Urgently Change your Approach SE

The kind of game you want doesn't exist in modern MMOs anymore. Accept it.

There are still hardcore obtuse mmos! :P

Is it really the servers or the crappy state of the north american internet that's the real problem? I lean to the internet being the source of most peoples problems, but many people don't understand how the internet works and they don't know how to diagnose their problems properly.

Size and position matters in larger areas, and time of implementation - not saying our ISPs are not blood thirsty bums but if SE wanted to give me 20ms connections they could have not chosen a distance about equal to what I already had lol. My connection to Japan was about the same as to Canada's top right, I'm on the west coast (~100 to ~100 lol). East coast friends went from ~130 to ~20 though.... lucky.. kupo nuts.

Edit: to make it more obvious I'm not mad at SE, 100ms is good - I dodge Weight of the Land no problem without having to "pre-dodge" it (although at the start of ARR servers were over loaded so.. that was kind of hard lol, but every MMO I've played has had that). Mostly I wanted to point out that when a system was implemented, how big the system is, and location of server in relation to all that speed issues - because of the location choice their NA server made no difference in ping, which I laughed at but am not flipping any tables for.

Didn't realize you were the center of the universe. My bad.

Did not say I was, neither did I say SE was terrible for doing it. I even laughed and made a joke of being jealous of my eastern friends, no need to be rude ;(
