I know for me personally i haven't even bothered to do all the world quests for rep or AP because i can't !@#$ing stand the lag most of the time. It has put those who are like me WELL behind everyone else.
This is me too, I'm off the raid team and couldn't even go on the
Heroic 'farm' optional raid. :-(
In my case the frustration levels were so appalling it was bad for my mental health, that's why I didn't have an active subscription for the first time since 2005. I had a two week break then threw some gold at it.
Since coming back it's been a bit better but then earlier tonight, about midnight on Friday, it was noticeably bad. I almost died from falling damage a couple of times as spells weren't registering. In combat abilities were delayed too, which is really hard as a DoT class with combo points.
Presently this seems to be affecting Oceanic servers during peak hours.
We've been telling you that for 75+ pages.
Two second delay on casting, on evading enemy casts, on looting.
The fact that this is still a thing after weeks since launch is frankly disgraceful.
You used to be better than this. Your servers did too.
I know it's not your fault, you're just the flak-catcher. But I can't be the only one around here whose experience this expansion has been substantially affected by the inability to play the game properly.
Two hours in, and I should be having fun. But I'm giving up for the night, because it isn't getting any better and is a slog. It's unenjoyable. It's frustrating.
You've really made a mess here, and it's going to take a lot of work to get the goodwill back again.
I've emphasised parts of your post.
They ring so true for me. I used to log in and get immersed in content to a point I'd not notice the time, now it's become a different story:
Log in, work out which WQ have useful rewards and/or fulfill the emissary requirement.Tolerate the lag to get them done.Log out.Note that there is no,
"enjoy myself", or,
"have fun".
Having said that it hasn't been
as bad as it was, until tonight. I assume this is because the urgency of people chasing things has died down, then there are the people who quit. People who wanted a good experience, didn't get it and just gave up with a sour taste in their mouths and a blemish in their memory which will make them wary of trying again.
And, so it continues. The length of time this issue has been around is appalling and, as usual, there is little communication on progress toward resolving it.
It gets so bad during my prime play time, that I don't even bother to do WQ often. The delay can be awful.
Worth noting that I play from Japan, on Oceanic server Khaz'goroth. I get the same issues reported by the Oceanic players, so it definitely isn't just a local ISP problem.
I play on Cael/Nagrand and I am consistently seeing players from Khaz, Barthilas, Frostmourne, AmanâThul etc. herbing/mining.
Not sure if I am on their realm or they on mine but logic says that this must be the issue or at least a significant contributor.
Apart from the competition for resources!

Non Warmode.
There may be some good news in that this problem is starting to affect other servers in the US and to be honest, when that happens they tend to put more effort into solving the problems.
It's a relief to know that this issue isn't with my computer, but it's annoying to see that it's going unaddressed. I'm on Windrunner, playing in Australia, and my game has been running like garbage for the past few days. Huge delays in loading enemies and raids, looting, moving, etc.
The Zone you are in: Stormsong Valley
The character you are on: Rowall
How long ago you had the issue: now
The Realm the affected character is on: Caelestrasz
If you are in a group or not: no
Is war mode on or off: off
Starting the lag over the last few minutes, delay in handing in quests, in looting and skinning, etc. Oh, and attacks - just mine, not the mobs. They appear to be unaffected by lag, which in effect creates an extra layer of gcd. So much fun.
It seems to be affecting US servers too. I know this same issue has been affecting me and a couple friends and I play on MG and WrA US.

Decided to attempt some WQs at peak hour. #regret
It's affecting US servers are well. My monk on Aggramar is getting hit with serverly. It has already killed her once. She is perfectly fine anyway else in game but BFA areas I just can't play her.
Loot lag is really bad on Khaz right now. Alliance, Tiragarde Sound, 20/20ms feels more like 5+ seconds. Warmode on.
If this was a F2P mmo, I'd have walked away and no harm no foul, I'd not expect it to be a great experience, but we're PAYING for the privilege of receiving this "service". 6 weeks to finally acknowledge the problem was what many of us have been telling you from the start, that it was server related and still no resolution in sight. This is really a poor showing from a company that I'm sure prides itself on it's professional image.
Fix this NOW and give us a damned refund.
I'd really just like to finish a BG without being booted for "high latency" and then have a deserter debuffâŚ
cool way to play the game for the last 2 months!
Don't even know why I'm still paying for it if I'm honest!
I can't believe we pay monthly for this quality of service.
Still having the same issues for two plus months...
Next Battleground event is Tarren Mill vs Southshore too xD
Looking forward for 10 second lag and 5 fps! haha
People are running out of patience, and the lack of updates/communication is only compounding the problem.
It's affecting US servers too, even outside BFA zones.
About an hour ago, some serious lag started happening and hasn't gone away.

This is called "Cross Realm" and has been in the game since Mists of Pandaria. You don't only see Cael/Nagrand characters, you see any players from Oceanic realms.
It can be occasionally frustrating as you can't trade with them if they aren't on Cael/Nagrand and you are, nor can you join their guilds. It simply fills the world with characters you can talk to and group with but for whom there are limitations imposed by them being on unconnected realms.
