What is with this constant unacceptable 4-7 second lag?

Is this ever going to be addressed? It’s not new either. For the ENTIRETY of Vol’dun in BFA the entire zone was 4-7 seconds of delay on everything. Sometimes it was in Zandalar… now it’s in the maw… Korthia you name it. Its completely inconsistent at when it strikes, and it makes the game nearly unplayable. There has been no resolution and it just keeps happening. MS on world and home are like 23ms… so its not client side. It can’t be sharding either because its happening in places where no one even goes…

if this was a bug, everyone would be experiencing it.

when was the last time you did a UI reset?

does your pc meet minimum recommended specs?

try tech support, and provide some relevant information/logs

This has been happening to nearly everyone for 2 expansions now. My PC is way beyond minimum specs… 16gb ram Gforce 1080… its not my pc… when it happens the entire zone starts complaining about it. Its not on my end ms is in the 20s for both world and home. For nearly the entirety of BFA Voldun was in this state, when 9.1 world boss started spawning it was like this while he was engaged… anywhere in the zone.

Not true. I’ve seen this on some realms but not others. I recall several times during BfA when elite quests in Nazmir were unplayable due to lag on some servers but fine on others. A few days later it was fine again.

See other forum posts here, and here (where the response from a ticket I created directed me to).

Long story short, “report it as a bug, the devs will fix it” (maybe allocate more server resource / an extra hamster to a zone for 5 mins), and “zones it used to affect are fixed!” (because no-one plays there anymore).

Excuse the salt, 3+ years of the same issue is unacceptable.
