Something really fishy is going on here.
When the SRL began, I WON my third ever race on a basic 140 sparrow.
So why is it, that since then I can't even finish a race, and always crash!? I've also noticed that the winner is almost exactly 30secs ahead of me at the end of the race. I've taken part in almost 100 races so far, but can count on one hand the amount of times I've actually finished a race. Surely, I haven't suddenly gone from being good enough to win, to so crap I can't even finish!?
Upon further investigation, I've been monitoring the players' internet connections by looking at the lobby roster. I've noticed that the players with a low red bar (poor internet connection) always finish 1st or 2nd place. Why is this? Surely, someone with a sub-standard internet connection should [b]NOT[/b] have such an advantage.
The "poor connection" bug also applies to the Crucible. In fact, it's reached the point where I can predict which players will do well in a match (SRL or Crucible) simply by seeing who has the worst connection!! They always win!
Surely this is not only absurd, it is totally unfair. I have paid to have the best wired fibre-optic internet available (200MBps cable), so why should I be at such a ludicrous disadvantaged? I'm sick of these players who "piggy-back" on someone else's internet service, or exploit it in some other way, only to ruin the game for us all!
Is anyone else having the same issue?
EDIT: I am so crap that even after all these races, I've only just reached rank 1. I should get a booby prize for worst player!! Ha Ha! Ha!
