Entire guild lag spikes due to fake disconnects

Our guild on Draenor (EU) has since the introduction of cross-faction guilds experienced bugs not only related to the known bug of achievements being re-awarded, but also the entire guild “disconnecting” at random intervals.

No players actually disconnects from the game, but everyone appear offline and online for a brief moment. When this happens the game freezes for everyone. It has gotten so bad that it has caused wipes in our raids. several people on our mythic raid teams leaves the guild under raids to make sure it doesn’t happen.

NOTE: We’re a very large community and we’re struggling with guild cap. It looks like the amount of lag scales with amount of players online (naturally).

If anyone else with large guilds experience this issue please let us know. I hope this post also can help bring Blizzard’s attention to the issue.

Yes! This bug is insanely annoying! We’ve had people leave our guild because of it, and they are not coming back until this is fixed. Happens several times, every single day.

This issue alone is causing multiple members to leave our guild; either temporary while raiding or m+, but some also permanently as it does not get fixed.

This bug is seriously affecting everyone’s experience of this game, and is potentially damaging our community over time.

Please prioritise fixing this issue, everything else can wait as far as I am concerned.

This is a really annoying issue, and makes the game unplayable when in a bigger Guild.
And as someone that came back just to play with those in there, leaving and going somewhere else isn’t something that I’ll consider…
This needs to be taken seriously by blizz, they need to fix it… It wipes groups when it happens and one is a tank or healer…

The achievement notification isn’t that important anyways. Please just disable it until you’ve figured it out.

This is extremely frustrating! On raid days we are around 300+ online members online. The bug happens so many times during the day, but during raid its insane… I’ve made a post myself which got closed almost same time ut was posted, and merged into another post with a comment from blizz that they are working on it… Clearly you are not prioritizing this, as this bug has been for a loooong time!!

I hope blizz takes this seriously, because everyone knows that community is one of the biggest factors on why people stick to wow. This could break communities and actually make people quit the game.
