1x1 Farms crash players that are not using the same cheat.
Please explain how that does not fit the bill of Ddos... and it isn't the only Ddos being used.

Here's how I see it. You say that bugs like 1x1 farms being accepted, or at least tolerated, by devs and community now means that DDOSing server would be accepted all the same.

Real world analogy - tolerating using loop holes in law to avoid paying some taxes means that you can as well plant bombs under government buildings

From what I know it's not the farms alone crashing the game for others. It's the amount of them. Most likely you would be able to achieve the same effect without modified client.

Also, problem is totally different from DDOS. Unless you count running out of memory or VGA card not handling extra geometry as a DDOS attack? Seriously?

Cept they don't.
If someone have 100 farms in 10x10 area (1x1 farms) its same as you would render 100 farms of 4x4. Foliage(crops) is generated same way.

Just like its not the packets sent to webpages alone.... its the amount of them to ddos a webpage?

Cept they don't.

You might want to read the threads of people actually abusing it.

So .... having a million bots hammer salems webpage with request to download images and running out of bandwidth to reach webpage isn't a Ddos?

DDoSing is not bug using. It can, however, be achieved through the means of bug using. Use the terminology properly.

sigh...

In case of DDOS amount of packets is artificially bloated.
In case of farm problem it's not. It's not the amount of packets, it's your PC not handling the amount of farms.

Modified client only lowers geometry needed for each farm, so they take less resources.

Do I really have to waste time and seeds to make a place with 100 farms using standard client to prove my point?

eidt: Also, if you DDOS the server then game crashes for everyone. If you spam fields in an area then it will cause problems only for people with weaker machines in that particular location

I thought we were discussing farm problem? How did we jump into hammering salem webpage?
