making gproxy mandatory

[Psyclone]

Hey, I find it logical and necessary that gproxy is a requirement in the vouching process. But many older players who have an unstable connection, not to mention elektro, don't have it. Imo gproxy should be mandatory for all. Draws cause d/c without proxy are just a pain - I'm sure everyone agrees.

maybe 2 weeks ban for players who dc without proxy? I think all will have proxy then...

It's not that simple unfortunately.. some people do not still have their cd keys, and others are very poor at english and have too hard of a time to set proxy up; I have proxy but am not in favor of this, it will drive away some players who cannot install it, and that's not better than a few games where an unlucky d/c happens imo.

I support Gproxy mandatory. Today so far 3/4 Games draw, because player disc without grpoxy

I dunno if I support it to be mandatory. Typically, people with bad connections know it and get proxy. In many cases it also doesn't help, so... I wouldn't want to struggle with this Varlock shit all the time, since I am literally never dropping.

Just make penalties harder, then people will start using it if needed and maybe keep track of how often DC. There is no need for a 2 weeks ban because someone has no proxy but drops for the first or 2nd time.

Like Jamo said, there a few of us in lihl that litterally never drops..

so 2 week ban for a first timer is waaay over the top. Besides if I ( non proxy user ) would ever drop, it would be either, fatal error, bot crash(all dropd, or most), or power shut down, Neither of what proxy can recover anyway, so...

Maybe 3-5+ DCs in a season = Gproxy mandatory

[MarshMallows]

Why would you need to drop at all? If I can install and use proxy anyone can, im terrible with these things... Also there is a program called cd key grabber which tells you your CD keys I think, so that is no issue. I think if you DC without proxy and you can't prove that proxy wouldn't have helped, you should get a 2 weeks ban, it's selfish to drop without maximum protection. What's the problem with 2 weeks ban? if you never drop then it doesn't make a difference to you anyway.

Spanish ban for you. You only banned at midday for 2-4 hours, siesta ban.

I do not think that a proxy-mandatory is needed.
Since patch 1.27 only gproxy varlock works, and i dont see a reason why i should get it. I had no dc's since im back from austria (so its like 200+ games i would say) and i dont see a reason to force me using this shitty varlock and even WRITE ME PW there (cuz i refuse giving my passworts anywhere).

Its smth else with fana and players like dat, which dc in 50% of the games ^^

But tbh, i didnt recognize any bigger dc-problems in LIHL. Most games are played out i would say. There were seasons in the past, with A LOT more dc's. At least thats what i experienced.

[MarshMallows]

We don't have to make it mandatory, just 2 weeks ban if you DC without it and having it would have helped. If you don't DC then it doesn't matter to you, but if people are getting 2 weeks ban for something they can solve in 5 minutes by getting proxy, I'm pretty sure they will just get proxy rather than DC and ruin games.

[Dong]

so, Fatal error will not get you 2 weeks ban, if you don't have Gproxy, Sounds fair.

[MarshMallows]

No... I already said, if you can prove fatal with the logs then you don't get any ban... trade gang warfare for reading <3

[Nore]

We will not be making proxy mandatory, unless there is a significant outcry for such a rule.
