No it doesn't. If you want to look at the timestamp on my hardrive and ask the 100 or so people who witnessed me on TF at that point to confirm I was there just to prove to yourself I'm not a liar with an agenda, by all means feel free.
I am not claiming that this week has always had terrible ping. I am saying those people who claim there is "no lag" or it has been "lag free" are engaging in selective memory.
Who says i called you a liar? The thing is that you are not the only one playing this game. Even if that is the ping that you play all day and its not just a spike it doesnt prove anything. I could also post a picture of very low ping when the servers are pop locked. Its not gonna prove anything either. Just because you lag it doesnt mean its the same for everyone. And also its not about seeing if it just lags or not. Its about seeing if its better than before. Feel free to believe that "no lag" comes from players who just want to see CP removed tho. Same applies for those who believe "its worse than before" comes from people who just dont want CP removed. In any case, i just dont like conspiracy theories.
The thing is posting a picture of low ping doesn't matter because that's how it should be. Posting a picture of the server shitting itself is pointing out a problem and letting people know that lag is actually still a thing without CP. Is it better? I can't say. I experienced yesterday something I haven't experienced since the lighting patch though, and that was a complete slideshow while I was running/farming a scroll. The only difference would be that it wasn't player frames that went down, but server frames. Does that count as latency? IDK, but it wasn't a client side issue and that's a problem.
The only thing in this game that causes lag is too many players being in the same area. Of course through some logical thinking cp = calculations = increased server stress. However, the solution of "remove CP" isn't any more of a solution than removing skills and just letting us light attack. Because obviously using skills and abilities adds to server lag as well.
I agree with Sneaky in that removing the CP is just causing people to move as one massive zerg. This is compounded by the double AP event which ensures a successful stress test, but also encourages moving as one blob so that everyone shares the new 16k keep ticks and 4k resource ticks. This kind of gameplay leads to 4 players taking a resource and getting swarmed by 20-30+. It leads to a couple of players trying to fight on the fringes ending up with the entire zerg turning 90 degrees towards you and following to the end of the map because your mere presence has insulted them and they can't allow you to have fun in a video game. This really isn't the type of thing that needs to be promoted.
One problem is that siege makes pushing alone almost unmanageable. Protracted keep fights are.... brutal. Watching replays of us dive bombing 80+ EP at Aleswell farm, most of our deaths are due to siege. Cleansing doesn't really help when you're getting hit with more inc damage than your HP from siege alone -- not to mention the 80 or so EP you're also fighting. I found my plays mostly confined to pushing the frontier and flanking maneuvers.

We were able to have a huge battle and some red showed up there was a little lag but nothing like it used to be. I remember the days when we could have 3 factions fighting at the same location and the lag would be next to nothing or nothing, sure would like to see those days return.
I think after the event and things return to poop on TF, I am going to home on Azura, I just hope there is enough population to have some good action during my play time in the afternoons and early evening, eastern time.
This has rejuvenated my interest a bit and I really hope the dev's got a lot of good data and they can make some changes for all of us to have a good time in pvp, and not have to worry about performance, power gaps, cheaters exploiters, infinite resource builds, crazy tanks that dish out massive damage, just things that are not right in mmo combat.
I really wish they would bring back soft caps and hard caps to me that was some of the best times in the game and the most build diversity I have seen so far.

Im not saying CP are the only thing causing lag. I didnt even say that its not lagging now. And its not about testing if lag is eliminated by removing CP but to see if its better than before. It shouldnt be low ping. Even a picture of 500 ping can mean that is better than before.
A picture of high ping proves that the servers are crap for everyone but a picture of low ping doesnt prove anything? Are you for real now? How can you judge who has low and high ping? Do you have the full data from the test? Untill you do, statements like "no lag" comes from people who want to push no CP to everyone are just conspiracy theories. Not everyone have a hidden agenda against you.

You are insinuating I am being less than honest. I posted the terrible ping pic because people are saying there's "no lag" and it's "lag free." That statement is not true. My post is not disingenuous because while there have been times it has been no lag, there are times when it goes down the toilet.
Posting a screenshot of no lag is not the same because I am not saying it's always a terrible lagfest (i.e., being dishonest).
People who are saying "no lag" and "lag free" are not about "seeing if its better than before." They are saying much more than that.
It's not a conspiracy theory to state that many people on these forums report exaggerations and specious statement because of their bias, preferences, and main class. Or are you new here or something?

The writing's on the wall.
Yup
EP had their entire faction at BRK I'd say D.C. Had half and it never lagged, never saw a red ping despite non stop action
Just ping alone is a huge diff for me. The fights I'm seeing Azura would be red ping unplayable on TF a weeks ago.
