Seriosly, this is pathetic.

Having to wait more than 1 min for AH to refresh? Or even show up those stupid featured auctions?

It happens only on EU servers. Also i noticed i have better preformance on US servers than EU servers (even if i live in Europe). What i think about it? That you made those silly EU servers just to 'PRETEND' you care about EU players and to stop us complaining about lack of EU servers. Those 4 bars we get on EU servers is just for placebo effect to make us shut and be happy from "new eu servers"

OOO you took a crapload of new players with that silly steam achievment, you took crapload of $$$ from winter promo pack yet you cant support that amount of players and you even dont upgrade servers><

simple solution

Very easy solution to your problem: do your auction housing and trading on the US servers(you already do this anyway, since I've seen you in town trading on the US Havens, so I'm not quite sure why you're complaining here). Having two bars of latency as opposed to four isn't much of a problem in town.

Many players don't grind the Auction House for every last possible crown, so having slightly longer refresh times is not as much of an issue. What is an issue is lag in the Clockworks, which affects almost everyone. OOO managed to alleviate some of these issues by offering EU servers which reduced lag for those players in the Clockworks.

No solution is perfect, but I believe that the EU servers being implemented was a big step in the right direction.

As an aside, I feel like the tone in your post is overly hostile, and many of your posts and threads on these forums have a similarly negative tone. Why are you so angry? You should look at yourself in the mirror and remind yourself that you are awesome today, instead of making all those frowny faces.

Random Zelda is random?

Random Zelda is random? Missing main problem here?

You want to sell something or buy, first thing you do is to check AH to see if you can get it cheaper or sell for more there. You click AH and then what? It takes more than 1 minute to load up those stupid featured auctions. Then what? another 2 minutes to just do a search of what you need and then next 2 minutes to sort it from cheapest to most expensive.

Adding that up gives at least 3-5 minutes of waiting. Sure, some ppl can wait that, sending to the buyer/seller "wait plx" "wait more plx".... but some sellers/buyers are in haste or just they are lack of patience and will ignore you then. So you will end up without buying/selling what you wanted or being scammed becouse you couldnt check that you could get it for less on AH or get more CR if you would sell it on AH.

Err, the EU server only counts for dungeons, am I not right?

Whether you have your options set on EU or US, it doesn't matter. Haven's are the same, aren't they?

Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

hmm

I think it is mostly Java performance issue rather than lag/latency.
I upgraded my PC recently, and while before it would take several seconds, up to halm minute to open a dialog like the AH, or the character with , now it takes less than 5 secs for the same tasks, regardless the server region. YMMV.

@Stavrosg, you are mistaking

@Stavrosg, you are mistaking the problem - while this happens we can chat with other people, etc, the game isn't frozen for that period of time, it seems to be a massive delay on the relays between the hub and EU servers.

Its like that since they

Its like that since they introduced Explorer Pack. Before i havent had any problems with AH refresh time.

Also its affecting mail and trade. It can take now up to 1 minute to complete trade (after both sides clicked confirm). Also it takes a lot of time to load up inbox and it takes some time to get items from mails (in example, you click accept and delete and cash from mail appears after minute or two). Same with crafting, crafting window freezes for like minute or two (not game, just window, everything outside still works, ppl talk, walk etc.)

I have experienced this

I have experienced this problem. Changing Havens usually solve it, but the times that has worked could have been a coincidence. Everyone should try it and see if it works.

I use EU and I never had these problems. Maybe I should check it out to be sure.
