OK I'm convinced there is a way to crash peoples client. I have had it happen 3 times now, at those times it was the only time I didn't need a client crash.

So the last time it happend, I've almost killed this thief, suddenly my client crashes. I reconnect and he's legged it and some other guy is trying to loot me.

I mention that someone must be crashing my machine, of course the thief who I was attacking thinks I'm accusing him. So I've called a smurf, and he's called a smurf.

The smurf arrives and I get sh1t from him telling me not to be spamming the bank accusing someone of using Bugs. I hadn't. So eventually he realises that (and realises the other guy is a moron).

He tells me that my machine settings are incorrect. So I asked did he just scan my machine. He didn't reply, so I asked again, he still wouldn't reply (which incidently means yes. Counselors are told to ignore questions if they shouldn't answer them).

I get some crap about my gfx setting being too high which is causing the crashes when I run. So I asked how is it one of those times I was standing still, and my machine hasn't changed in over a month and yet suddenly now its not working?

Walked out on the smurf at that point. >
