Apparently ArenaNet's bots started autobanning people who uses VPNs due to false positives? Heard a lot of news of those being affected, including my own guild leader. They submitted their appeal, and probably will get their accounts back soon, but this just feels like a middle finger up our asses from them, since in certain replies, they mentioned that they do not sanction the use of VPNs. Alright, understandable, but in certain cases, it's the only way we could even get into the game in the first place, especially for us in the east. 1.5k ping is nothing, I have had ping spikes of up to 12k, EVEN with VPN, and waypointing back after being defeated sometimes takes 2 minutes in the worst of times. I probably am truly done with this game, at least for a few weeks. With the new LW chapter coming soon, many PvE players will be returning for a bit, which may make the lag situation even worse than it is. And seeing how the devs are not willing to elaborate on the reasons why these people got banned in the first place when asked, it just feels that they don't care anymore, or no longer capable of maintaining the WvW mode. I'm just glad I found a passion project to fill up the void left by this formerly beautiful game xD

I think the main key is you will only lag at your local night time. But yeah, ever since the new patch dropped, the lag was unbearable during my nighttime. Exitlag won't even run, and neither ProtonVPN nor Mudfish could mitigate the issue much. Ironically, during reset (or CST night-time), I have no lag at all, since that's my morning. Yet a few of my NA peeps are struggling with the same thing I had. I've done everything I can: -repair, fresh reinstall, lowest settings, even uninstalling my antivirus software, nothing worked. So yeah, anyone from Malaysia is fucked for now, we'll have to wait for either the patch to stabilize or for several patches to fix the patch. Or just wait a few weeks or months. I've told my guild I'm taking a leave from WvW in the meantime; the stress of not being able to perform because of factors outside my control been messing with my mental health severely, that I had a relapse, and no game is worth ruining your health over. I truly wish there's something we could do to fix it on our side, but the ball's outside my court, and probably in ArenaNet's. And you know who they pretend that we don't exist outside of being a steady income from server transfers xD

Thank you for the well-wishes! I did take a secreenshot at the 2010 mark xD About the rank requirement change, I was aware of the change in requirement from rank 2k to 500 for the legendary chest piece, and for a while I was sorta mad about it since I was at 1.7k when that happened, which means I have been grinding for years for nothing. But in the end, I feel like the 2k mark is more of a personal goal now more than anything, so I stuck on with it. > @"Luthan.5236" said: > But first there is soo much other stuff to do in PvE. Yeah, there's too many things you can do in PvE. Like, overwhelmingly many. So many things that are possible to farm, I don't think 24 hours a day is enough to cover them all if you are really going for it. Hence why I have abandoned all things PvE other than maybe Central Tyria mapping and a few AB meta here and there, and focus exclusively on WvW. Especially after the spoiler stories first in Lake Doric, then Drizzlewood Coast or whatever that charr place name is. Still miffed at how stupid the story turns out to be there. At least WvW only has a few things that you can work on, and seeing how ANet pretends that we don't exist, I can just take a break for a few weeks, come back in, and see not much has changed.
