Is Laggswitching still a thing?

I had a claudette that every time I had her on my shoulders, her ping was going up to 900 and I couldn't hook her. I was just standing in front of a hook, starting the animation but it got canceled. Grabing and dropping her would lock me in animation for 10 seconds or longer. It happened every time.

She had Unbreakable and Soul Guard and escaped with the hatch with a key. How is this still a thing? I know that this was a planned thing because they were swf and called me all the slurs and how bad I am.

I thought we have those servers to stop things like this? How is this still possible and abusable?
