I don't use the friends or chat interface, so I'm not sure how anyone would capture my IP, but they are, and using simple IP flooding techniques to lag my game so bad that I can't even enter a battle because I time out (something like "removed from battle for inactivity"). This is all before I even enter a battle. Also, why am I always directed to server EN7? This seems to be where all of the hackers are. I only use public computers at libraries, but these are excellent computers with excellent connection speeds at the San Diego Central library. I can't see myself spending another penny on a game that I can't even really play.
