Red Ring of Death!

Furthermore, for those of you not experiencing the issue - why are here?

First off, I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue Lurkios hopefully it can get resolved soon.

...once again I just want to say I'm not trying to place blame on anyone. Was just pointing out 2 things, that AoEs are infact avoidable, it's just as damaging to the games reputation and potential if nobody even gives it a chance because they see things like those old beta 3 gifs floating around; and to point out that there MAY be a solution for people without waiting for SE.

I'm not trying to claim there is no delay or anything like that, and by no stretch of the imagination am I trying to get anything swept under the rug or ignored, but as indicated by what I said in that previous post, the people who are experiencing this issue don't realize the damage they are doing as well.

You say getting this issue ignored is damaging to the games potential subscriptions and longevity, but I don't think you realize just how many people are making noise about this, and a large number of those players could take steps to improve their situation without SE doing anything. If everyone is shouting at the top of their lungs that the game is broken and nobody can avoid anything, then nobody will give it a shot, which is much more damaging, than this issue not being addressed at all.

Once again I'm not blaming you or anyone else, so please stop taking offense at the notion that there could be something wrong with your connection, for the last time your connection is not YOU.

Hopefully SE can get this all sorted out, but in the meantime, now you know there are other steps that can be taken to help improve things, if you choose to willingly ignore those steps on the grounds of "you shouldn't have to", then that is fine too.
