Ok, seriously, this has gone far enough. AutoPhaser? Client ability to override server FeaturePackets? With the recent deprecation of RSA an admins ability of blocking clients is limited without server changes; changes which a rogue client developer can trivially bypass in any event. This type of crap with Bill has been going on for far too many years now; this needs to be dealt with once and for all. Feature packets exist so admins can limit client abilities on their servers and present an even playing field. What makes Bill think he is above the law (per sae) and has the ability of doing whatever it is he wants?
