titan hard (hard for high latency)

[Jynxii]

It is an unecessary source of frustration that noone should HAVE to deal with even if they CAN deal with and overcome it.

Entitled much? Some people have been experiencing this kind of stuff for years with nothing getting done about it. The one game EU players don't get 'proper' EU servers, and it becomes the end of the world, FF14 becomes the worst game ever, and no body but Square should have to do anything about it.

I picked up WTFast recently to see if it made a difference (30 day free trial) which took my latency from ~260 to ~160, and haven't been hit by a HM Titan AoE unless I derp and don't move straight away. No, no one should have to pay another monthly subscription to a third party to have better latency, but unfortunately it is the only way I have of reducing it. I don't know if it does anything else, but if I'm able to avoid 99% of AoE's on 160ms, it is clearly possible with <100ms.

This is what gets me; there are avenues available to 'improve' your game, but you'd rather sit back shouting and screaming that it isn't your responsibility, and everyone else should do things to fix the game for you. They are working on the issues, and in the meantime you can either deal with it, do something about it, or just move on. It really is your choice.

Edit: And what exactly is the "MMO" standard? Most of the Pay2Play games have fallen from grace and ended up into force Free2Play setups, and even the mighty juggernaut of WoW is hemoraging subscriptions at a rapid rate (down 54% last I heard). So yeah, if you have the golden standard, please share.
