Easy there pidgeon. No need to be so aggressive... I thought you might understand my plight, being a fellow gamer (presumably), and yet your response was pretty fucking stupid (no asterisk? Whoopee...). 'Who exactly is gonna do something...?' Erm... how about the IT staff who we're paying fees to employ to run a passable network? The packet loss affects ordinary net users as well as gamers, and it's their responsibility to sort it. Taking the attitude you do is just defeatist. You dumb shit. Try thinking before opening your mouth/typing/whatever in future. I never said anyone reading this board would fix it, I was simply opening a discussion and your lame flaming simply shows you to be an aggressive moron. Your post was stupider than mine, because:

1. I didn't insult anyone.
2. I was trying to make a seriuos point, not just slag someone off.


Anyway. I'm not ognig to be drawn into a flamewar, as I don't want to waste my time on you.

The thing is, bad packet loss is just a symptom of the greater inadequacy of the network; if the network was set up properly and was powerful enough to handle the traffic, there wouldn't be PL, so instead of us saying 'but we can't play games!!!' we can simply say 'there's PL, and that means... well... your network sucks!' I play Diablo II, and that's bad enough with the terrible lag on battlenet already due to dupers, with the PL thrown in as well I die regularly from monsters I never even saw... it was better even on my 56k at home!
