Rubber Banding
So I've never played a game where rubber banding has been such a repeat issue. In all the MMO's I've played (WoW, CoH/CoV, Star Wars, Guild Wars 2, Marvel Heroes, Star Trek Online) there would be times when it would happen, though that was usually limited to once every month kinda thing. But with FF I seem to have it once every few days and it's really starting to dance on my last nerve. I'm not sure if square is hoarding all the money it's making and not working on their server issues or what..but it will only last so long before people get fed up and leave (thus from a business standpoint defeating the whole purpose of hoarding money because you will be losing some). For god sake please fix your servers! This is a fantastic game, but that only stretches so far before lack of quality gameplay trumps its content.

Ok, why blame SE on this when it's possible that your own hardware / connected / distance from game server could be in play?
what specs does you computer have? What speed of internet service do you recieve? Provider? And when you connect to your character screen before you login, what does it say for your connection to the server? Poor? Good? Excellent?
I ask this because I dont get this issue hardly ever at all, and have had maybe 5% of FC complain about this issue aswell.

I have Avast, but do not turn on the Firewall ever. I do however run with Windows Firewall. Not sure what other information you need but I don't have this lag or rubber banding problem with any other game.

You're going to have to pay for a VPN like I did. The problem is you're being routed through garbage level 3 which is something SE can't do anything about. I use mudfish personally.
