I like how you make it out as their current hardware, setup, network and what ever involves around gaming servers of this scale, is a complete joke.
It doesn't matter how much money or time they've spent on their current setup, it's obviously not sufficient to get the job done without excessive lag. Their setup, their time, their efforts.... that's all on them. The end result is what we see, and what I see is huge amounts of lag and rubberbanding every time I play... and only on Diablo 3. Every other online game I play (including WoW) I get minimal latency and no noticeable lag spikes. The other day my wife participated in the stress test of the Guild Wars 2 servers, and she only saw 2 lag spikes over the course of the entire test... the rest of the time her latency stayed below 200, and was usually below 100. But she hops on D3 and all of a sudden her latency ranges anywhere from 150 to 900. So honestly, I don't know exactly what kind of a setup they have, but I can say that it's obviously not good enough.
And no, I don't have an answer for how they can fix it. I don't work for them. I also don't know how to repair plumbing, but I would certainly be able to tell that something was wrong if my toilet flooded everytime it was flushed. You don't need to know the answer to be able to recognize that there is a problem.
Done appealing to Blizzard, honestly I have yet to see Blizzard do anything that makes the game worth playing. The focus has been to make it HARDER to play to meet the upper managements requirement of projected real money auction house profits. I am not the only complaining about connection issues, so it would be reasonable to assume that the issue is SERVER SIDE not at the ISP or my network ... Either Blizzard is having coding or hardware issues, but the point remain the same, the fault lies with BLIZZARD, tired of people insulting me for my opinion, that is based in FACT, from the experiences of others as well as my own experiences with lag, horrible gear scaling (obviously designed to force the use of the AH to progress @ rate to prevent being completely bored with the limited content), lack of offline/LAN/single player game play, progressively adjusting character abilities in a negative fashion, the game is nowhere nearly as playable as Diablo 2, the limitation in gameplay as well as the lack of the dark diablo feel only draw further away from the game, if there is anything that is a complete joke is my hopes for a fix that makes this game fun, if the RMAH is optional and the GAH optional why are the loot drops so horrible? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

When I read ignorant rants like that I feel like I just called up Comcast tech support and they're telling me my router is broken before they've even done any diagnostics.
GUILD WARS WORKS SO LAG HAS TO BE BLIZZARD.
Sorry, bub, that's not how the internet works. There are other possibilities beyond "Blizzard sucks" even though I know that's really hard to get through someone's head who just wants to tell us how awful Blizzard is.
I have no idea why they'd have banned a courteous, thoughtful, mature person such as yourself. None at all.
I remember reading this somewhere before, but I have to use it because it's a perfect like. I think Bashiok is to blame for this quote.

rubberbanding has existed since early beta, got a bit better over time but it's still there and it probably wont go away...saying that the problem is on our end ONLY is kinda ignorant...
flame on
The thing is 90% of people don't have the education or any real learning to be able to give any kind of realistic or unbiased opinion about what is actually causing it. And the 10% who do get washed over by a sea of complaints and are probably never even listened to.
My guess? Could be Blizzard servers having trouble. They use some of the best servers available from what I hear, but the stress of Millions of people moving in and out constantly, while also supporting in-game functions, auction houses... It would probably cause -any- server to have issues eventually. Another guess? It could be a result of our own connections at our homes having hiccups every once and a while (In before people say they have perfect connections, because no connection is perfect and they all hiccup at times).
Maybe it's a combination of both? Once again, the problem is that the general mass of players don't know. So there's no real reason to complain about it, or blame a single entity (even the ones hosting the game) because it doesn't even fix anything anyway.

What isn't ignorant or rant about your post? Please tell us how the internet works oh wise one ... if one program has an issue that no other program has where does the problem most likely reside? Battlefield 3: Works fine Borderlands: Works fine FireFall: Works fine FFXI: Works fine Blacklight Retribution: Works fine Crysis 2: Works fine Diablo 2: Works fine Command & Conquer Red Alert: Works fine - - - Diablo 3: Doesn't Work fine ... I am simply tired of blizzard not addressing this issue as it has been brought up multiple times, and if all i wanted was to tell people how awful blizzard is it would be a lot easier then asking for the game to be fixed so I can enjoy it, all I need do is link the plethera of bad comments from various forums. I have a legitimate complaint, your comment is irrelevant because it has no backing, no structure, nothing supporting it other than your attack, maybe if you could post something to back up why and how the internet works and his specific computer works well on GW2 but not Diablo I could then see myself willing to give your opinion any weight, but the fact that you even call Comcast support to begin with makes me doubt your ability to educate us as to why some games work (all but d3) and not others ??? Here's a hint, it has to do with ports ... usually a good place to start anyway ... updated your firmware lately ?
