I haven't seen any problem with loot lag in 2 days. Anyway, simple server maintanance and restarts would not solve the issue. What happens is that the item database gets stuck updating too many items at once, and a queue starts to build up. Once the item you looted gets processed, you're free to go again. Once the queue is cleared out, the game works fine until too many items are needed to be processed again.
If the issue is solved at it's core -> making item processing faster, they'll be no queue or very short queues. But simple server resets and such won't make it better at all.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
