The point was to show that SE is just blatantly ignoring any issue regarding server performance.
Pre-note: This rant isn't directed at you. Quoted because the first sentence or two was in response.

Oh, I know they're ignoring it, but lag is a different issue itself altogether, and the mod is right there. I haven't seen people complain about it, just the server not recognizing where your character is. The accepted bug thing gives me hope, because what is listed there (that a mod didn't just dismiss) is exactly the issue. I'm attempting to keep a few (2) different threads bumped until I quit playing entirely. My patience is probably going to last about as long as my 3 month subscription. Until then, that's really the only thing I can do to make the issue visible, and be very clear that it's still an issue.

Being, said I do love the game otherwise. I would like to keep playing, but every time I get hit by something I was out of it destroys the fun of playing. I know it's that way for many other people, and it isn't always predictable, nor are all the skills for fights always completely predictable. I can judge approximately when Repelling Cannons will go off, but unless I'm dragging the boss this way and that way with me, I can't really pre-move out of it, and my timing is likely going to be off a good few seconds each time. Not to say I get hit by it every time. Sometimes I make it out of it just fine.

I also don't understand why people want the posts about it to just go away (because then for sure it wouldn't get addressed, as that lag thread you posted). That's not helping the game, threads like these aren't hurting the community, no one is being nasty to each other (for the large majority of the thread anyway). If we accept it as is, without SE coming out and saying they're no longer willing to look into it, then we're letting them off the hook for something game breaking.. and something that is so far out from what the industry standard is. If SE comes out an goes "we're not considering this an issue" in a way like that accepted bug being moved to the resolved/closed section, then so be it.. and many of us can make decisions based on that. Until then, it's up in the air and just a patience game.
