Feed back for the devs and a compromise from the community.

What exactly do you mean by QoL changes? Or when people just say "fix spaghetti code" what exactly would that include? What exactly is it that they can't fix as they pump out new content as well? Coming from ESO, honestly this game is so, so much better (ex. just the fact that group finder works, I can log in properly without constantly getting disconnected, and there's not as many server problems.) and I don't know what specific stuff need to be prioritized like you say?

Everyone has lag in FFXIV. Thats why it isn't as noticeable. Ever notice how people move outta AoEs and still get hit by them? Etc. Its the bad net code. That Yoshi P has said himself that they would love to go back in and fix, but like the resources, manpower, and time to do it

Would you be willing to have an expansion with less upfront content, but more back end and quality of life updates.

They said it would be an expansion worth of effort to go in and fix the code and servers to really do the cool stuff they wanna do in the future.

I would be okay with that! We could maybe not have a 24 man on expansion, or maybe not as many beast tribes. We would have to make concessions, but I think for the game's future? It would be worth it.

No... please no.

If they were to fix the net code so the server ticks aren't a thing to play around? I think that would be awesome.

1. Fix the net/server code.
Examples Please. Whats wrong with the Coding, and what do they need to fix?
Will fixing it be worth delaying more content, and will it not destroy or hurt something else?

2. Fix the Engine for higher res character models.
The game is Pretty enough, we dont NEED Higher Rez models. Plus consider the resources that would be needed to maintain it, and Animate it constantly across the board.

Have you also factored in other peoples Internet Connections and Latency?
It might not just be on FFXIV's end

Literally its a well knownf act dating back to 1.0 its the server code. That's one thing that can't be argued.

Zoom into your hands and feet and then see if you feel the same. Also not model updates..just texture updates. Zero animation involved.

You realize 1.0 had other issues right, like only having servers located in japan, as well as all ui actions being server side.

Thats one of the few things that carried over was the server ping. They fixed just about everything else by getting rid of the ps3 and soon 32 bit clients so they wont be as limited

What they need to do is hire more people instead of spending millions to make an avengers game and a 20 year DLC game (FFVII remake)
