3. run-aways... well, besides tacking your head to the desk, there isn't much i can do to improve your play style. considering the wall-of-text, i imagine you to be a massive masher. so... it's on the list (funny how i can play for hours with no run-aways, but then again, i'm not a masher)
I played all day long my last weekend, running instances like crazy and I got not even one runaway the whole time ... I put shift+WASD / alt+WASD and strg+WASD on the blacklist
-> works just fine, for me.

my time is limited. as is, i don't get to play much... instead putting that time into support and coding. i do what i can, improving the software the best that i can as i go.
And you're doing a hell of a job rob! I'm sure almost everybody will agree with me here.
