titan hard (hard for high latency)

First off I'll have to apologize as I misread the names and saw your pictures were almost identical, so I thought you guys were actually the same person; my bad.

Now I never said it was okay for to have high latency, and if this was the impression I gave, then you'll have to forgive me because it is definitely not the impression I meant to give. Unfortunately, you are not the only person to be affect by this issue, so if my posts seem to be directly aimed at you, again, you'll have to forgive me, because they simply aren't. I am glad YOU are looking into other avenues to better your gaming experience, but the overall impression from the quote unquote European player base has been, as I stated, "FF14 and SE suck because they didn't set up an EU data centre! It is 2013 and they should know better, not make mistakes, and have data centres world wide". This is clearly very generalized to what is no doubt a large player base, and in all honesty, could be applied to any 'disadvantaged' group.

Also, the JP servers we have at the moment is the best thing Australian players have ever gotten. I don't believe it it the developers that are the problem in this situation, but the country itself. There was something that someone mentioned awhile ago which goes into things deeper, but on the base level hosting in Australia is stupid expensive so it simply is not practical from a business stand point. SWTOR had Australian servers for a month or two and had to shut them down. Admittedly they screwed up and released them a couple of months after the game was released, after everyone had levelled and made friendship groups etc.

Again, I'm not saying it is okay to have latency, nor am I saying that you are one of the generalized 'whiners' that refuse to do anything about it on their end and complain that having more than 100ms completely breaks the game, which incidentally, it doesn't. And as I've mentioned before, and you highlight, it is Square's choice as to what they do, and you (or any other player) have to option to ride it out and see what they do (if anything), or attempt to do something about it that you can employ and control on your end. As I mentioned, WTFast (tunnelling service) has dropped my latency enough that I can get out of Titan's AoEs on my screen, and not be hit, even when I have the "Oh shit that hit me for sure" moments.

I try this but how do i see the difference in ping ?
I ping tested before and my ping was 100 , i ping test after using this program and my ping is still 100

Apparently pinging the ip address doesn't give you your actual latency. If you open up your Task Manager (Alt + Ctrl + Delete) and goto the Performance tab, then click on the Resource Monitor... button, a new window will pop up. Click on the TCP Connections part and it will list everything that is connected to your internet, and the latency for it. When you have WTFast running, you'll see numbers next to WTFast.exe. This will be your latency for FF14 (assuming you loaded it correctly). To see the difference, load FF14 without WTFast and you'll see latency next to ffxiv.exe. I was always under the impression I was on 160 ms because of pinging the server, but in reality it was 260ms+

Also, you guys are definitely within your rights to complain, it is just the people that get so anti about having to do anything to deal with the situation. Maybe I'm a little biased because I live in Australia and it is simply not feesible to have this issue ever fixed any time soon.
