Good news the game clients has a "hide effects of other players" option which can help tremendously with lag. It is under the video settings, bottom right.

yeah shame it is preety bad, needs to be upgraded imo to be able to remove weapon glow, atleast of other players aswell as hiding effects like cammelia flower and mother earths fountain, just 2 laggy skills from druid, other then that the function works nicely.

because of the widespread abuse with removing doors and triggers and other stuff.

it was never "official" but it was "yeah noone minds" until the abuse version of the model folder (the whole things was intially called "RemoveSpellEffects") became very widespread then it was officially declared as bannable.

Another example: There is a broken quest in the last boss room of Bethomia. (Boss 7 room). Broken in the sense, that the item only spawns on a table in that room - but only on easy mode. Yet, as there is no boss6+7 on easy mode the door after boss5 never opens. But we had quite an amount of people who completed that quest ... what a coincidence.

How the hell is it an unfair advantage? Is "not lagging" considered an unfair advantage now? Let's ban all the people with great computers then. It's only an unfair advantage when it's used to delete walls.

Basically, if it's only used to take out spell effects that cause lag, it doesn't give an unfair advantage, and so shouldn't be bannable.

It doesn't really matter what you use it for or why - it violates the ToS and can result in a game ban.

Well the first time I heard of the model folder was as a fix to the warden buff that would instantly crash everyone in siege. I'd say that was a very valid reason to use it, as siege was unplayable if a single warden decided to use their buff. I recall the folder being openly disussed in the forums and used by a large number of people. It was literally the only solution to the problem, since the developers didn't do anything for a very very long time.

No one had a problem with it until people started removing barriers. That pretty much killed it as a legit workaround.

Also, how about adding more options to remove effects in game, that's a win/win for everyone.

I don't see how any argument to allow them is valid...
