Yea using low latency as an excuse is certainly plausible. I will say however at 4ms ping and a decent claim macro most of his claims would look like botting to the majority of the server.
4ms ping means you are roughly within 100 miles of the server and likely on the same ISP. I'd post some technical information on how to calculate that and the geographic location of the proxy server, but i'm guessing that would be frowned upon.
If his claims haven't gone down in the last 13 days(when Nasomi updated DNS to point the server 1 DNS name to the Las Vegas IP) then 1 or more these are true:
1. He has overridden the server 1 DNS name to point to the original server 1 IP address in NJ. Not very difficult anyone can do this but seems shady. Not sure Nasomi's stance on this or his reasoning for the change.
2. He is able to find Nasomi's direct IP that isn't behind the reverse proxy setup he uses. This is difficult to do and i'm guessing would piss Nasomi off royally. This is how you would bypass Nasomi's DDOS protection..
3. He is botting
In the current environment he would be getting the latency of server 2 and therefore couldn't use low latency as an excuse unless either 1, 2, or 3 is true. So which is it Zigma?
On zigmas case its 3...... anyone that argues for him has no clue what they are talking about. You dont instant claim a mob that pops in a group mobs without tabing through or moving your head. Clear blatant botting on his part. He isnt the only one people are using auto spammer programs to afk claim coney for a very long time now. Any mob that is a pop claim is most likely getting claimed is using auto spammers or bots at this point.
On the other hand i tried everything possible to reduce my ping back to what it was week before.
