Millisecond timing in charts still doesn't exist on R^3 yet -- it does exist in offsetting for the purpose of machines that occasionally have issues with offsets that "fall in between frames", but the placement of frames themselves do not scale appropriately to proper frames (for example: a 0-framer that happens for a note that is > ~16.6 ms doesn't change in spacing at 60 FPS, despite having enough precision for something like that).

I am in agreement with having rate mods not record, for precisely the same reasons you have (and OWA had); I said pretty much the same things in this thread a bit earlier. It does make the game easier for those who lack the patience and control on very slow files (I mean, come on -- who wouldn't want to rate mod easy files if it guarantees half of the time spent?). However, there comes a point where it might be worthwhile to put aside the personal dislikes about being forced to do something a certain way when it's beneficial for the game as a whole (referring to recoloring of Legacy files). I, along with a lot of the forum community that is well ranked, has dealt with the Legacy files for a long time. I personally do not feel like newer users should have to deal with that as well. Besides, with that current reasoning, frame fixes would technically be something that some players might not benefit from (and there is an active movement to get that to happen as well).

It sucks, but I think that 10 year old charts that are far below the standard of acceptable quality now really should be re-colored (or discarded altogether).
