WoW is rediculous

A major guild on my server just did the same <Blood of Virtue> (I think they are the furthest progressed Horde guild, the one that was before them seems to have stalled last I heard)
 
Some of the servers are poor quality. I moved from Suramar to Kilrog to play with a RL friend... I am regretting it quite a bit. Though I really enjoy playing with my buddy, I really cannot stand the lag. I have died so many times due to server disconnects or where there are 30 seconds of dropped packets. It is absurd and angering... Nothing angers me more than when it says I am not facing the mob, when am I keep getting hit and hit and hit and even my health potion works, but I still "You need to be facing the mob" so I do a 360 looking to hit and stills say "You need to be facing the mob" and well, then I die. You know how angering that is? It makes me want to punch a hole through the new sheetrock in the basement. It happens a few times a night too.

Or when you click on the AH and do a search and sit for 5 minutes while it searches. Nice, very nice... Or everytime you loot it takes 5 seconds to bring it up. The lag is terrible on KILROGG! Do NOT go to that server.

Suramar, on the other hand, is a GREAT server. No lag, no problems there. Bummer. I also get random disconnects on Kilrogg about 4 -5 times a night. It flat out sucks and yes I am angry over it.

raking in $90 Million a month and laggy servers? gimme a break.

NOT to mention the revenue generated from 6 Million WOW copies sold.

My bro is 24 and plays it freakin ALL THE TIME. I regret the day I bought him that damn game.

I really doubt they got 6 million recuring subscribers. If I have to guess, 1-2 mil. 3 top.

Although lag isn't completely gone, it's no where as bad as it was before - im averaging 50 to 90ms ping, with some spikes into the 200 sometimes.

The majority of lag occurs when I'm in BWL, and i believe most people associate that with too many guilds doing the razorgore encounter at once.

dude that ping is NOTHING. i would LOVE those pings. any and all times. (you must live near their server or something?)

most people on our server average 250+ normally (cept for some Cali people who have less) -
lag is when you get 600-3000ms. 😀

just as a side note, after getting Nef down a few times, we went into aq40 (2nd time, first time we wiped a bunch) and totally decimated first 3 bosses (first boss on 1st pull, 2nd boss on 3rd pull).
We havent done any of the NR bosses as the tanks (and many of the other ppl) don't have the proper NR gear yet.

We hit 35000 once fighting vael when 2 other guilds were also on vael.
