Wow, completely forgot about this thread for a week. My connection troubles have basically been non-existent since the patch last week, which is much better than I was expecting, tbh. To be fair though, I have gotten to log on maybe 3 times since then, and only once was during peak NA time. Spoon continues to be my most helpful resource in this game with his awesome tanking and willingness to rerun old content with me. Seriously, I'd be completely screwed without him.
