This is FFXI/FFXIV it's not wow or fast step game that you need low ping like wow you need low ping for PVP and such but not really needed for FFXI/FFXIV type battle system.

i still want them to fix the lag issue tho lol

Have you ever tried an Ogre fight as a melee?
Ideally it should be really easy to do, every AoE has a quite long cast time and different casting animations, so you should be able to avoid/stun all of them, but everytime I try to do it I still get hit because of latency, and I react as soon as I see the mob casting on my screan.

They're clearely going for a dynamical type of battle, but at the current state it's already a fail, since you can't react when you see a skill coming, you just have to guess when it's coming and hope you're doing the right thing...

Seems like most people here are missing the point of this thread...

Replying to something that someone else said in the thread, possibly mistaking lag for something that is done on purpose; I thought this was relevant.

This is also on topic.
