Game does not log in to the correct Gateway/Server

SO I tried this. Switched my gateway to australia (i'm in vancouver so rightly so autogateway selects calif for best ping). Get this though. the result for australia is the same as the result for california..or texas or toronto. 160ish ms. Like the whole choose a gateway thing at this point, is bs.

US East here. I get random ping spikes no matter what server I am on, ran a traceroute, and see I am being routed through an Amsterdam address no matter what. These ping spikes are extremely obnoxious and I hope it is fixed soon.
