Why the netcode issue exists, and why it cannot be fixed.

The one thing that really gets to me, and what may end up being the reason I cancel is that SE seems to be.... not too bright.

Decision: Let's make it server side instead of client side like basically every other MMO out there so we have less cheating/hacking/etc.
Result: I've seen more frequent botting/teleporting/duping/hacking in this game then any of the other major MMOs I've played at release. Meanwhile the rest of us get stuck with a terrible netcode that doesn't work for a game requiring .5 second responses.

Decision: lets make it so you can only mail to people on your friends list so we have less RMT.
Result: RMT spam as rampant or more than any other MMO I've played, RMTs have multiple accounts and can easily friend each other to mail or face to face transfer. Meanwhile the rest of us who pay extra for alts, can't transfer items to our own characters.

It seems like they just spit out all these random ideas without actually thinking of the real effects. Whats more, in what may be just them trying to save a little face, they refuse to respond or change many of these decisions once its pointed out that it isn't working the way they thought and instead is just making it harder for the normal players.

Lots of hyperbole in this post.
