This game seems to be slowly degrading into an unplayable mess. Teleporting enemies and rubber-banding enemies in every activity is getting more common. Ridiculously long load times for the tower are becoming the norm. Long pauses just to see the stats on a weapon or view a shader happen more often than not. DIM gives the message "bungie.net is slow right now" almost constantly, making the loadout feature unusable unless you want to take a five-minute break while your loadout changes. All this is happening with a dwindling player base, so I just know it will get worse with the new season and much worse when the new expansion hits next year. Is Bungie even trying to improve things?

Unfortunately connection issues are typically not Bungie or your connection. It is between your ISP and Bungie. Partially due to D2 networking code. traceroute seems to show issues with Cloudfire controlled routers when network connections slow. It is amazing all the hops your data makes from a to b. Nobody talks about these middlemen. Users will see performance drops on everything is tied to local equipment.
