Or at least they use to. Mods led or mingled with every top squad back from 2001-2010 (or longer) whose members employed some of the most blatant cheats out there. Then, they covered it up relentlessly for years claiming its all a conspiracy or just lag or noobs complaining hah. I don't know who would be stupid enough to enter TWL or the leagues and spend 99% of their time trying to differentiate between euro lag which keeps them barely under the lag limits or outright cheating which magnifies the rotation of the ship so blatantly and/or other aspects which you can't dodge or anticipate a bullet because it already hits you as their ship rotates.
Either way, the leagues are zombied in perpetuity due to staff's and mods prior cheating sprees. There is zero trust in the leagues, at least applying my personal perception from the last 12-13 years and discussions with other casual players.
A good starting point a few years ago to try and earn back trust in the leagues would've been to monitor cheating closely and see how some can bypass lag limits and what they are using. Another good starting point to earn back trust would've been to split up the uncomfortable mingling between mods/staff and those "vets" who cheated prior, who seem to run the top 5 squads in TWL every year to pad their ego.
Well either way, if the leagues ever recover, It will most likely take all new people who have no idea what went on since day 1.
Well, i warned them in 2006 on these forums of repercussions from their hidden cheating. I told them that it would come back in a big way and rip all or most trust in the leagues alongside their credibility with regard to fairness. Older mods/staff didn't listen as they, themselves, destroyed the leagues slowly but surely.
