The true reason behind latency(lag) in Destiny.

So I'm just going to put this out there. IT'S NOT INDIVIDUALS WITH POOR INTERNET CONNECTION CAUSING LAG. The real issue is shitty networking code. Plain and simple. How many of you pay for high speed Internet only to still red bar sometimes in Crucible? I know I do. There is not another online shooter out there that has such bad issues with latency. Considering that most online shooters largely share the same player base, if the lag we experience in Destiny is not affecting other online shooters, it's clear to me that the issue is bungie's shitty networking code. Blame is not on you as the end user and never should be.

The servers only house the playlists and game parameters. The 'host' box largely determines the latency.
