Actually, in as much as firewalls can and sometimes do cause problems with some connections on Dyna, I have found more problems with people that have known issues with certain modems, and especially people with KNOWN router issues. I have virtually never crashed out with someone in a 1v1 Dyna, even when that person has connections issues with nearly everyone else (shin for example before he got cable). I have however had drops when some people get drafted who have router or other issues.
Do having firewalls off help? Sure it can.
Do Routers cause more problems than firewalls? I bet they do.
Are both correctable? yes------->unfortunately they are not both easily correctable. One merely needs a single turn off, the other often requires downloads and a lot of resets of settings that most people who have comps are unable to either understand or do.
In a perfect gaming world these issues would be non-issues. Here, they count. As per having admins forcibly drop players from flying due to having possible issues right from day 1, well that will obviously force a few more pilots off dyna(due to the boot) and quite likely a couple more just because of the boot. If an admin gives the boot to a known problem pilot with connectivity issues during a dyna after fair warning, ok, but if he is going to threaten to boot immediately reguardless, that will have a negative effect on the community as there are so few of us left.
Just my 1.72 Canadian cents.
