I played classic a little bit and the response time from the game seems rather sluggish and slow?
I switched to retail and it’s not happening there. I do have relatively long loading times when I port to Dalaran that’s all.
I must admit I haven’t checked where the classic and retail EU servers are physically located.
Are they just cutting corners on classic servers, or is it just too much load at the moment?
I have a 0.5-1 sec lag for almost everything i do.
Blizzard did something wrong with the “batching”.
Looting, buying or selling to vendors also has the delay. Insane.
This wasnt in Vanilla.
They did this to try and simulate era-appropriate internet connection. Whose connection, though - although I started in 2008 I never had a ping above 50, however had some friends from South Africa…
Batching itself may have been a thing as well.
Its side effects are intentional, such as two mages successfully sheeping each other. Some other effects might not be so, many complain about hunter traps.
I got used to it after a few days. (I do manually loot, that was the worst.)
