I thought you meant the confusion with existing players who already know how to lagshoot rather than the confusion for new players. These should be recognized as two separate problems.

One is about people like you and me who are familiar with lagshooting / lead aiming. We will get confused because we don't know what mode the server is in. This is resolvable via your suggestion, but I don't know if the average SA-MP player will understand what legacy mode is.

The other confusion is new players who never even find out what lagshooting is and leave because they are constantly killed and are no match for lagshooters.

Servers with legacy mode on are gonna be the hardcore players that have been playing for years anyways. To be honest if it is disabled in a later version I see most people moving to 3z RC4 anyways also if you're going to post a "Communities that are against legacy mode" I can post a much longer list of "Communities that are FOR legacy mode". Also notice how your list will be only filled with RP servers, while mine would be filled with DM servers only.

The difference being that in the long term the SA-MP community suffers in player count due to your servers enabling legacy mode. Whereas if you just accept the change and move with us (which you would have to do eventually anyway, it's just a matter of getting used to it) we would not lose potential players due to this bug as we have been doing for years.

I've already explained this in several replies to several people, but here you go:

The average SA-MP player plays on more than one server and newer players try out several servers before they finally settle somewhere. I want to take this opportunity for SA-MP to gain more players rather than losing new potential players.

If a new player comes in and quits because of this bug (which many have over the years) then all of SA-MP loses a player, because that could have been a potential player for any of us. Do you want this community to grow or to lose potential players?
