This will be brief because I'm running late (as always) but here's the question:

I just read on one of the threads about encounters being tested in Japan with a 30ms ping. (Don't know if it's true or not, for the sake of the question, let's assume it is.)

Since it's almost a guarantee they won't fudge current mechanics now that they've been established, do you think that now after hearing the lag complaints about people with slower internet connections and the inability to beef them up that they will tune encounters with a different connection speed?

AND if they do, what will the the ratio be of people saying "Thank you!" versus "Omg you NERFed yourselves *hate*"?

Other than using a proxy service (which I have no ideas about!), IS there a way to fix this and keep the balance?
