Surge warping was indeed an exploit. Notice the first word of that "Surge"...so if Surge warping is the exploit, then the fix will entail fixing either the warping or the surge. Since, for whatever reason, the devs do not feel they can adequately fix the netcode, which they have already tried (and before anyone goes there...not a single person on this board has any idea of how the PS engine REALLY works on a statement level) that means fixing warping is out for at least the time being. Hence, the only viable alternative means trying to do something to Surge, which is what has been done at least until a more permanent solution is available.

I have no problem with the Surge implant, if people want to use it more power to them. In the days immediately after the LLU was released, I loved that implant to death, I just found others that suited my style more. What I have a problem with is people who use it gain an unfair combat advantage through the exploitation of a known bug. Please do not try to confuse my position on the matter.

Surge = fine until it causes problems. It is causing problems, even if it's not directly the implant's fault...hence, Surge needs to be fixed as the core issue appears to be beyond current capabilties.
