Dragging your window does nothing at all that would make it worth someone doing as an attempt to cheat anymore.
Windowdragging used to cause you to appear to continue running forwards to anyone else in the area, if stuck to you they would still follow and be able to hit you until..... you let go of the window, then you would snap back to the position you were at when you started to drag the window (appearing to teleport). This was used by a lot of cheaters/abusers as a way for getting a tank train off of themselves.

This doesn't work anymore however. Now, as soon as you start to drag the window you stop moving. You no longer continue to run forwards, and hence you no longer port back when you stop again. You just stand still for the entirity of the time you are dragging the window, making you an easy target.

In other words, it does nothing that can be abused anymore.

If he was jumping about the place then it was lag. If you were stuck to him and getting "Target not in view" then he was strafing. Afaik neither of those are exploits at the current time. :p Though a lot of people see strafing as being lame etc.
