Red Ring of Death!

[Blimbeard]

It's true to say that there has been some confusion and ambiguity over this whole issue, and that some other lag and connection related problems are being blamed on SE where they are not at fault. Obviously some peoples issues are related at least in part to their own setup / connectivity.

However, when it comes to the actual main issue at hand, as clarified by several people in this and other threads, it is COMPLETELY,BLINDINGLY AND PAINFULLY obvious to anyone with some understanding of how online gaming client/server systems work and even non techie people that have played a lot of MMO or other online games, that there is a significant problem with ARR with regard to it's netcode. However much you might want to bury your head in the sand, you cannot reasonably ignore the ample evidence that no other MMO on the market has these issues, and it is absurd to suggest that players should shell out for VPN services and such to compensate for issues that every other MMO provider has managed to eliminate, especially when there is no guarantee that this will solve their issue.

I would urge people such as the OP to swallow their pride, look at the logical facts of the matter and stop posting threads like this that are ultimately damaging the game they are trying to defend by making excuses that will cost SE subscribers and damage the longevity and qualiy of ARR.
