Instead of trying work arounds they need to just cough up some money and actually put more back into this game, but I am sure they are sitting there thinking that with almost all mmo's subscriptions will drop after the first year, so they may not have enough servers now, but in 6 months time if subs drop, it may be more than sufficient then. To me there is no excuse for this, they have made more than they thought they would, and they still try to coax people out of $48 more a year on retainers, but what can you expect, it is SE, and their greed runs deep.
I agree 100% with this. Lag and DCing have been a hardware issue since the relaunch and it will continue to be an issue until SE puts more money into new/more servers.
