Ok, now it DC’d me at the Darkmoon Faire, and also says ‘character already exists’ when I try to log back in.

Oof, it’s really bad right now. Couldn’t log into the character I wanted to play. When I was finally able to, the moment I left Valdrakken dragon riding stopped working and there are no NPCs anywhere.

yes, here and there.
Though I constantly have to check my internet connection because its going down here and there as well.
I assume if my internet is fine and everything but the game is running, that its the game…possibly.

Oh yes. I take flight path… and it takes my character 2+ minutes to actually land once they arrive. Other times I get disconnected and can’t log back in because “a character with that name already exists” for several minutes. I’ve had a few odd instances of rubber banding and being unable to loot for extended periods as well.
They are having some very odd server issues in the last week.

My HM Rogue kept getting stuck in load screens when I used hearthstone to get too Org while doing the summer fires all over the map…kept getting stuck and I had too alt F4 out of the game then had to load up another character before trying for HM rogue one as it was being said on my screen “there is a character” all ready in game when it wasn’t.

Countless post about the issues of characters being locked on the loading screen, and the only reply I’ve seen on the topic, was a Blue response that said to “Try using a different connection, mobile hotspot, etc.” Somehow I don’t think that this many random people, from across the country, are all using the same internet provider/mobile hot spot.
My understanding now, is that after coming back from FFXIV, Blizzard only cares about the money, and not the service they provide. Seeing how the Dev team at FFXIV actually gets back to players with mass reporting of the same issue, and actually takes the time to update players frequently when there is a mass reported issue, I have a much better understanding now of how a team can be more customer service friendly, than one that takes your money and runs away with it. I’ve been given back game time on numerous occasions from FF, when it is server sided issue. In the case that we are having here, Blizzard hasn’t given me time added on my account, as of yet, for the service disruptions all week long. There isn’t even hardly a mention from a Blue, about the issues going on, once again in the past 12 hours.
I am just using another company as an example of customer service, when the problems are with the company and not with the user base. This is not an issue of “Addons” or “IP providers”. This is not a user side issue. This is an issue with Blizzard, and their repeated failure to compensate for the down times, with the server disruptions at such a high, in the last week. Will things change? No. Will they do much acknowledgement for the issues at hand? No. We will probably get another “We are working to investigate the issues with the authentication servers this morning”, even though this has been going on for almost a day for a lot of people. The slow response time, and the unprofessional handling of the situation, is making me regret the extended subscription that I’ve paid for, and the fact that I came back to an expansion that seemed epic on the outside, but has been nothing but a very unplayable mess in the last week or so.
Think about it this way. Most people complain, nicely or not, when something with a fast food order is wrong. If an item is missing, or a special request was made and paid for, people complain. You paid for it, and you want it right. Well you are paying more monthly for WoW, than you are for a piece of cheese on a cheeseburger that was missing. If you get mad at something around $1-$2, then you should be rather upset for not being able to play much for 7-15 times as much. The service you are getting is rather disappointing at this point.
Just my opinion.
