Everybody's having lag problems. Today, there's a huge thread in the forums where people (so far as I could tell from the first three pages, after which I lost interest) whine and bitch about their connection woes.
"I'm paying Blizzard how much a month, and they can't fix this??? I want my money back, waaaaaaaaah!!!"
I can understand being a little upset at not being able to access a paid service, but...have some sense of perspective, people!
a) It's a GAME. There are countless other things you could do to relax; if WoW is your only solace in life...my advice is to READ a BOOK. For ONCE.
b) Blizzard IS working on it; wouldn't you rather they spend their time fixing the problem, rather than reassuring your pitter-pattering heart that they are fixing it?
c) Reality check: You cannot make a system infallible by throwing enough money at it. No matter how much money you throw. Shit. Will. Happen. You name an MMORPG, there WILL have been problems with it, and there will CONTINUE to be problems with it. Nothing can be made perfect; you only try to make something "good enough."
