Yeah, new servers - switch to Amazon? - kinda improved crazy no-reg situation present a few seasons ago, maybe matchmaking became a bit faster because of fewer region servers available, but EMEA / EU central after D3 is totally unplayable because of hackers. Back in the days you could improve situation via going to London, Belguim servers (a bit further from Russia / Asia / Middle East <- regions, countries where hackers are just bluntly obvious)...now though have to go straight to NA EAST = Ping from 40-70 to 120+ but totally agree with Blekerodo it is better than playing vs so many hackers. Sad thing is that I see at least Russians going there as well because NA has known to be per se easier one to play on = can farm even faster with hacks on.
As for Lazlo3o message - I will say only one thing: google some youtube videos about business plan behind free to play games :) and thanks for sponsoring it for us! Appreciated!
