    Ping does have an impact on performance- it's not *just* the server system, though it does exacerbate the issue.

    Location is not suddenly a non-issue because of technology advances. Pings to the other side of the world are never going to reach the level of a ping to a localized area. It is an issue, it was an issue, and it will be an issue in the future.

    There is a significant difference between a 50 ping and a 250 ping.

    Exactly, if it's a well optimized system ping won't have an effect on performance versus a horribly optimized system. It's generally only shooters where you want to make sure ping is at a good level, MMOs have breathing room by design to deal with more varying ranges of pings.

    Except that any latency you are experiencing from location will be exactly the same whether you are in a high-activity area or a low-activity area, and thus has no baring on the discussion at hand.
