As someone who has experienced a shitty connection for the past two months, and as such in some way a viable witness to this situation, I feel that I can safely add something to this thread.
Having a bad connection is terrible. If you ride on your horse, you constantly loop forward and walk into invisible walls because client side didn't show your true position. If you play infantry you can slide through swings, swing through air and completely miss blocks. If you play ranged, you hit your allies, or miss entirely.
However, a bad connection does not cause you to only manage 1 kill an hour as stated by Tydeus and the logs. When I first started playing this game I could at least get two. Plague, as someone whose been playing the game for four years, your idea of an excuse is extremely bewildering. (auto correct asked me for child bearing heh) Even if you were to have such "terrible" lag spikes, you would either give up playing, or try even harder. As such, from my own personal experience, hanging out in duel with your lag spikes teaches you some things about being a risky player.
From my personal findings, and my opinion of Plague and the admin team of cRpg, I feel that Plague is not truly playing the game. I feel as if he is leeching and as such, don't think that his excuse is adequate enough to warrant such terrible statistics.
