Mods already watch for cheaters, and shaving a second off doesnt really make that much difference. It wont revamp the game. I suggest we start a thread in this forum with ideas for new features or updates we can add. Lets make a check list of things, and get them sorted. 

But for now I think the delay is set at a reasonable interval.

Sure it won't make that much of a change or vamp but it will for the people who attack. It will make it easier to do NPC's I hate seeing that error message too and I'm sure everyone does.

The stupid delay, since day 1, has limited the growth potential of this game.

It's a total turn off! Find a different way to catch cheaters and let the rest of us play without the wait.

It's not entirely about catching cheaters I'm afraid. A big reason for the wait is that a lot of players will have a slower connection due to being further away from the server. The wait time helps to even things out, giving each player roughly the same potential for growth. It's not perfect by any means, but it does help a great deal. 

Personally, I would love for the delay to be lifted as well (especially since I am fairly close to the server so I can go a lot faster than most) but I understand the need for it.

I've never heard of a game that does this. The delay would be minimal anyway, and the wait for attacking benefits the few over the many.
