Can we talk about lag in the game?

Don't get me wrong. Lag will always be an issue in online games because of connectivity issues.
But Neverwinter has really problems.
For example loot drops on the ground generate a little bit of lag. You could watch this kind of behavior on the last Winter Event. Instances where player spammed their Gifts and Parsel Packs like crazy also lagged like hell.
AOEs always generate lags. The more AOEs in one fight the more rubberbanding you will experience. The best way to experience this is in the Kabal instance. I mean I like the basic design of the jumping puzzle but all these AOEs and push effects lead to a gigantic lag. I had over 3 seconds delay. Render it almost impossible to complete the jumping puzzle. And before someone screams it is my connection. I upgraded recently from 5 Mbit to 50 Mbit and nothing changed.
And I did the Kabal Instance with 4 other guild mates experiencing the exact same issues. And it is like i said not only the Kabal Instance, everywhere where AOEs are used it lags like hell and making the combat system of Neverwinter not really that entertaining. And don't get me wrong. I love the combat system in Neverwinter. But with such lags it is really....

RIP Real Tiamat, RIP Real Demogorgon RIP real Temple of the spider. Why remove non bis content to give to bis players ????
FORCING the majority of your player base to play 4 mod old dungeons and trial will have a bad result on player base
Changes are getting so bad i would rather prefer no new changes (RIP ICE FISHING in winter fest)
I had no issues with this till the introduction of the winter festival.
Since then I have had huge issues with lag and rubber banding that always ends with me wiping. This makes doing epic dungeons extremely difficult.
The constant server disconnects and server not responding is just horrendous.
All in all these issues make end game content a nightmare to get through, one lag or rubber banding and I am mobbed and dead once the server catches up.
These have got even worse since the river district has been added to the game.
It would be great to see some input from the developers as to how they are going to address these issues, as lots of players are experiencing these issues in my guild and alliance.
I love this game but find it very frustrating to play when I lag, rubber band or disconnect.
And just to back the OP up on this - I am running a 30mbps line with 3mbps upstream and a ping of 15ms, have an i7 4930k CPU with 16GB ram and run only SSD's in my machine so it aint on my side
Over the past 1.5 years I have probably spent upwards of $2k on this game and have 2 months left on my 6 month VIP but am starting to think about finding another form of stress relief as at the moment the LAG is only adding to my stress.
PLEASE let's talk about it
25 second sprints !!! awesome
rubber banding on epic scales !!!!
Then the game also severely suffers from connectivity. That's not the servers per se, but also an issue on their end, because they refuse to give players faster routes to the game.
It's really strange. Sometimes when I get one of those >2k ping periods, I randomly try one of the proxys and that resolves the issue. But I can't just permanently use the proxys because most of the time the direct connection is better. So I'm basically permanently switching proxys on/off on any given day to see what's working the best.
