I always lol at the "get better internet and rig" comment.
Sure you can upgrade your connection and machine, but you cannot overcome the distance to the server....packets only travel so fast.

In my case I have a pretty good 50mb connection, and a 1 year old top end (by then) rig way above the recommended requirements by the game and I also use WTfast premium with the customized tunneling.....but I still live 9000kms away from the server.....and that's not going to change.
With all that, I get a constant 170-200ms to the server.
Even if I upgraded my connection to 100mb....I would still live 9000kms away from the server and wound't get low pings.

In before the excuse becomes "well, move to the U.S. so you can game, problem solved"
