How long will the game be randomly unplayable?

I’m sure many others’ have felt the sting of the faux lag issue that’s been plaguing the players for the past ~month+

Is there any ETA on fixing this?

  • Suddenly being unable to interact with things.

  • mounting without a mount, being unable to dismount.

  • Being killed by mobs not in phase with us, and are untargetable.

  • Rares and quest mobs despawning mid-fight while our toon is randomly shifted to some other realm only to have to start the fight all over again.

All the while our lag reads at a smooth 21ms home/world.

I’ve played since Vanilla, I’ve lived through lootlag, endless server ques, dying in Kalimdor only to be rezed in Hillsbrad Foothills or Westfall. And the game has NEVER been this level of unplayable.

It happens in ever facet of the game but appears to be more prevalent in Invasion events.

Please tell me the dev team both knows that the issue exists and is planning on fixing it because at this rate of deterioration, 8.2 won’t be a “Welcome back” event so much as a “Look at the frustration you were avoiding by playing” event.

The only one of these I’ve experienced was the mount issue and only while leveling on an alt. Suddenly I cant attack because it says I’m mounted without a mount and then I’m able to just start flying around. It’s quite funny but also annoying.
