Why is this game such a chore...

[abzoluut]

The overall difficulty of the game is more like it was designed for Japanese audiences who never really do anything else but play this game. However there is virtually no real support in the game for more casual players.

Then why was WoW made easier for the Asian market, because Japanese people (in your case) play 24/7? Get you facts straight and don't blame an entire race because you disagree with something (with a very poor argument I might add).

Lag can be an issue, there is a nice post on these forums explaining why this lags. Maybe it will help you, can't seem to find the thread this quickly.
