What would happen if people started hosting games with no gold members, because they have an unfair advantage with WS patch? I guess theres an option to hide gold membership.
As far as I know, the message about different game resolution (not only 16:9) has always been saying that it's going to be a premium-only service soon.
And about monitors, I doubt that anyone buys a new PC or laptop just for AOC. It's just that I find this 16:9 trend ridiculous as much as I do loudness war in commercial audio recordings. Everyone is free to buy or listen to whatever they want, I guess it's just the age we live in.
For non-premium members you will still be able to use the widescreen patch in non-rated games. The widescreen patch is still completely open but the anti-cheat bits required to use it now require premium.

Their excuse was that wide patch makes some "hole" in method of anti cheat protection. Still, is not allowed to me ( or anyone else) to know what is particular "weak point". But I had opportunity to discus with people ( in voobly staff ) who said they found it, and spoke about it in voobly developer forums, whose posts had deleted and moved out of public ( for safety reasons ).
(...) So, limiting resolution on some acceptable size(but still not so big to not represent a kind of advantage), would probably be best solution which would gather most of opinions
If people are putting in the time and energy to create something.. why should they not receive compensation for what they have done?
IF you are good at something.. why do it for free? Do you understand? Whys does there have to be a CASH REWARD for WCL? Because without it... Allot of top players would not bother playing. If they are good at AOC why do it for free? Everyone who is against this is hypocritical. What if you create something in your daily life that people are rewarded by its existence? Would you really want to GIVE it away for free when you could be makin a profit from your invention. And invention that took plenty of time and skill to create.

You ever notice how only the poor people cry about paying for the feature?
Why dont you do something to better yourselves so that you can afford such a feature. Instead of sitting on a forum complaining about how you have to pay for it.
Make money and you can then spend money. Its as simple as that. Or everything would be free in the world.
Voobly didnt invent Widescreen but they are responsible for the patching of the widescreen to the AOC series.
