Ping issues , please help
If you change from the american region to the european region, you’ll likely still get a not-so-well latency (within the 200ms region, perhaps inside the 100ms region), but it’ll certainly be lower than what you get from the American servers. It depends on where you get routed through towards Europe.
A two-figure or lower latency is not possible from the UAE, that would require a server that is at most distant as Turkey from you.
I believe the datacenter of GW2 EU is in Frankfurt(Main), Germany, near the DECIX, which would give good to moderate peering to all of Europe.
Hint: If you delete all characters, then relog, server transfer will be free. Note though that you can transfer (free and paid) only once a week.

Would upgrading my internet package would help . And what upload / download speed do you recommend me upgrading to that would help greatly

Upgrading your internet connection wouldn’t help as you can’t send signals physically faster than the speed of light. It’s the distance to the servers that is the problem, not your internet connection.

So my upload speed and download speed have nothing to do with this issue? Just to be clear
Correct. It’s not a bad latency by network congestion but by distance.

And the only way to improve would be to either move countries XD
Or transfer my account to the closest possible region which would be EU

A possible solution, albeit not easily feasible.

It will likely improve the latency but you’ll likely still not get a sub 100ms latency. More like 120ms to 160ms.
It is still playable though, you’ll just need to react a bit earlier.
EDIT: Using German Telecom LTE (Base latency 40ms) i get 100 ms from Welver, NRW, Germany to Tehran, Iran, about 140ms to Dubai (Host: Etisalat) and about 100ms to Baghdad, Iraq (Host: Earthlink). A sub-200 ms latency is possible, but a sub-100 ms latency is unlikely, depends on where you live.
