You’d better invite me! You’re the majority playing when I do!
Ping is an issue.
They put OCE because if you’re on East coast your ping might jump to 200, which to some poeople is not acceptable.
Oce also know their ping will get quite higher on NA so they join only when they’re certain they can perform well or if they don’t really care much.
Ive actually timed a vast majority of my keys with OCE players.
They may not speak great but at least they play right.

99% of the time, M+ groups I’m in tend to avoid inviting people from Frostmourne specifically because of the ping issues, and I don’t join Frostmourne groups despite them having the highest-quality Alliance players in the world specifically because my ping shoots up to about 300-400 or so. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but it makes specs like Fire Mage and Shadow Priest unplayable.
Those servers are still in NA, iirc; they perpetually play with poor ping. South American players typically aren’t invited into NA groups because of a serious language barrier and poor experiences lots of folks have with folks from those servers. A lot (read: NOT ALL) of LatAm/Brazilian players are really bad at WoW, as is the case with the vast majority of new players, and there are virtually no resources in Spanish and Portuguese that translate 1:1 so it’s harder for those guys to improve when compared to English-speaking players since this game has an absolutely massive amount of community-run resources (honestly, I think only Path of Exile rivals WoW on that front) written in English, but virtually none of it translates well into those languages.
I mean, let’s be real: Australian English is just generously sprinkling a certain four-letter word into everyday conversations.
It’s a good word bront.

I’m glad they do. I don’t want to heal high keys with a half second delay…
Close, but no prize. Its Caelestrasz. And since its on exactly the same server as all the other Oceanic realms, I don’t see how that can be the issue. Perhaps its a ‘you’ thing?
I understand what this means thanks to Green Street Hooligans.
Shout out Charlie Hunnam.
i just went out of my way and learned how to say “noob, move out of the bad” in 7,100 languages. until blizzard can fix this at least.

No, you just curse on an entirely different level.
Why would you subject yourself to the extremely noticeable OCE latency? It’s like 230-300 ms, or more sometimes. It’s painful.
Well, this may actually come as a surprise, but this is entirely false actually. You’ll find that swearing isn’t actually something most Australians do. Yes, there is some who do, but most don’t.

The Media is doing you folks a gross disservice! I would like to enjoy one incredibly large can of Fosters some day though. Unless those are false as well…I’d be sad about that one.
Only in parts of the US, in other parts its used as often as if you were in the UK.
The US is huge and full of regional dialects that buck trends found in other parts.
It happened to me the other day at 1:30 in the afternoon. I got tossed in an OCE group. I avoid queueing at night now for RSS because it’ll toss you into OCE more often than not. It’s rough.
I know, its the entitlement of NA players. Never seen people cry so much over latency as NA people.
I’ve tanked in an NA phase and an OCE phase. When we make a party OCE is just as a heads up that you’d be phased into our region.
It’s more than possible to do keys above 10 on either regardless of region, it does obviously feel better on my own region.
I find people make much of a big deal out of it than I care for - I join plenty of NA groups and perform fine on my DPS. The biggest issue I’ve seen is actually perception - I can apply for a bunch of keys on my Frostmourne character and be rejected a lot, including low keys. I’ll swap to Thaurissian (which was merged with Frostmoune ages ago) and get in a lot more keys just because it’s not as known.
As much as this is a problem I can’t fault someone for taking the easiest way out - when running a dungeon you want the highest chance of success.
I played EU WoW for about 6 months and I still managed there despite a much worse latency than US from OCE. Since then nothing quite feels as bad.
