Even though on my screen i'm moving out in time, 99.9% you still get hit, something definitely can't be right, it feels broken at the moment.
I'm also playing from Australia, Sth Australia to be exact.

Wondering whether your problem might be due to playing on a NA based server. Generally speaking you should get a better ping from JP, unless you've got a shitty isp which connects to JP through NA ^^.

I had the problems outlined by the OP during beta when I spent a little time on a NA server. I don't have the same trouble playing on a JP server. Well, except that
- some players still have an ever so slight advantage to tagging mobs over me in FATEs (I think they're JP based so, makes sense) and
- my logging/mining action is delayed a few milliseconds longer than others.

But I haven't had any troubles getting out of the mob's telegraphed AoE, or getting PGL positioning bonuses, etcetera, since I finished trialing that NA server.

Is kind of weird to hear NA/EU players having such trouble syncing with NA/EU servers considering I would expect their connections to be shorter with better infrastructure.
