People using tools to do certain actions too fast get disconnected now. It shouldn't affect legitimate players.

can't you guys detect good enough yet to ban rather than just disconnect them?

They're not necessarily cheating - they're just doing too many requests and we can't sustain that for long (as it uses a lot of resources). As I said, we don't expect that legitimate players will be affected, but people who are kicked aren't necessarily doing anything bannable.

An example is if you get a big lag spike and certain actions arrive all at once. They might be the type of actions that now cause a disconnection.
