Armory is Horrible

Getting through the armory pages is harder, and takes longer, than most raid instances. It's terrible. Everything you do requires loading and waiting. I know WoW is all about waiting, but now even the website?

Is there a way to see all this info without all the loading...like using a standard webpage without all the Ajax or whatever is being used?

First, I hope you don't mind me saying that your choice of word to describe the Armory as "horrible" is a bit of an exaggeration don't you think? Your issue is the speed of the load not the actual use and functionality of the Armory so your title is overstated and misleading to what you feel the real issue is that is plaguing you.

The reason I point this out is because the Armory is still a work in progress and considered still in beta. By knowing what issues are prevalent in its use, it helps the web team track them down and hopefully get them resolved. It's important to be very clear about what issues people are having and what possible things could be causing them. We are most definitely continuing to collect feedback on the performance of the Armory as well as the features that people would like to see in the future so please feel free to do so.

I just wanted to follow-up quickly to clarify something. I've seen many people on here saying that we must not be aware of the concerns over the speed of the Armory which is not true. We are definitely aware and are working to improve the speed as we speak. There is still some testing that is being run to make sure that the optimization is effective and working well, but it is definitely a work in progress.
