That's why I started the post early with "quit now", because if they truly cannot live with the ping, then they have no other choice because complaining certainly won't send the servers back to EU, simply because the servers aren't going back to EU, full stop. Funcom made this quite clear.
If they still wish to complain even though they realize it won't change a thing, I certainly won't stop them.
And quite honestly, I really have no problems with those just complaining about ping. I have no feelings about it either way, different strokes for different folks, as the saying goes. What really bothered me were those posts that are complaining and cite made up statistics - 100s or 1000s of players leaving, for example - and then doom and gloom, as if they had more data then Funcom. It's just completely ridiculous, and in case they actually think they would be somehow affecting Funcom's decision making with those posts, I decided to point out the flaw in such a course of action.
