My ping went from 120 to 200.
I am so upset about this whole thing. I still can't believe it's actually happening.

The thing is I would normally just move to EU and forget all about this.
However, my SO is in the US and if I make him move to EU he wouldn't get to enjoy the game. (he tested it and got around 250-300 ms on EU server). And if I stay then I would be the one who wouldn't get to enjoy the game.
We both preordered Stormblood and have been excited to play together. Now I honestly don't know what to do and it's killing me inside that things went the way they did.

I know that people keep saying that the game is playable at 220ms or less, but it just isn't enjoyable. I used to be able to pull off 6 Ruin IIIs during DWT every single time, and now I barely make it to 5. Attempting to go for 6 almost always results in losing DWT...it just feels bad and not fun at all.
