EU server "Done yet"?

[Atoli]

So us EU player's no longer have the lAG handycap and should be elite now

Yes
Emphasis on "should". Try it the way Welsper said. If you had a lot of trouble with lag before, chances are the server location wasn't the main problem. So before you get super happy, check if things actually got noticably better for you.

Tbh the lag "excuse" was often true.
When you clearly stand out of AoE and still get hit by it, it can't physically be your fault.
I used to have these issues in Titan HM, I was clearly out of landslide when it hit, but there was ~10% chance that it would still connect and kill me (which is pretty bad, since I am a healer, and while Titan HM is solo-healable, it's not super easy). Since I started using WTFast to lower my ping from 140-150 to ~100, I haven't got hit by a landslide, but Weight of the Land would still sometimes hit despite being out.

I'm often playing with about 200 or so ping to JP and haven't got hit by landslide since a few runs of practice, if you can't adapt to slightly higher ping then I don't believe you should be using lag as your excuse. 300 ping? Sure, 150-250 ping? Then to be honest you need to move a little quicker.

1) Different humans have different reaction time. You can't expect everyone to move AS SOON AS the AoE shows up.
2) Once again, if you are CLEARLY standing out of the AoE when it hits, then it's physically not possible for it to be your fault.

With a ping of 150 you don't have to move as soon as the AoE shows up, even with 200ish I can manage moving out halfway through. Maybe it's packet loss, in which case WTFast solved that for you. I do play with WTFast and while the ping is quite horrendous without it (TPG routing is just the best) the packet loss is unbearable and is the larger problem.

Which still can be described as "lag".

Guess so, but from what I've heard only a few ISPs suffer from such issues, and I know there are genuine players that always ping it on lag. Back when I played WoW my old raiding guild always had that one guy who pinned all of his mistakes on lag, and when his ping was above 100? Literally everything is the fault of lag to him. There is a reason most people don't believe someone when they claim lag, and that's because it's mostly not the truth and there's no way to verify it unless they post a screencap of them pinging the servers or something.
