I've recently started having the problem of consistently high latency, something I've never had a problem with. I'm playing on the NA server but am located in SEA. The ping would normally be around 200+, but recently has spiked consistently over 999 even in areas with hardly any players around. This persists even with no addons or firewall active.
I followed the steps posted by ZOS and then ran my own ping test on pingtest.net to Dallas where the servers are supposedly located. The ping test shows a ping of 200, consistent with what I'm used to having. However, the game performance shows otherwise.
I would appreciate any advice on how to fix this, as the lag is making the game unplayable. Thanks a lot.
