Time to take a break I think (for me)

Today shows that servers are still unstable, there is no reply about the net code situation, I have 200 RMTs on my black list, and AK queue was 63 minutes today.

That's gonna drive a LOT of people away from this game in the coming months.

That "awful net code" issue is probably my NUMBER ONE problem with the game at the moment. If SE could fix it... man, that'd be too fucking awesome.

As it is, there should be no .2-.5 second delay attached to every god damned thing you do in this game and right now there is. It's just slow and clunky.

Well, it's even more terrifying when you consider the fact that the current netcode is such a vast upgrade to what FFXIV 1.00-1.23 had, and it's still practically broken compared to most modern MMOs. And even some ancient ones...

I was just checking it out. The functionality is better, but it just looks bad which is unfortunate really because they spent a long time on it. (Yes, i know they had to go through and edit a bunch of old code and make it work.)

I play ps3 version everyday. No probs with lag or anything else whatsoever. Some fates get a bit cluttered but still Im golden

At this point I am seriously considering not continuing my subscription. I haven't had that much time to play, and each time, I've logged in, I've been greeted with RMT spam, teleporting botters and lag. After raiding hardcore in wow and eq for years, seeing here in the open world I apparently can't run out of red circles before I see them land due to our woeful latency, I really can't see me wanting to level to max and be useless in raid situations. With an average ping to the servers of about 250 from Australia, which apparently is fine for WoW, playing FFXIV feels slow and unresponsive. The fact that it seems to take almost a full second for a spell to start casting when I hit a button, and the fact that I can move 3/4 of the way into a cast and still have a spell fire off, just shows how woefully inadequate the server response times are. I had high hopes, I held off from ver 1.0 and I feel like I've been duped again.
