Neterr=7 ... Bandwidth managing ... fake error?

Lately it's been lagging alot on GW-Europe, not only for me... for almost everyone.

I never had this error before until the laggy-days started so it's not my internet.

A few minutes ago ... me and my WHOLE party got booted out of UW we all got Neterr=7.

I'm kinda thinking that the creators of GW made this error as a 'cover' for some "bandwidth managing" process.

In other words players are automatically kicked out by that process before it overloads the bandwidth of the servers.


This is just my look on it, it becomes laggier and suddenly more Neterr=7, I had no other problems, I was able to log back in instantly.

What do you guys think? =/

There have been similar cover-ups with other things before, fake errors to cover up something like that.

I've just got that EXACT error I'm so annoyed, I was at the Facet of Strength (last facet) on my 2nd character (W/Mo - lvl 20) and then my whole team got error'd out ffs.

[edit]
Then got Error 40 then...
Now I'm back in, the whole of everyone in Dragon Lair's are like "WTF DID GW JUST CRASH OMFG"

P.S. Yeah, I am in Europe.

I doubt it's a conspiracy to cover up anything. Chances are, EU servers are just having technical problems.

Well it makes me wonder since the fixes for the problem are all CLIENT-related, and since I don't have problems with my internet and everything has worked well before it seems kinda weird to me.

Well...
I get error7 several times too...
But this is a pattern I've found.
When the new update is released, I usually get error7s. After awhile, it settles and I don't get this error.

So now, when the new update is out...I usually travel around towns by myself till I get about 3 to 5 error7 disconnection. When it seems to settle, I start travel with group of people
Works all the time so far ^^

I know this is "not" a solution to problem...but really...it's better then get error7 during the mission and cause trouble to teammates right?

I don't get those errors in cities... most of the time while farming or something.

I get them a lot and I'm with the Europe servers. The other day I got err 7 but stayed connected to TS so it couldn't have been my connection. This makes me really hesitant about joining UW/FOW teams in case I lag out coz it'd mess up the party I'm in.

I doubt that it's some sort of conspiracy, too. Nevertheless, it would help if the error messages would include an actually MEANINGFUL text and not basically just a number which only the devs really know what it's standing for.

I'm unhappy, I've been getting random Neterr=7's ever since the update, and not before then. I'm playing fine, everything's running smoothly, not a bit of lag, and then it just boots me suddenly.

Periodically, my ISP has horrible connection issues, but it's rarely linked to spontaneous connectivity loss, if ever. When I d/c due to that, it's major packet loss causing severe desync, rubber banding, lag, and THEN an err=7.

I've been told by 4 other people thus far that they're experiencing the same problem since the update as well.

yeah, its really easy to pinpoint exactly where the drop was between you and anet. i mean, its not like theres more than a dozen hops or anything.

I'm getting regular err=7 about 3-10 min into my game on a regular basis; it has ruled out any questing or pvp team play (other than random arena). In short, it has made the game unplayable.

A few weeks ago (before the recent bug fix to prevent server crashes), I would have some serious lag on occasion... but I wouldn't drop. Now I don't experience any lag; it just drops my connect at the first sign of trouble. Before it was a bit painful to play; now it is impossible. The game server should be a bit more robust than this.

If anything will kill arena.net it's the network connectivity they have; not the content, or anything else. At the minimum, they should allow me to "reconnect" to the instance that I got d/c from, so that I can rejoin my party.
