Its funny, I literally said the EXACT same things you've listed here to a mate of mine on Steam chat just a couple of hours ago.
I really hope we could at least get some sort of recognition that someone is indeed doing something about the problem. When the rates went up to 2x the crashes & lag seemed to be only worse. So if we're going to get Summer Bash and 3x and nothing is done, its basically going to be completely pointless to play at all. Which is a real shame - I really want to play Gen2
But brilliantly written man. I thank you on behalf of everyone on these servers. Please take a look at the situation @lilpanda @Cedric @Dollie
