He told me that anyway they left the game for good this time :]
I *loving* creased reading your signature. It reads like someone took one of Phant's retarded pro-cheating rants and made it intelligible.
The vsync thing is legit though tbf. Everyone should've been telling everyone about it freely and server admins should've been alerting people to these advantages with intro messages/message mutators. I'd been playing for about 5 years with vsync on by the time I accidentally found a discussion about it in the private annals of some clan forum (can't remember which). Anyway, after 5 years with it on, I just couldn't (be bothered to) adjust to it off so I've played my entire DX "career" with vsync on. Still a better sniper than Phant.
But, yeah, it's fair to say that DX is full of major and minor bits of knowledge that have always slanted the game in favour of old players -- something that anti-cheaters have always complained about and tried to fix but that Phant used as justification for cheating. DX suffered from veteran syndrome worse than any game I've ever seen. I don't recall anyone joining DX after about '08-'09 and making any kind of impact on any gametype.
It's amazing to think that even in 2010(?), the EdH server was still open to people setting their own weapon firerates. I suppose it's satisfying to know that a lot of people had so many opportunities to cheat, took them and still didn't get to the top.
With Phant's cheating and actual in-game experience, he should've been a top, top, elite-level player at the end. But he wasn't.
