Wow Patch 7.2 Problems

Wow Patch 7.2 Problems

For the past several days I have been blaming my poor computer for the terrible problems I've been having with Warcraft. I even put blame on the wireless mouse since sometimes the mouse flows smoothly but at other times it jerks, jolts, and stutters to a stop unexpectedly. I blamed the NVIDIA card despite that every test shows there is no problem with the video card.

Last night it took five minutes for the game to load, and when it finally did load it was so sluggish it was impossible to play. This problem seems to get worse every day. I finally went hunting for answers. The short answer points to this latest patch, 7.2. Multiple players are reporting the same issues on the forums. Everyone is complaining but so far no solution or explanation. There are some who think NVIDIA drivers are the problem, but an equal number say they are running the newest drivers and that isn't the issue. Nor is it an issue between Windows 7 (my version) or Win 10. Both are having the same issues. I've read through post after post on the tech forum and heard from two game masters trying to help and not a single person has noted any solution or even an idea what is wrong. Last night I tried to enter Naxramas after half crashing trying to fly to it. Naxramas started out partly playable and then it became unplayable. BAD. Very bad.

Chaitee is having her own troubles with bag sales. She's not selling any. Well, she isn't selling any at the price Chaitee wants. To be specific. She isn't budging because the prices continue to fall, and chasing falling prices is bad business. The Auction House may find itself selling three different bags for essentially the same price. Note that Chaitee is able to use the AH in game. That leads me to believe even more that the issue is the patch. Stormwind isn't perfect, but it's playable. Dalaran isn't playable.

Embersilk Bags:    385 gold
Satchel Bags          395 gold
Frostweave Bags    291 gold (price had earlier jumped to a record high 341 gold)

The distinction in bag sizes might be becoming irrelevant to buyers and are willing to buy the cheapest bag whether it has 20, 22, or 24 slots.

That's why Sista was trying to get into Naxramas for the infinite dust and frostweave mats needed to make the cheapest bag. Sista came out of Naxramas bloodied and frustrated, but she did have some success.

Even now, this morning, the system is so slow that Sista was unable to sort the goods she got from Naxramas. She could not even move things around in the bags. Something has to be done.
