"Add some kind of net code to partition off people with weaker connections or something?" This is the perfect summary of what they did with this game. And it is was not well enough communicated upon release. The reason why they remain silent and just ignore these kind of topics. Best we can do is avoid their games in the future and spread the word. All this talk about using hybrid servers this time is crap. They lured us in. I will never buy a game relying on peer-to-peer structure again. Ever.
