But it didn't improve things for pretty much everyone. I asked one of my linkshells and my FC how they faired since the switch and only about 6 of them said they felt more responsive, there was about 30+ people online when I asked this and got a response from about 22 of them. The 16 that didn't favor it were mostly east coast and Midwest players, only 1 was from Washington and somehow pinged in the mid 100s though he suspected it was something on his end. SE overall goofed on this but really it should have been expected given their track record.
