    You’re on Tonberry, which is the OCE server. I doubt it’s that hard, especially since I’ve seen advertisements posted on here and reddit for English speaking statics on your Data Center.
    Ohhhhh boy. Just how wrong you are. I DO use a VPN.

    You are really uneducated and presumptuous about this, so let me break it down for you.
    I've used Battleping, WTFast, Pingzapper. A subscription based model, which is still use today (Battleping was the most successful).
    A subscription based model, which I have to pay ontop of a FFXIV EURO subscription instead of AUD (for reasons i'll never understand), for less than adequate performance to people paying less.

    Battleping has proven to be the most successful for me personally, but there are still latency issues.
    Latency issues, that while are reduced and allow me to do Extremes and Savages (with some difficulty on certain Savages), still isn't reduced enough to allow Ultimate's to be fees-able given how unforgiving the mechanics can be.

    And I'm not alone. I've attempted to recruit a lot of friends from over Australia to join me in end game raiding.
    Unfortunately, the ones that I managed to convince to push through the ARR waking sands fetch quests, found the game virtually unplayable due to latency (Titan Extreme being a big culprit).

    I hate to tell you this sweetie, but VPN's aren't magic wands that magically make latency disappear.

    You are on a North American data centre, I imagine the most delay you endure is under 50 ms?

    But yeah,"Get a VPN if you’re concerned about your ping".

    You are clearly more inclined to be argumentative than informed. It just robs you of what little credibility you have.
