So how about that lag?

[Esrahadon]

So is it just me or has this lag been going on for far too long? Not the usual "Fook! Bene didn't go off, stupid animation!" but the lag where everything stops, or is jumping around rapidly. I've been trying to ignore it and hoping it goes away for the past 7 or 8 weeks, but I've talked to several people, and several raid leaders, who report their raids are experiencing the same problems. I've made sure its not a problem on my end. Has SE even acknowledged this problem yet?

I've played this game since beta and of course there have been periods of lag, but this feels like the longest running streak. I WANT to like this game, and I try very hard to look on the bright side of things but if every time or every other time I enter a raid with my static someone lags, what the hell do you do other than replace people and not accept new members based on where they live or what ISP they have?
