Interacting with the Market Causes Massive Lag Spikes

[Katharos]

I opened up my market alt tonight only to be greeted with massive crippling lag spikes whenever I interacted with the market. I opened up netgraph and like clockwork, whenever I had a market interaction - if I stored something, if I posted something, if I claimed something, if I sold something - there was a corresponding red bump in my chart. If I exited the auction house and just moved around or did normal content, netgraph would stay in the green. Unfortunately this happened late at night in my TZ, so I couldn't get anyone around to confirm if this was local to me or a general problem to the game. 

These literally linked up to the second of any market interaction I performed.

 

You can see  exactly where I exited the AH window and decided to run off and bully some level 2 enemies.



Moreover, sometimes I can see I'm getting lag spikes in response to things I've sold on the market even when my window is closed - I see the "you have sold obliteration: damage" message in chat, and then a red bump appears on netgraph. This happened at 2331 Pacific, I don't know if that might have an impact.

It may take a while for a number of the devs to wake up and see this post. 🙂

 

One thing I will note, is they are on their temporary backup network infrastructure, still waiting for the hosting service to resolve the problem we had the other week; and they did say that some features, such as the markets, might be operating poorly on account.

 

Edit: I see from two days ago they went back to their primary vRack configuration, and have been monitoring it.

I’ve not experienced any of these spikes and since this post I’ve been monitoring it every time I’m logged in on my AFK farmers which means 17 hours a day.

 

Not sure why you are seeing them if I’m not?

It only did this for me the night I posted. I figure they made some server adjustments shortly thereafter.
