Abysmal Lag Spikes

I die do to lag probably twice a day. Every mech will be walking in place for full minute, so my only option is to try to run to what I think is a safe place, and the game will either leap forward with me usually dead, or it doesn't right itself and I have to 'Quit Match' -> hit 'Rejoin', and I come back, usually dead or soon to be.
btw my ping is usually in the 60s.

Last week we had a whole server shutdown for no reason. Couldn't even log in to the game. Once we could log in again, our group failed to find a match. Then half our group lost connection to the server again not even 20min after the first crash. Even the forums were ungodly slow at the time.
Every 3-4 games I experience rubberbanding (often leading to my death), and every 8-10 games the entire server just crashes and everybody in the game experiences it.
The servers have LITERALLY never been this terrible before. It's been an issue that popped up a few patches ago and seems to be getting steadily worse.
With the $500 I gave you, I could almost build my own server, so where exactly is all the money going from all the other players? If the servers are getting overtaxed and/or old then you need to purchase new servers! How can you justify that players have to spend premium time (real money) in order to do private matchmaking because of the "servers," when you yourselves can't even maintain the normal servers that everybody uses?

Yep. The issue still persists. How many pages does this topic have to go to get some PGI attention and responce?

Yeah, the lag is incredible. I really hope their optimizations, whatever they may be, rectify the issue. It's been absolutely insane lately, and it's no fun at all having a match go your way only to have the entire game seize up completely and irredeemably.
Methinks an extension of the All or Nothin' Hero sale might ease the pain of waiting somewhat. :-p

Why not just delete the whole forum, http://mwomercs.com/theplan and leave a paid phoneline they don't respond to?
What's the point of the forum youthink? To comphensate for the abscence of any decent in-game community loby, coms and etc.? So we can connect better with the rest of community?
We're the ones that gives them something in their dishes to eat remember?
So what now? I should track twitter/facebook/some other crappy social network so I am aware of their statements that for some reason they don't post on their own OFFICIAL forum?
Btw just came out of a game in which I got a lag spike just when I was running for cover from the 3 enemy LRM boats - guess how much fun I got - it's ~5th or 6th time for this evening.
I am not silly.
I am someone who gave money to support them and guess how much support I got this far for the issue I'm complaining about for the last week or so(minding that - I waited about a bit more than a week to "give them time to fix it").
Like it or not - f2p games don't live way too long without people investing in them - and I've invested quite a lot this far.
Nobody pushed me to do it - but when you pay for something ordinary you expect something in return(at least in the game industry that is) right?
The current game state is not enough in return for me and I'm not one responsible for that.
It is not cause half of the games those ~15 secs of desyncs are ruining the rest of my matches.
I am feeling insulted - like a simple official statement concerning this, without dramatisation and stuff, kinda quite huge issue, on their official forum it's waaaay too big deal for a developer?
And all that without counting what was said ~2 years ago, about the subjective-deadlines they kinda not even stood behind with solid promises and words...
Yea you're right - I am a really silly person.

Well, I dunno. That was a pretty silly rant. Past the melodrama, you do have a cogent point. Excise the doomsaying and irrationality, and BAM - the silliness is gone.
