Bug Type: Gameplay, Latency



Brief Bug Summary:

In the recent update to v.177, it was said that the massive amount of lag that existed when looting many items would be addressed, however after nearly a month I have yet to notice any difference. The lag is still unbearable and the majority of the time I have to play without looting anything at all if I don't want to be frozen for minutes on end.



Given the fact that many events and quests ask you to loot a number of drops, this lag severely hinders your ability to complete these events in a timely manner, and results in a very negative experience playing the game overall.



I, and many others, would very much like to see this issue actually addressed in the next patch.



Steps to Reproduce:

Loot a large number of items with pets, screen freezes for anywhere from 1-30s at a time depending on how many items are being looted.
