As far as I know, it does happen in Blade and Soul, Diablo III as well as Tera. You could be well out of the red and still get hit in Blade and Soul and to be honest, it was a pain to play Tera getting hit half the time even thou you blocked. I ended up switching to another ping friendly class. It is not true to say only FF XIV ARR suffers from this problem.

And YoshiP needs a reality check if he truly wants this game to go international. People living in SEA,Oceania,UAE,Russia and many more will face pings of up to 300 or more.
