Making yourself lag

So two times now I have fought against a rogue that when you fight them, they suddenly lag all over the place, jumping from one place to another, and you can't target them or see where they are. When the fight is over, suddenly their connection seems to have cleared right up, running away without a single hiccup in his connection. What a coincidence. So I asked someone about it, and it seems that these cheaters are putting a load on their connection somehow to force the lag affect and make their character to jump all over the screen so you can't hit them. The entire time, they are just shredding me up and there is nothing I can do about it.
This has got to be a reportable thing, righ. I really wish I would have looked at their names, but they bounced so fast I couldn't even tell who was attacking me, let along see a name. it's a shame people have to resort to this crap to win. They should be banned.

If they were able to cause your combat log not to update then yeah, they definitely should get banned.
Hope Blizzard fixes the combat log issue.

Ive seen this too, many many times. Everyone around me moves normally. I move normally. My skills react normally... nothing points to connection problems from my side. Yet this melee character i am currently fighting keeps fricking blinking all around me being completely unhittable, as if he was using Clouds special attack frmo Final Fantasy 7. I would LOVE to know if that can be done on purpose, and if those people can be reported.
edit: love the wise@ss comment about Killing Spree.

lol It's very obvious its not KS or SS, the reason why is there was no one else in sight, and when it's a single target, KS makes the person stay behind you, not bouncing around in front of you etc. I was a KS rogue for a few weeks while leveling, so I am familiar.

Might be
this trick
, but probably not, as it affects their screen as well...
That's very similar to how he bounced, it appeared to be a lag "bouncing", but it was SO FAST. It wasnt near as slow as the vid, he literally bounced non-stop for 15 seconds or longer and must have bounced 20+ times during the fight.

Thats because he must have poped Sprint with it.

Some times when rogues sprint, your game does not respond as fast. Have you ever seen someone on an epic mount with a speed increase and they just kinda "bounced around" for a few seconds 9 mabey 6-8) and then they were back to normal.
Who says its only a rogue. Ive had Paladins, Feral Druids, Warriors and Death Knights blinking all around.

no, this guy used rocket boots after he killed me to get away and he suddenly stopped "lagging". If Sprint does it, but rocket boots don't, that isn't the case.
BTW, there was no sprint graphic either, indicating he had sprint on, like the little wind tail you get.
I am telling you, he somehow forced his connection to lag or used some kind of macro to do it. He opens, everything is fine, then I get out of cheap shot and then suddenly I can't touch him,, then I am dead and he takes off and all is fine with him again. It's not a coincidence.

I have had this too, with a Warrior, so no chance of Sprint or any other Rogue skill. He casted stuff like Bladestorm and even though I was away I got hit by it because he just bounced everywhere. When I try to slow him down or kite I got things like: You need to be in front of the target, I should have just spamhealed I think because with such lag one cannot time an interrupt right?

Let me help out some people. Some times it is just a serious lag issue. The other day, it happened to me in the middle of a bg. I came out of pounce on a priest and 3 guys attempted jump me at this point 4 more horde and alliance came over, suddenly I was lagging like crazy on my screen they weren't moving fast and I was stopping and starting, but on thiers I was moving so quickly no one could target me. It lasted the entire time the fight was on until eventually I was killed. I stayed alive for ever in Bear and cat form, though it took a good 5-6 seconds to change form. It was the most ridiculous lag I have ever had.
A friend who was with me was laughing, as the horde were dieing left and right when I could get to them, and I was not getting hit. However on my screen it was showing me unable to hit anyone. Eventually the horde overwhelmed me, and killed me off, but I was alive with 5-10 guys chasing me trying to kill me. Unfortunately, I didn't know if I was killing them or not, and from my friends screen I was super fast, while on my screen it showed me stopping and starting and stopping and starting. I didn't use any macro it was just extended lag.

Skip to 1:55 and watch Fiveshot on Mercader's screen
. 2:10 - 2:15 is the best example.
I think that's what the OP is talking about.
