Do you feel like something like client side prediction would benefit the game?

From what I know client side trust seems to be something that the development team leans heavily away from, and it also seems that it would benefit responsiveness. I'm focusing on tick rate because that seems more realistic that it could be improved as opposed to client side trust.

Would just asking for player position tick rate improvement be more accurate?

Like what does everyone pretty much agree would make the game feel like it has a modernization of the netcode. Like I understand there are varying opinions, but if it could be condensed to a few simple requests from the community what would that feedback and requests be?

Because it still seems like a clear specific message isn't being communicated, and conversations detract to and the requests becomes muddied and unclear.
