i wont deny there are problems - i don't think the intended message from the response regarding packet loss exacerbating issues with the lobby server was "blaming it all on macdonalds wifi - its not our fault at all".
Ohhh aye, that is not what I got from Yoshi P's posts either.

It appears to be issue that primarily exists on the server end though can manifest on our end too. Attempting figuring out how their servers actually operate is umm, well it is not worth it. Endlessly sniffing packets back during the WoW emulator days was some of the most grueling and tiresome work I have ever ever done. The best we could do was "approximate" their back end stuffs and it was hell.

Yup yup, I can agree with this. I see what is occurring more as general incompetence than grand conspiracy myself, which is staggeringly common in the field of system administration. Many apologies if I misunderstood your intent!

Reading Yoshi's post reads more as if he is suggesting to the user that they eliminate anything they can on their end so not to wait in more queues. It does not help that his language is JP and it doth not translate well to English.
