A Healer's view of dungeon latency::

[Shug]

With your end or the path you take to get to the servers. Not absolutely with the game itself. Anecdote; I have friends in Hawaii that only have issue with Titan Ex/HM. It's almost always your connection or your setup.

However, if the game moved away from server side checks, everything would be smoother. Like most modern MMOs

Uh, yeah, it is the game itself. They even said that they know about it and are working on it. So it looks like your friend in Hawaii is the exception, not everybody else.
