You've lost more potential SA-MP players due to RP servers having shitty or no tutorials where people just spawn and run around for 5 minutes and leave. In servers I play on new players will quit because they're getting wrecked with or without legacy mode (~4-5 deagle shots in 1 second). The learning curve is high in SA-MP DM. your arguments conflict with each other: in one quote you say "new players try multiple servers before they finally settle somewhere", in another quote you say "Players will quit SA-MP after playing on only your server with legacy mode enabled".

you like to refer to it as a "bug". even if we agree and say yes it is a bug. you talk as if saying its a bug immediately denounces it. some bugs work in favor of the game, or it's competitive scene. for example: in Halo 2 there was a bug that let you shoot much faster with the Battle Rifle and it was used in every competitve enviroment in Halo 2. (or one of the halo games - i can't remember) The same situation exists in SA-MP with CBug. SA-MP wouldn't dare patch that.

Also you kind of hinted that legacy mode will be removed eventually. How do you know that? Can you see the future? Deprecated features can stay around for a long time. especially with the slow SA-MP updates. I don't see legacy mode being removed, but I suppose it would depend on the number of servers using it.
