Hahaha nice joke. So tell me, how many of the proxy nerds can run the current version of celsaik without the in-out proxy? Must be the last 5% up to your 95%.
We all know what an huge ammount of modules are aviable in tera toolbox and you cant tell me you just use the pingthingproxy when you can have 100 more proxys which would give you a huge advantage in the game. Otherwise you can tell me how to kill petrax in 8s when you need at least 10s to move to petrax.
You know there are many many more modules which improving your characters like a buff patch. And when ppl in pvp teleport cause of the pingthingproxy, so you cant Hit them, it is for sure a cheat. This game is full of proxyshit, modules, tools and cheaters and it's all selfmade by the community itselfs. The biggest fault of GF was to allow even the harmless dps tools few years ago and didnt ban them from the start. The community now got what they deserved by starting with this shit years ago. Fishbots, naslowbots and all those shit are the consequences of gameforges no ban politic. Look for players like soaria, who even did youtube Videos of them cheating didnt got a permaban in the past, even when they cheated up to lvl 70 in few days there was no permaban and now bans would let the game die ofc. But as I told, i prefer a dieing game, then a game full of cheaters and proxy users.
God, you're ignorant as hell. You claim to know so much about proxy, yet you don't even know the name of Skill Prediction.
1: Skill Prediction gives the illusion of low ping. While your ping to the server might be slightly reduced as well, don't expect a reduction of more than 10-20ms. Skill Prediction is 90% client side. You will feel like you're playing with 20ms but you won't actually have it. This is for people who live far away from the servers so they can play without feeling clunky and slow. I used to play on NA with 150-200 ping and I can tell you it feels horrible. Try to play with high ping yourself before complaining about Skill Prediction.
Now that I play on EU I have natural low ping (20-30ms). Are you gonna complain that I have an advantage over you because I live close to the server?
2: I do pvp very often and I rarely have issues with people teleporting due to Skill Prediction. It used to be a big issue 3 years ago but right now I rarely encounter it. Teleporting even happened before proxy existed and was often caused by ping lag and low fps.
3: Dungeon guide modules aren't cheats. They are just an easy way to learn the dungeon. They don't do anything for you. They don't move your character for you. They just spam your screen with text about certain attacks like IN/OUT on Kelsaik or "back attack" on Bahaar. You will still need to learn mechanics and I don't consider this an advantage. It's just an easy way of learning without having to spend hours watching youtube videos (that don't even always exist). These guide modules are not a cheat. Someone who uses a guide module doesn't have any advantage over someone who actually knows the mechanics. After using a guide module for 10-20 runs you won't even need it anymore, even on Kelsaik. Kelsaik's IN/OUT is very easy once you get the hang of it.
4: Any actual exploit modules that didn't get blacklisted yet should however get people banned. Modules like Skill Replacer (the module that lets ninjas do flamethrower) for example. However, this isn't the fault of proxy. This is the fault of people who just want to cheat and if proxy is gone they will still cheat. When NA DMCA'd proxy, people were still cheating without it. Blame the filthy cheaters that abuse a program, not the program itself.
Take a virus for example. Do you blame the existence of programming languages because some people chose to abuse it and make a virus? People can use hotmail to send phishing emails, do you blame hotmail for that? Should we blame mobile phones just because some idiots use them while driving and cause a car crash? Do you blame science for the existence of drug addictions?
Blame the goddamn people with malicious intentions, not the thing they chose to abuse. Cheaters will cheat, no matter what. Getting rid of proxy won't get rid of cheaters. Report exploit modules on github and report exploiters with evidence to gameforge (for example, report all the ninjas on Moongourd that are very clearly using Skill Replacer).
If proxy were to dissapear, the one thing that will push people to quit is game performance and lag. Back when we had lvl 60 patch with only vanilla classes, skills were just skills. Now, skills are literal fireworks. You can't even properly see the boss anymore. Proxy enables you do turn off other people's skill effects so you can actually see something and not get migraines.
Everyone who doesn't live close to Germany will also quit the game due to feeling clunky and slow with their high ping. Blame BHS for these flaws and not the people who try to fix it themselves. You probably didn't play in NA during the time of the DMCA so you have no idea what kind of mess it became. The game was DEAD. LFG was empty all day long, Highwatch was a ghost town, no one bought EMP anymore, no one ran dungeons anymore and the Moongourd uploads for NA dropped to 5% of what EU was uploading. I'd say atleast 80% of the population quit during that time. People even abandoned characters with tons of costumes, gear and laurels and started over in EU. People abandoned characters for which they paid REAL MONEY. People don't just do that for no reason. People did that because the game runs like shit without proxy and it became unplayable for them. The game was so screwed that Enmasse literally BEGGED the proxy devs to support NA again. Getting a game company to do such a thing means the game was on the brink of getting shut down. If Gameforge does the same, then expect the same outcome. Either they will end up begging the proxy devs like Enmasse did, or they can shut their game.
Now, there are 3 things you can do.
1: Quit the game and stop complaining.
2: Be a crybaby on the forums without doing anything productive about the situation.
3: Actually do something about it. Start reporting/exposing people on various platforms (TERA, github, discord etc). Even report cheaters to the proxy devs. Don't only expose cheaters, but also the cheats themselves. Don't complain about an issue when all you do is sit on your lazy ass being a crybaby on the forum.
Also, something for everyone in this forum section: Stop crying about what Gameforge did to the fishing system. Unlike you they actually did something productive to improve the situation.
