I have to entirely agree with this post. The old method of pixel spotting was not working at all. ED is trying to find the right solution as the previous system was simply not sufficient. We need this new system. However, I also completely agree it's not perfect yet, but it's getting there. The main point is that we need to help ED test this feature to find the best of both worlds. We do not want massive blobs in the sky, but we cannot have pixels on our screens that I might mistake for a piece of dust on my monitor.
However, if servers disable this feature altogether (especially popular ones) then the point of testing this feature in a BETA will be gone. Servers should be enabling these settings for the sake of being beta version servers that can make the game better for all. Frankly, if players consider this feature a cheat then get out of the beta. We need players and servers that contribute to the development of this game and not whine about incomplete beta features.
