I am seeing a lot of people without issues, I have personally had no issues with this, logically if the problem was down to SE it would affect everyone, I would in the first instance contact my ISP and tell them the issues, so they can first investigate, all because of the amount of people seeing no issues.

Also as said before I can ping the game servers with 0% packet loss so again perhaps contact your ISP, to see if it's a problem with them.

94ms ping on a 70Mb fiber connection, get a better ISP.

Seriously the problem is NOT SE the problem is ISPs using sub-optimal routes to get to the servers, if I perform a continuous ping I get a constant <100ms ping and 0% packet loss to the game servers on the NA datacenter so how I can get that and others getting 100ms+ to the same datacenter and it all be SE's fault is beyond me.

Seriously find a new ISP and you shall see more improved results than QQin here.

You obviously have no idea how internet networking works, please stop replying.

I can just point out a few things:
1. How many mb you got on your connection has nothing to do with speed, only amount per second.
2. A fiber connection only improves your pingtimes from your home to your ISP, as from there its fiber anyway.
3. Every country has 1 or more main switches that routes all the data from that country, this is something the ISPs have no control over.
4. If you have <100ms latency to Canada, you might be lucky to live in a country that routes the data overseas. If you live north, east or south of those switches, you will have additional latency, again has nothing to do with ISP.

When they are implementing PvP in december, 120+ pingtimes per person is going to be very detrimental to the experience, and I dont even want to think about how positional skills will perform when you add the lag from the position system.

This is only partially true. Your ISP CAN have an affect on how much extra latency you get depending on who they choose to peer with. If they decide to be cheap and choose poor peers, you could bounce all over the place before hitting those switches. Like my ISP here in Colorado, they route the connection to a peer in California, before going all the way over to Montreal. They won't change it either.

Most of these ppl defending Se will come back crying once pvp is live 100% sure

If they can sort the latency issues on the servers, I dont care if it is based in US, JP or EU.
I felt I had much less latency issues when I played on JP servers during Beta, than I do now currently and my server is based in Canada :/

Or they won't because they know why SE made the decision. If SE thought it was worth the money to put servers in the EU, they would have. Not that you'd get them to actually ever say this.

I was talking about Europe in general though, where my point 3. counts as countries over here are individually quite small, the effect you are talking about is negligible. I can see the problem being something else in the US though, as you just said.

new servers is a bit of an overreaction just because you can't avoid weight of the land...
