That's mostly player perception, e.g. the players are idiots. Ping of 350 is not bad at all in this game, nor are the proxies. Played with them both just fine many, many times.
Actually when i played 350+ Ping was bad ... if i saw that me and the person were connected.
Now if they were connected threw a proxy ... u kno saw the (Proxied) 350 isn't bad.
Most people have no idea how the internet works. They see the ping and think it is what it is. But if they are going threw a proxy i understand they might have to go very far to hit the proxy than bounce to me (hence the lag .. but i bet if they were directly connected to me they would ping ~150ish).
Ppl need to learn 2 internet is all. Until then OP i think ur screwed
