once I did an experiment and banning most of the Mexican ip address range with gandanur, cause the pirates pissed me of only talking Mexican killing you with the banshees and tanks in noobish ways while you are trying to get some kills and scores...

guess what happened?
I was there with only 5 other people who where also from mexico but where not in that ip address range...

I still enyoy the game most of the time, joining up with my clan on teamspeak and actually using tactics to take down those tank noobs.
and ive been tweaking my game types by reducing the amount of tanks and banshees as well as removing unlimited nades on some maps.

the only thing is these people now also start to join my clan, and some of them are real noobs and annoying oh well you can always kick them out again or try to change them...

beside lots of pirates are also from the middle east cause the game is not being sold their and it does not get shipped if you buy it over ebay cause they only ship to western country's...
its not that they can't afford it, cause they can afford to hire servers from me...

I think we should keep them, you can always ban someone if he's a dick anyway beside legit players can be dicks to...
you see the amount of players increases so does the amount of noobs.
if 1 of the 4 players is a noob on 1.09 and 4 of the 16 are on 1.0 its still the same, but you will notice it more cause there is more of them.

oh and sorry for making another useless reply...
