Physics in Roblox works on the client-side; the person closest to a block will control it's physics. When another person walks closer to that blocks than the previous person, the block teleports between 2 predicted paths of each client. This ruins competitive sports, such as Soccer and Basketball. This renders projectile guns useless. This causes glitches and confusion when a large building is falling down and it begins to shake between its 2 predicted paths.

Please send this forward to whom it may concern, as it is making Roblox less fun in many people's eyes.

So your saying that clients are telling the server how the blocks moves? Oh dear, this means there is a possibility of hacking to move a non-anchored brick with incorrect physics prediction..

I've seen this for many years now.

Roblox doesn't seem phased by it, but it can deeply affect gameplay (both negatively and positively).

Roblox does not control its physics engine, they can not influence how it acts.
