Closed Dan tests are unbalanced and unfair

My whole point is that being able to look at the files contents beforehand does you no good at all unless you know exactly what it is you're even looking at in the first place, and if you are well versed enough to be able to determine that then its very likely that you need neither that guide nor the easymode script in the first place anyways. Unless you genuinely know what you're doing, downloading anything from third party sources can be potentially harmful, that goes tenfold for third party sources that are just some random guy who made a thing. Even all that aside, once again, no other game I have ever played requires you to dig through a giant list of crap to maybe disable. Mabinogi requires this only because of its horrid netcode, which was designed for a smaller geographical region and wasn't adjusted much if any at all for the larger region that the NA servers cover. Not everyone who plays mabinogi is going to be literate enough with a computer to even begin to attempt any of the tweaks necessary for this game, let alone feel comfortable with doing it. That is why this sort of thing is SUPPOSED to be ironed out by the devs, and generally is with pretty much every other game that exists.
I imagine you probably think these files are full of spaghetti code no one can understand .. and you would be wrong .. ~

Looks like an answer to that point to me. Shouldering this kind of thing on the players before they are able to get the game to a playable state is not a solution to a problem caused by their sloppy netcode.
It doesnt have to be spaghetti code nobody can understand for it to be a bad idea to download something without knowing for sure what it is, nor does code have to be spaghetti for the average mmo gamer to be unable to understand it.
You provided that as a solution to the lag that plagues this game making some of the dan tests impossible. I didn't say those ONLY work for mabinogi, I said that mabinogi is near unplayable WITHOUT a bunch of stupid system tweaks when no other game is like that. Will the same tweaks improve performance in other games? Absolutely. Do most other games require them for the game to be reasonably playable? Hell no.
That is literally exactly what I said, its right there in the quote you made. I said that most games will BENEFIT from it, but only mabi REQUIRES it to be able to do things like dan 3 mag.
It's not a requirement.
When you lag so bad without it that getting one of your skills ranked up the rest of the way becomes completely impossible, that would mean that it is required to rank that skill. If that skill happens to be a critical part of how you play the game, then that means it is required for you to play the game. Logic, I know its hard.
That and more actually. tcpnodelay, superfetch, and more enough that I dont care to list them all even if I could remember every one. Once again though, if you were to give those instructions, step by step or otherwise, to an average pc gamer, a good chunk of them would be too scared of messing things up to even attempt it themselves and handing them a script written by joe blow writessomecode isnt any better.
I sense a bit of backpedaling in your tone. ~ -- Your idea of script and mine are worlds apart .. -- ..
~ and he's hardly a joeblow .. lol (joegenius maybe).. -- Are you familiar at all with Avanquest (aka VCOM)??

You posted it on a public forum, whether me or anyone else specifically is average or not is irrelevant because plenty of average gamers will see that link to what they are being told (accurately or otherwise, that is irrelevant) is a solution to the lag currently making their game impossible to play and will either blindly click the script if they have no sense of caution or will refrain from attempting anything on that page and will simply give up on either that specific thing or the entire game. Those people, which there are more of then you would expect, are the reason why the devs are supposed to work these things out so average gamers don't HAVE to step outside their comfort zone with their expensive piece of technology that they don't fully understand and likely want very much not to accidentally break. Whether there is any chance of that actually happening with any given case is irrelevant.
You are required (unless you have parental permission) to be 18 years of age to play Mabinogi. ~ Stop acting like we are in preschool.
No, I HAVE corrected it on my end. I really dont lag terribly badly. The whole point of all this, as I keep trying to say, is that not everyone has that option be it because of their own comfort level with system tweaks, their region, or whatever other limitations they may have. If you're wondering why im so adamant about this if it doesnt impact me personally its because you're wrong, and it does. It may not impact me directly, but the game being in this state with content this hard thats impossible to make easier means less people will play it in the longrun and it will only maintain its reputation for horrible unmanagable lag and multitudes of unfixed bugs. If the game gets less players and maintains its bad reputation resulting in even less players still, the game might eventually go the way of NA Grand Chase or EU Mabinogi and close, forcing em to start over at the very least. I like this game and would like it to be around for as long as possible, and it would be able to do that much more effectively if the devs would pull their heads from their collective asses and either make the content so ti can be done with lag or spruce up the netcode so the lag isn't so much of a problem for people who are computer illiterate.
