What causes -you- to lag?

[Arcon]

So it's your fault. And yours alone.

Wrong, it's SE's fault for poorly coding fluxes and similar constructs. A ten year old game should not require a PC that costs more than a used car to run properly.

Also, if you buy a 3k PC for FFXI you have the brains of a deck chair. This is the worst advice I've heard anyone give someone else on these forums.
