This has been talked about in Riverside Inn some, but I feel it needs posting here. Guild Wars servers have never been great, but they worked in the past; however, after the last update, a great many people, including myself, and many of my guildies/friends, have been experiancing huge lag spikes and disconnects, CONSTANTLY.
This SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP!
Any other issues you may be experiencing with the servers recently, please post it here, so they might be fixed by Anet.
Server Lag

I agree. I'm getting quite irritated that whenever they ( anet reps) talk about it they imply that it is ISP's or reoters are the problem. While I agree that both of these can be problems. I find it hard to beleive that when I experience the lag problems, my ISP or my reoter is causing my Guildmates and in game friends to experience the lag also.
3 Ideas I have on the cause.
1: Anet's streaming content. Everytime you play now anet is streaming factions and update content to you ( so all they have to do is unlock it when needed) Meaning you are playing and downloading content at the same time.
2: Hackers. After playing online games in the past, one of which was counterstrike. It is well known people who use hacks lag the server, causing everyone on that server to lag more than normal.
3: Lag Hackers. For anyone unfamiliar with this, it is people who purposly lag out their connection to cause others to lag incredibly causint them to either drop or stop playing.
Just thoughts. But please enough of the "It's your ISP/Reoter" responce

I agree that not all of the problem is Anet's, but when your entire team (scattered from coast to coast on different servers) gets disconnected in the middle of a mission I can only point the finger at Anet.
