Usually ping should be equal to latency but the net code in Giants does not handle too much of packet loss correctly and thus can create such a big latency (i.e. delay between you doing something (touching shop) and the server giving reaction (letting you buy)). This is because client or server buffer lost packets to be resent and do not check the queue for not growing too large.
The ping is measured as time between a packet sent to client and the client's answer packet being received. It does not reflect such big latencies in Giants, unfortunately.
