Whose end is it?

If TeamSpeak and iTunes Radio run just fine while I'm randomly lagging while playing, the problem shouldn't be on my side, right?

It really depends. Sometimes SE's servers deserve all the hate they get.

Then again, ISPs can single out packets and throttle them if they believe it to be a program performing illicit activity, which wouldn't effect your other internet reliant programs, just the game.

The game is fairly new, so I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a while for ISPs to get the message. After that, it's all SE's fault.

If others are playing on the same server as you without problems then clearly it's probably not SE's 'end' .. whether it's your 'end' or somewhere in between like your ISP throttling P2P is anyone's guess until you look into it.

Theres lots of lagg

SE's side:
*Theres Lagg SE' side LOTS & LOTS OF LAGG that other mmos dont have, theres packet loss from servers SE side. (then you have the overloaded servers 90k e.t.c..)
*Theres alot instance lagg in game 1 example being rock bombs in titan lagg graphicly for whatever reasons & thats kills people who dont know.
*Theres a client lagg issue due to resolution errors which is Very Very hard to explain but its there & proven on 2 different systems. Basicly pick a preset resolution & run with it dont customise it or else you will experiance this whether you notice it or not, you will be experiancing it.

Players side:
*Theres monitor lagg (LED monitors without ADV responce time) or anything less than 120hz monitors.
*Theres graphics lagg from drivers.. & older/smaller Graphics cards trying to run higher settings than the should. theres also graphics lagg from them overheating due to that.
*Theres some lagg from internet providers & theres some throttleing from providers.
*Theres lagg from wifi users because Wifi does cause drops in latencey e.t.c.
*Lack of VPN from long distance users/High ping users

I've figured out as many of the probliems as i can & now im down to the 2-3 seconds lagg @ SE's side way down from 4-7 seconds.

Funny thing i noticed is players saying there isnt lagg & they are lagging & dont know it, because there not paying attenchion, or its not over 2 seconds for them..
