Same problem here, paying so much for this game only to end up with a PvE experience is really disappointing.
We live on Réunion Island and have around 180 ms ping to Europe, which has never been an issue on any game. Our connection is stable, it’s not lag, and it doesn’t affect other players’ gameplay.
We’re automatically placed on South African servers that are mostly full of bots (which is also unfortunate for players there). Community servers exist, but they don’t always provide a standard game experience, and their mode description isn’t always displayed clearly !
Their filtering system is really bad!
Please think of us, we’re gamers too, and we just want to play like everyone else, with everyone else!
