If your ping has gone up, lower it with this one weird trick! Rangers hate him!

Rather than post about quitting on the forums, just try some VPN services, guys.

Mudfish and Battleping are two off the top of my head. I'm sure there are others that can help with this game. Just find one that lowers your ping.

Edit: Autocorrect screwed up my title. It should say "Ragers". I hate my phone. ;_;

How do I do that playing on PS4?

By buying a PC. :P

Sorry, but that's one of the limitations you sign up for on console. :/

Pingzapper is another good service.

Been using it forever to play FFXIV. Even though servers had been in Montreal and I live in the middle of the east coast, the game was literally unplayable due to ISP shenanigans.

You can use a VPN service directly from your router if you're on PS4

If I can subtract the price for the VPN from my subscription, or SE pays the VPN subscription for me, fine. Otherwise, no cookie.

So I have to pay extra to get decent ping again?

Look on the bright side: At least the service is not on the mog station.

So would one simply set the VPN to connect to a US server?

Well, that drops it from 180 ms to 167...

This.
Pingzapper, WTFast and every other VPN tunnel only really helps with routing and/or masking. The distance is still a thing. You might get a few ms due to a different routing or less hops, but if there is an ocean and a whole continent between you and your destination... that simply won't change.
