The title says it all.
Got an e-mail just now (for some reason) from WTFast saying they'll upgrade my 'free' version on December 14 to 'premium' for two weeks and then I have to get a sub.
I don't use that service at all and was only doing the trial to realize it did nothing for me.
However, I do know many WildStar players who use it and many more that subscribe to it.
 
If you use that service and were using the free version, now's the time to show them how much they slagging fail and dump them completely, cancel your subscription (if you have one), and possibly switch to (that other ping-lowering service) if you still need such a service.
 
Ideally you'd want to play without using either of those services but I know not everyone has decent internet.
 
Best way to reach them is to tweet a 'look of disapproval' (ಠ_ಠ) with the hashtag #WTFail and hope we can get them to change/reverse their decision.
This affects not only WildStar players but all gamers.  Let us make sure that our friends and guildies who need this service can maintain their free basic use without issues.

			I don't see the problem? Doesn't the free service disconnect you every half an hour anyway?	
----
			Wait, what is this about? A third party service?

			Do people have to provide their payment credentials for the free edition to function? If so that's kind of shady. Never really used those services myself though.

Some people have a horrible connection to the WS servers when playing (or rather trying to play) without WTfast. However, instead of flaming WTfast for their decision I'd rather say that this is the perfect moment for Crabine and NCsoft to sort out their shitty servers and routing issues.

			Wow.  WTFast is like the guy who offers to paint a blind man's house, sits around for 3 hours and leaves a half-empty can of paint open next to the fan.  Nice scam.

Since you mentioned WTFast, why be coy about "that other service"? Do share.

Sent out my Tweet today.  Time to start the cupcake of joy!
Remember, just retweet this line and nothing else.  Don't give them a word of commentary.
I've uploaded an image of the offending e-mail already.  Use it ^_^

You know how likely this is to happen, especially when it is Telsa ISP controlling the routing to NcSoft Servers, which then control the routing to the Carbine WildStar servers.
It would be ideal, but 'fixing server issues' doesn't seem to be high on the priority list right now.
I've experienced massive lag spikes in various (instanced) locations at various peak times and off-peak times.
 
The issue is that WTFast was offering a completely free (no time limit) basic service with a few limitations (no multi-server routing, extra servers are only for paying customers, etc).
Now they're backtracking on it when people got used to the basic service and the timing of this will particularly affect many WildStar players (mostly overseas) that already jump through hoops just to be able to play the game.
 
A PSA is a PSA.  A Public Service Announcement.  It is in the WildStar section as something that directly affects many WildStar players.  Go ask any of our Austrialian players as to how many of them use a VPN to play on either EU or US servers.
