I have been off and on this game for a while and it is currently my favourite game. I have had year long breaks from this but I have never decided to quit because of the "exploits".

Torn Banner have seen dragging and have provided a hint in the loading screen for how to do it. This is quite huge because it shows us that Torn Banner have decided that this is okay. No game is realistic and fun games shouldn't try to, that's why this is a fun game.

These drags never made me want to quit, but made me decide to GET BETTER

This is a game that actually makes you train; you get trained by other members of the community on duel yard servers, you get trained by yourself on an unsuspecting tree, you get trained on 3vs3 servers. Most high-level players are friendly in this game and will teach you if asked.
