were affecting the game enough for EME to act against them, and for Noesis to announce the banning of all third party software. If their impact was trivial I doubt this would have happened.
It would be interesting to see actual data on the issue if EME was so inclined, so that the true impact of the boycott would be known. At least there would be no need to speculate then.
I doubt they would want to talk about that kind of data openly, though.
Spacecats said on reddit today that less than a dozen people have been banned. The very idea that it was enough to "get rid of server latency issues" is absurd. The "hackers" had nothing to do with the server latency and anyone claiming this does not understand the situation.

uuuuuuuuuuuh
Well, that wouldn't be the actual argument if you were going to make the case. It would be that between a) these people being banned, and b) the fear of being banned discouraging people to use the tools they were associated with, and possibly c) people upset about the ban (perhaps likely to have been using these tools) boycotting the game, that these together could contribute to less instability.
As was said above, I don't think we have nearly enough data to draw that sort of conclusion at all. But at least that would be the argument.
(Conversations about server latency are always more nuanced than people make them sound anyway. You have plenty of people saying there's not less lag because they're still being routed the same way, which is a total side issue in the first place. And we always have people in these threads who conflate network lag with FPS lag. It's not an obvious issue to discuss at the best of times.)
The absurd and MMORPG forums are frequent bedfellows.
The hackers had an effect on something. If they had not they wouldn't have been discovered, as nobody would have had cause to look their way. As to the specific effect, I don't see that it matters, as it was clearly unwelcome as it led to them being banned.
So basically you don't know how it works.
