No one is targeting people. They are targeting a location. The location is the problem, the people are not the problem.
.
At least try to understand the topic before replying.
OH! I misunderstood! I had no idea these were empty locations and it had nothing at all to do with people from those locations. I’m sure I’d be the only person to make such a foolish mistake.
Open your head before bothering me with semantics.
Now that we know neither person doesn’t feel like talking to the other, move on.
No, you dont get it. I do not see a single post talking about the skill level, customs or mannerisms of the people from any specific area or ethnicity, the topic and post content specifically refers to the technological limitations and issues of connecting to a location halfway around the world and how it negatively affects the playable experience by increasing latency and lag for people that would not experience it if they didnt connect there.
Maybe it’s not me who doesn’t get it.
You want to argue, cool. Go find someone who want’s to do that with you. I need to move on because you’re wasting my sense of humor on you.
I feel targeted just because of where I live.
Don’t be. Pity the Americans who don’t know how to memorize like three server names.
Latency rarely (and I mean it, under 0.00001% of the cases) has something to do with how good your computer is.
It’s about routing, ISP and connection.
Most BR players are in US servers now, mainly Stormrage/Warsong, but I get where you’re coming from.
This is not really viable for PvP (you can’t reliably interrupt good casters who know how to juke), and it’s annoying in PVE.
P.S.: Blizzard, avoid putting BR players in OCE instances, please.
It’s unplayable. Our REGULAR latency is already 120-150ms.
Another 150-250ms on top of that is not acceptable.
And please, it’s time to have our local servers already…
Just for context, BR servers are actually hosted in the Chicago DC, so when connected to OCE servers we get our regular latency PLUS oceanic latency combined, since all routes to OCE servers go through the US.
It’s part of a boosting addon, but I got it solely to show countries and languages; it’s called Boosting Tools.
My addon will still show their language. 
I really doubt it. You can’t guess the language of a character.
I mean, I play the game wholly in English (voice and text) because I joined way before BR servers even existed (played on Shadowmoon), and I’m too used to English names of talents and spells, but my realm is a “BR” one, since back then I thought it would mean a locally hosted server (much lower latency), not another US hosted server.
I wouldn’t have bothered with the free transfer had I known I’d stick to the same latency…
Which language would your addon show mine as?
Kangaroos don’t speak tho… They just box! 
To be honest, never complaining is not true at all. If it wasn’t for our complaints, we wouldn’t have gotten locally hosted OCE servers to begin with! 
It’s not guessing; I think it’s detecting the language the game client is set in or just what the most dominate language is on the realm.
I’d have to find you in-game to find out.
This is an interesting site:
Ping time between Sydney and other cities - WonderNetwork
If you go down to Chicago (which I believe is one of the major WoW hubs) at the time I looked at it just now, it shows a ms for Sydney (where the Oceanic Server is)-Chicago of 192ms. Though it fluctuates I assume due to various factors. I’m not technically minded but that doesnt seem to support statements about thousands of latency. It certainly supports my experience of playing with US-based grups, which only occasionally goes above 250.
People are just more interested in blaming Oceanic players for there bad internet connection.
