I am not looking for, nor interested in using a Warp plugin, but I am interested in understanding why it might be in Sony's best interest to allow it. It seems to me that they could easily check to see if a character has spanned a distance faster than the highest speed would allow and put the character back at the start. I believe it really would not require much code and they could still record the "warp" as I have read they do. I understand there must be some leeway due to it being a network game over the internet and you have latency differences across varying distances and even server lag but it still seems to be a problem they could have addressed in 11 years. Anyone have an idea of why it possibly could not be prevented? Or is it simply a money issue and the cost to Sony is higher than the amount of people they will lose if stopped?

I dont know the answer to your question as I know shit about this stuff, but I do know that when I see ppl warp it still pisses me off to no end. True, I can only tell that people are warping due to the fact that I use cheats... go figure. Anywho, I think that if they could have fixed this then they would have years ago when SOE still gave a shit. SOE no longer has the staff or the give-a-damn about this stuff to fix it.

I once got suspended for being COTH'd.. Got caught in their warp detection.

Zoned into Qvic, got COTH across, Zoned into instance.. Kicked to server, couldn't log in. Bastards.

(Tells you how long ago THAT was..)

Poor client design and insufficient skill and resources to implement the fix.
