"do you think 6 months of lagging due to your programming incompetance is acceptable? "
===
As one of the people who wrote it, I really don't think it is acceptable. However, it was a trade off between fighting the botters and introducing lag, and leaving the botters in the game and ruining the experience in another way. This did keep the botters out for a good 4 or 5 months, so I think it was worth it.
We have been working hard to remove the lag, and defeat the botters, but these two things are intrinsically linked.
