So I've just been looking on the EU Technical Forums and they seem to be experiencing a similar issue as those on the Oceanic servers. A Blue Post was made yesterday about it..if only we were given such information!
https://eu.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/17622493351?page=10
What I love about the blue post there is that they are telling people that it doesn't happen, effectively.
Reading between the lines, we're meant to be sharded on to another server when one gets too busy. But that's clearly not happening. Unless of course they think this many people have been making it up for this long? Maybe Neurotoxin has the right idea. I check back pretty regularly but I'm going to be posting more often, at least to keep it busy. I'm also going to be encouraging my guild to post (I've tried in the past, they don't see the point as Blizzard won't do anything anyway but hey... We've gotta try
something.) in hopes that more people talking about their experiences gets our problem solved.
Daily request for an ETA on a fix.
EU CS Rep said this.
Fortunately, we have systems in place that are specifically designed to deal with this issue, and we’ve seen these latency issues automatically resolve over time as those systems kick in.
So then my question to Bliz USA is
This system is not enabled or working in oceanic - very obvious as we only get server side lag during peak only.

Still stuffed.
Here's what it looks like from a player perspective.
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/312005287
I've put a weakaura up showing latency next to my action bar - it stays solidly at 22-23ms throughout the whole thing.
Despite this the targets actually manage to run right into melee range before the debuff from the initial cast is even applied to them.
Well if the Blizzard tech department couldn't recreate the problem you've provided them a great video showing the problem!
I should have made one as a feral druid, waiting for the five combo points from
Feral Frenzy was painful. Then trying to use the
Predatory Instincts buff to cast a heal on yourself so you wouldn't die. That delay killed me way too often. :-(
I'm still waiting for the problems to be resolved so I can finish playing the story from the expansion I bought.
Still waiting for a post indicating they're worked out the problem, at this point it's quite embarrassing for them.
The Zone you are in - Tiragarde Sound (Boralus in specific)
The character you are on - Schmuckules
How long ago you had the issue - Right now (and its happening every !@#$ing day)
The Realm the affected character is on - Nagrand
Group - No (Solo)
Warmode - Off
In-game latency shows 22/23ms
2-4 second delay on any game interaction (looting, mounting, ability usage, etc)
Great game you have there blizzard... how about 6 months of free game time and a boat mount for all the grief your Oceanic player base has been putting up with since BfA launched ;)
Hi Blizzard. This is just a Daily request for an ETA on a fix.
A Great White Shark must of gone 'toe to toe' with the AAG and SEA-ME-WE3 cables out in the Pacific Ocean.
I think it be the only fair dinkum explanation as to why we must be experiencing this poor quality of service.
True?
The Zone you are in - Tiragarde Sound
The character you are on - Rhuella
How long ago you had the issue - currently
The Realm the affected character is on - Nagrand
Group - No
Warmode - Off
I don't really know why I keep commenting on this thread since its obvious that, after weeks and 66 pages of comments, nothing is going to be done. I guess they are just waiting for us to accept it and either quit playing or give up reporting on it.

Not at all true, the servers are in Sydney.
Gone are the days we are at the mercy of boat captains dragging their anchors over the undersea cables.
Servers still a steaming pile of sh i te 5+ weeks later, good job there Blizzard.
The Zone you are in - Oh, let's see here shall we? Voldun, Boralus, Tiragarde, Instance BG's where my ping was in the !@#$ing thousands, Drustvar, shall I go on? Currently in Vol'dun with 6 second lag to loot the corpse.
The character you are on - This character
How long ago you had the issue - currently and the last two hours.
The Realm the affected character is on - Frostmourne
Group - No
War mode - On
Notes: And this was on three different connections (WiFi, wired and on my phone). The issue is clearly with you. And if you tell me to reboot my modem, and do any of the generic steps to "fix" my connections, I'm going to start flipping tables.
Oh and note 2. Everytime I lag out in game, the forums take forever to load, coincidence much? And no, that only happens with your website.
Note 3: After reading what the representative said in the EU forums, it's clearly a bandwidth issue as pointed out earlier in the thread. Instead of making shards infinite (which is what I am suspecting you guys are setting them to), make them a fixed number such as 100. That should alleviate any bandwidth issues, as well as keeping a decent horde-alliance ratio on those shards for maximum efficiency.
Because this is a joke, here is my report to add to your list of reports to do nothing with...

Daily request for an ETA on a fix.
Listen, I'm as concerned as anyone at coming across as melodramatic about this, but yeah, the lag really is still a major problem. There are moments in the BfA zones when there's no lag, and it's great - but most of the time, especially during peak times, it's *at least* bad enough to be noticeable and frustrating. At its worst it really is unplayable and miserable; there's nothing else but to leave the BfA zones or log-off.
I want this to be solved because I want to play, but at the moment it's a real deterrent to logging in.
Any updates really would be appreciated.
Hi Blizzard. This is just a Daily request for an ETA on a fix.
I've cancelled my sub and been playing Overwatch and Fortnite in hopes I can avoid this lag bs until it gets sorted... Have been monitoring this thread every couple of days, and I cannot believe this far along it's still being considered a user end issue.
Absolute joke.
HEY BLIZZ WHERE THAT FIX AT
Hi Blizzard. This is just a Daily request for an ETA on a fix.
Trying to finish levelling my druid Astridomo. In Tiragarde Sound (Caelestrasz, Warmode Off) the latency is Horrific.
It takes over a second to loot anything, turn in/pick up quests, and spell casting is also delayed. It's worse than playing on an American server.
At this rate, you're going to lose a lot of oceanic players simply because we clearly don't matter to blizzard like american players.
I understand it's "America first" but this is beyond a joke now. It's been ongoing since the launch of the expansion and I think I speak for everyone when I say we're !@#$%^- sick of it.
