I have three set ups here that can all play the game. A very good gaming rig, a vaio laptop I use for work and a PS3. Whatever I play on yields the same issues. Tell me that the issue is my geographic position and fine, but that will not cut it as a solution "Sorry you cannot progress you do not live next door to the server" will not cut it for a lot of players. My connection is very very good and always has been on the long list of MMOs I play who's servers are located all around the world.

Even if the issue was PS3 holding the game back what percentage of players do you think play on ps3? They aren't going to be able to ignore it if thats the issue.
