You shouldn't complain even if the server is affecting you badly because you don't rent one and pay for tron servers.

If you're going to complain, host a server and enter it in tourneys. If you don't get your server and the current one you're in lags, then you can complain.

& that's exactly what no one needs, server owners up on their high horse about hosting
Pretty sure everyone would rather not even play in tournaments if half the servers available were s**t
Unless you're being unnecessarily harassed, take it as feedback, see if you can do anything about it and move on. I'd want to know if something I was paying money for was terrible for others

Right, a server host is providing a service to the so-called community you guys are always talking about. An attitude of "Screw the users, let them eat cake!" will lose you players to the servers run by people who do give a damn. Any (small) business or public service understands this basic principle: Your existence is entirely dependent on your patrons; you're accountable to the them, and if you want to survive you need their support, which includes taking feedback and constructive criticism.

Of course, the difference in this analogy is that the cost of a server isn't recouped by income derived from a fee on the users. So, I suppose if one thinks it's sensible to continue to pay money out of their own pocket hosting a server that no one plays because it's unplayable, that's their prerogative. :roll:

If I am in a server that sucks, I am going to complain because my servers are better and I should be playing in them.

A server hoster has the right to complain but a non hoster who donates nothing to the server owner has no right to complain.

Everyone has a right to complain about lag. It you, the individual, who places your own value on those complaints. I value lag complaints in my servers because I want to know if there is a problem I'm not seeing.

Don't you owe Taz money for your "awesome incredibly lag free" servers. :P

Anyway I agree with liz, Skill > Lag. Even when(IF) im lagging I switch up my game plan and figure out how to make the situation work in my best interest. I don't sit there and type "lag" or if someone wins over me I don't use lag as an excuse(like fofo did in the Sumo 1v1 Single Binding tournament when i beat him 2-0) Its your fault you lost not the server.
