Red Ring of Death!

Siiigghh. Missing the point entirely...

You are missing this point entirely. If that extra service fixes the problem for many people then it is clearly the ISP or the backbones fault. Yet people like you still blame SE. SE does not own the entire internet and can not be held liable because of a backbone providing crap service. SE can definitely attempt to rectify the situation with the ISP/backbone, but they can not do any more than we personally can. Make a few phone calls and hope they fix it.

If you are attempting to suggest the problem is that the game isn't giving enough time to dodge that's different. They admittedly tuned the game to require you to make split second decisions or you get hit in the face. However, that is a game balance complaint and not a lag or even a .3 second delay debate. People in this thread are not separating those two distinct things, and are instead blurring them together.
