That's an entirely different issue. I'm not here to discuss RP vs DM servers.

To say it doesn't make a difference with or without legacy mode is just ridiculous. There are many enjoying the advantages of being a better lagshooter or having their ping and/or FPS in their advantage. These people will have a much harder time trying to be Rambo if there's no lagshooting / lead aiming.

It's not conflicting at all. For one it's inconsistent and will cause confusion with both old and new players, but the bigger issue is that new players who come to try out SA-MP might quit if servers enable legacy mode; simply because they're no match for experienced lagshooters, don't know how to lagshoot or don't even know they need to lagshoot. We've already lost players for years due to this bug, so why would should we lose even more players to it?

(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.

Whatever it is it's definitely a bug, a flaw, a mistake and something that is broken and has cost SA-MP players. It's unfair to say the least.

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.

I meant that theoretically. If there was no legacy mode and you decided to stay on 0.3x then you would have to move eventually. I explained in my first post why that is. Just like everyone else here I have absolutely no idea whether it will be kept or removed.
