When building the multiplayer API, two forms of network communications were introduced: RPCs to call functions remotely, and RSETs to set variables remotely. This seemed like a good idea at the time: RSETs were a fast way to prototype, and easily make your game networked… or were they? Removing RSETs. Second, performances are bad!
