    And, ironically, you just ended being one of those people... No one else in the thread is qualified except you? It's funny how high and mighty some people think they are.

    Btw I have a degree in Herp Derpology so I'm the only qualified expert in this thread as far as uncovering herps and derps goes.

    I just have a knowladge of how things work, I arent saying there are no one else that does know what they are talking about, but I can guarentee that most people in this tread talking about engine redesignes and server overhauls got thier information off wikipiedia, then came in here.

    If i worked for SE on the servers and network infrastructure I would launch a range of network monetoring software to find the bottlenecks in both the routed infrastructure and servers to suggest upgrades or changes to protocols that are used to increase performance of they systems, for example if one router is nearing its limits and another is barely used, why is that?, so I would change the cost of the interfaces so the routers would load balance better, I would store configs on a tftp server so when devices were changed it would take less than a minute to configure them.

    Lets see suggestions from all the other "experts" in this thread rather than saying that everything is crap, lets help SE fix it is everyone is apparently experts.

    My suggestion could reduce latency hugely if devices arent properly load ballancing for some reason.

    Yeah sure, I can really see that happening. I'm sure all they can think of at the SE offices is to check the forums for help on how to manage their servers.

    Do you have any idea how unbelivably naive that sounds? They know what they could do, they're just not doing it fast enough.

    They also know these problems exist and are trying to fix them, do you think they constantly need it ramming down thier throats? if you want the engine and server changes fast you can enjoy playing you unplayable game because they had to botch the core of the game which is alot bigger than most people on these forums could even contemplate.

    You have no idea how much you could do with a server, there could be configs the devs didnt think of that will increase performance of the game, these forums could be really good for the server and network engineers at SE because they have a chance to potentially get suggestions from people that work in the business, and it would allow them to get feedback, they wouldnt normally get.

    Yes they may not listen but of we give suggestions then its SE's fault, however if we dont offer anything SE can say they were expecting feedback from the players on possible changes and they could look into them.

    These forums were made so we have communication with the devs, but most people dont wanna offer any suggestions then complain the devs didnt do what they want, this thread is the same, while the problems are there which I wont deny, if there that bad, the help the devs change it, if you know whats wrong with the engine and network, offer suggestions, if they dont listen then its thier fault, and the community reps have access to everyone thats involved in the game so they can pass any suggestions on.
