We've all experienced Loot Lag. That thing that happens to everyone at the exact same time. Where if you're hunting and loot a mob, nothing happens you go on and kill several with the same thing happening then after a minute or two, a butt load of loot suddenly appears as the loot machine started working again.
Or when crafting and it stops at 99% of your click, and then in a minute or two you get your drop and crafting returns to normal.
Or when mining when your finder stays on searching and you can't put it away and kill the mobs that are attacking you or jump in your sleipnir or basically do anything until the loot machine starts coughing up loot again.
So hunters get to keep on trucking, crafters get mildly annoyed (but not attacked by mobs at least) and the red-headed step-children of Entopia, miners, get shafted.
Why? I'm going to quote me from another thread...
It's hard to ride that wave when you cannot drop probes. It porks your drop timing, it wrecks your search patterns.
So, I believe Loot Lag does negatively impact miners and costs us claims and ped.
Your thoughts?

I'll add and WHEN the handle gets pulled.I wholeheartedly believe that hit rate is wave based and when you are riding the crest, you can't drop probes fast enough. I don't believe that honeycombing is an effective method anymore. If you drop every 110m, you are missing A LOT of claims. And we all know that it's not about if you are putting nickles or quarters in the slot machine, but how many times the handle gets pulled.
