Has anyone else LOL'd at the fact that "trackball mouse" is to blame for this exploit? Lol. This is 2011. Not 1998. We don't use trackball mouses anymore. Maybe your grandmother does, but 99.9% of the world who is up to date with the rest of the universe has a laser mouse, not to mention, a trackball would just slow down your "exploiting", because you'd most likely break a wheel inside of the mouse moving it around so fast.

You can't turn that fast normally with mouse...faster then a client can keep up even with /face

Someone doesn't know how to use a high dpi mouse properly or counter circle strafing either.

There are players that exploit the game mechanics?

your a smart one...

he doesnt mean a regular oldstyle mouse with a ball under it....

he means a http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=logitech+track+ball&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF- 8&cid=7422554083509466827&sa=X&ei=qMNrTYHyK5HAsAO_iuWmBA&ved=0CDMQ8wIwAg#

trackball ....

and it doesnt matter... a high DPI laser mouse can move just as fast as a track ball.

You can also use programs that greatly increase the sensitivity at the push of a button. I know how to counter it and I have many times before with a side stun but some do it so fast you just CANT

Never had it happen in DAoC but saw it alot in AoC, learned how to counter it but it became very annoying, even if I had liked the game I would have quit just for that.

...complaining about this? you realize that the caster can't do anything useful while doing this right...
