I was doing Ky’Veza on ?? today and after several trys I noticed that even when I was facing her clones I died, so I searched for videos to see what I was doing wrong and then I realized, being a south america player with 200+ ms its just almost impossible to face 6 clones in 0,2ms, but of course this game is made for those who play with 30ms.
They love our money they just dont want to make the game viable for us

I mean this isnt a blizzard exclusive thing. If the games servers are located in a different country your going to have connection and fps issues.
Idk if it is so much a dev not caring problem as it is a technology problem. Seems that way to me anyway. Maybe we will get some patches to help with that.

That is correct. Blizzard does have a Brazil datacenter they use for some of their games, but they don’t have the population of Latin Americas players to support matchmaking and world events for WoW so those are hosted in Chicago. I mean they COULD put LA WoW in Brazil - but then people would be really unhappy they have nobody to group with, empty world events, very long queues for group content, etc. 
So you make the choice to play a game that has the Latin America servers hosted in Chicago. A game that has always had their LA WoW servers hosted in the US for 21 years now. You have spent years and years enjoying the game to the point you have over 32k achievement points. This is like going to Wendy’s for 21 years then being mad at them because they don’t serve seafood when you suddenly want shrimp.
Instead of selecting a different game that satisfies your needs, you want to see a game you spent years in “fall”. Fall because you can’t accept that the population of LA that plays WoW is not enough for matchmaking on the Brazil servers.
IDK, that seems self defeating really. If you hate WoW so much you really really should find a different game.

I didnt know this, ill have to keep a mental note of that. Thanks for explaining how it works.
This also kinda scares me a bit because lets say you decide you want to move to another country outside your region, you can’t transfer accounts from region to region. So you’d have to decide if moving to another country would be worth giving up a smooth playing experience or make a new account there.

Over the years they have had different hosting/datacenter locations. Right now they have LA (or maybe Nevada?) and Chicago for the US mainland. There is nothing on the East Coast and has not been for well over a decade.
Americas Region also has Sidney, Australia for the Oceanic Region.
Now, with Microsoft in the mix, I don’t know what exactly will happen with those locations.
Correct, unfortunately. WoW is not a Global license like Blizzard’s modern newer games. It is Region locked and you need to buy the game license again to even play in another Region. People do have to make the tough choice to continue playing WoW with friends in the old Region - but with bad lag - or playing with new people with less lag. Starting over is tough. I am not saying that might not change someday though - Blizzard KNOWS people really do want to be able to play cross Region (Americas, EU, and Asia non-China). China is a totally different game run by Net-Ease and requires Govt ID and hoops not accessible to people outside China.
The company is no longer run by game developers, it’s run by business bros.
This game pulls in money hand over fist. The bottom line is all they care about.

The Latin America servers have been in the US since the game released 21 years ago. Nothing has changed. The “gamer bros” you are thinking of did not select LA local servers then, nor in all the years they were there.
Your argument does not make any sense.

So first you tell me that they had 21 years to fix the latency or create a server fo Latin America or South America player whose represent a massive amount, but they didnt
and second you dont know me, and I dont know you so maybe you shouldn’t have this MVP tag because I think thats for someone who cares for ALL the player, including those like me that are unsatisfied for the last 13 years playing this game with high latency. We keep playing because we love the lore, the characters and the challenges
and third, and most important I PAY for this game for the last 13 years, way more than you united statecitizens pay, so I CAN complay for WHATEVER I want and HOW MANY times I want, because I pay for it. God bless america the land of freedom

Oddly after translation, your subscription fee is about 7USD, if it were actual parity with US costs it’d be 86.64Brl.

They can’t magically fix the latency. And Mira explained why the numbers weren’t conducive for a LA server.
How is Mira explaining things to help you understand somehow not caring? 
Pretty sure no one here told you that you weren’t allowed to comment. So what are you on about?
