Okay, look here. First of all, lag has not been that bad? Ticks per second fell to five yesterday afternoon. FIVE. Pretty sure lag that severe was also what was causing LWC to flip its lid at the same time. And hoppers were one of the highest sources of lag on the the timings. Second, sorters and most other hopper mechanisms work fine - I built my guardian farm's sorter under the triple item setting and the only issue was getting too many drops too quickly, as is standard for a guardian farm at full capacity - the only ones that can no longer be precise are hopper clocks that needed to be exact to the second, and usually such precision can be achieved with repeaters anyway. Much more clumsy, yes, but most machinery can still work fine using some alternate design. Third, hopper carts are available chiefly because without them, some item collection systems actually become less efficient due to needing additional redstone to operate, as well as the fact that some people find themselves inclined to use stupidly huge hopper sheets instead despite the rules forbidding them, so we went with the lesser of two evils. Fourth, your attempts at a threat are very much not appreciated - should you create rapidly pulsing machinery that needs to be frequently active, that would find you in violation of server rules, which we can enforce by simply dismantling the machine in question, and further action if necessary.

We've tried our best to accommodate varied general gameplay and the needs of redstoners as much as possible. We have only arrived at the decision to reinstate the anti-lag settings after trying, in vain, for several WEEKS to remove the lag via other means.
