Also, that issue is what people are calling lag.. that so many people claim doesn't exist, or it's on the person's end.. or all the people are lying.

    I'm not really sure why you linked the thread to me, as it kind of proves my point? That issue doesn't happen outside of this MMO...
    I linked it to you, because the situation you described is related to that issue. I never stated SE confirmed it as an issue. However that is confirmed by players to affect EVERYONE. Which means it's unanimous it's on SE's end. Now if SE decides it's not an issue to them, or maybe they will decide it is, then that's that. Also, this has happened in other MMOs, but it got fixed/changed. My point is that OUTSIDE of that issue, that people deal with easily all the time, other people are claiming other lag issues. But not everyone. I've experienced server lag, lag due to people choking my connection, lag due to packet loss. I know what it is. I know when it's the server lagging and not me. There are many things that can cause lag. I'm tired of people blaming it on one party when they really have no clue at all if it really is or not.

    And I repeat, everyone has the issue in that link. But most people don't have "lag" issues, but no it must be that. It is an issue, I feel it should be fixed or whatnot. But it is completely playable even with said issue. Some people are having OTHER problems, which may compound it, but still, other problems that may or may not be SE's fault.

    Indeed, and to nip it in the bud before anyone else says anything. This is an ISP issue, not SE's in this case. While the data stream "might" look like P2P. With P2P you generally have multiple connections, not one to a single server. Plus the actual bandwidth used is tiny outside of patches. 100% ISP issue for this particular one.
