Increased natural lag on EU due to no local servers.

Yet there is a bunch of people in this game that play with 300+ms and none of us are screaming like spoiled brats because we can't get out of AOE damage. You will never find an Australian (or New Zealander) that has any sympathy for your piddling 100ms latency. That does not make us white knights or fanbois.
Learn to compensate for latency, it will make you a better player.

Or whine and demand a server in your backyard. Because 100ms is hard right?

Yes, clearly you are better players than all of us, since you win every major gaming tournament out there.

Other than the ridiculous lagspikes every evening, I have no latency problems as well. This is still a legitimate complaint.

Casting seems to affect this quite a bit. When I start running while I cast, the toon will still complete like 1 second of cast animation, then send the signal that the cast was interrupted, and then starts running. Which means that while my client shows me that I'm out of the circle for 2 seconds already, the server considers me still inside. And this - not 300 ms ping - is unacceptable. Regardless of whether you're in Australia or not.

What you are referring to here is an already known and accepted bug. See this post: Link here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...s-everybody%29 It has absolutely nothing to do with ping/latency. Having a server in your backyard will not fix this.
This bug affects everyone, regardless of geographical position.

But this is also quite different than what some others were complaining about, which was their latency/ping. For those....I have no sympathy at all.

I suspect your issue is a completely different issue and has to do with how UK ISP's are dealing with FFXIV:ARR. There have been numerous threads about it, and I think there is a sticky as well.
If it is not that, there is an issue affecting SOME players all over the world giving them horrendous lag spikes. Again having servers in Europe will not fix this issue.
