Thats not how WOW works. I am routinely in fights much larger than the "100 cap" you reference. And not only do the animations and graphics render well and timely but there is literally no lag. I push a button in the middle of the crowd and within 1 second the action takes place. Why cant EVE do that or even come close. With EVE you push a button and maybe, maybe 1-2 minutes later it works.
And you say CCP is very interested in fixing the problem then I would argue they either have incredibly inept people working on it or are just flat out lying. I personally have been waiting almost 4 years now for it to get better. The scary part is it has only gotten worse.

I had to read this a few times to get it, and then I did something I haven't done in years, I pressed quote!
first of all, Eve didn't have such crippling lag before capitals were introduced, or at least in my experience plus what I've heard from players I know.
Second, you sound like a dedicated "WOW" player which leads me to think that you've played "WOW" since day one!
Were you by any chance forced to buy a new computer when you started playing "WOW"?
If so, then your old comp was probably the Laggy part when u played EVE 4 years ago!
And EVE evolved into capital warfare while you played "WOW", am I right?
EVE can't be compared to other MMO's because of how fundamentally different it is from other games! (one cluster)
I have only recently noticed the horrid lag thad people are talking about, Jita isn't worth mentioning since it's our market "capital"!
This lag that I'm referring to has been happening in Verge Vendor, Red vs Blue, and a fight in cist before that.
Capital fleet fights is something that I'm not familiar with because I was in 0.0 just as they were entering the game and were a rare sight, which only strengthens my opinion on Capitals and the fleet around them being a major lag fest.
Resources have probably been taken from areas within the game that aren't straining the servers, then Verge becomes a gank fest for a number of party's and ppl like me feel the lag, and I'm talking about the same lag that you are complaining about.
bahh i could go on and on, but I'll just be patient as ever and ride it out until IBM and CCP have put together they'r supercomputer :)
