Why the netcode issue exists, and why it cannot be fixed.

Instead of having europe servers being in canada, why not have the europe servers in... EURROPEEE!?!?!?!? :O WHOOAAA

and how exactly is that going to fix anything? did you even read the OP? the DISTANCE is not what is causing the latency. your connection will STILL be 'bad' even if the server is in your country. if the problem was the lines underneath the atlantic ocean then that would mean the following:

a) people from NA would not have any issues
b) everyone from EU would have the issues

neither is the case.

That is simply incorrect.

Latency is directly proportional to distance. European servers would vastly improve the situation for Europeans.

latency can have different issues. distance is one of them, yes. however, the ping to Montreal for me are better than they are to the european (!) servers for SW:TOR for example. I play on a US server (ping ~180 to 200 usually), and I never ever have any issues with dodging (and timewise it's often a lot shorter in that game). I play tsw on a server located in NA, too. lots of aoe to dodge, no problems except 'derp'.
I play PS2 relatively competative on a US server. I know my legitimate server distance lag.

ARR?
not a chance. a ping of 120-140 does NOT cause this latency. people with a ping of 20 (!!!) have the same issues that I have.

european servers would not 'vastly' improve the issues, but be a waste of money SE should spend on actually changing the system. they need any penny/cent for it.

Where are these people with 20ms ping complaining about the issues?

As for your comparisons to SWTOR, I call bull.

Meet Gravehill:

I live 2 - 3 hours drive from the city that the server is in, I get 20 ping with no packet loss and i have 1+ second delay on every movement. Casts are fine, but stuff like jumping and moving has a huge delay. All of my friends who are on different ISPs have the same problem. I can mount while running.

His post is just above.

There is no way he has that issue. Unless he posts a video with him mounting whilst running and his ping alongside, that is just not happening.
