Idk why are u here on this post just to argue with people or what?
Some people payed sub just to play HC nothing else so y their sub was for HC.
This lag is present also on ERA and WOTLK and think I saw someone even mentioned Retail and as it is not so punishable to play there for me personally there is no point of going and starting char there as Im not going to play there and games like this are driven by some future tasks among other things. So no I havent played other types of this game for quite some time now and that much about me being WoW Andy as u called me
