=======================================================
This issue has trouble me for seven months and there's been no relief. I'm unable to play progression content at times where a majority of groups run it, and that is the only activity that I haven't done. Prior to December 2015, gameplay was immaculate at all times of day.
Edit: Collapsing trace for space saving.
