Ok. Since people want to blame SE for things that are not related to them or the game, I would like to make a few demands as well, fee free to include your own!
1) the fan on my PS3 seems to be getting obnoxiously louder as time goes on.
2) housing: my upstairs neighbors who occasionally drop things or jump or do something that makes a loud bang noise while I'm in the midst of trying to take aggro away from my healer. Seriously, do you know how frustrating that is??
I demand you send someone to tell my neighbor to knock that crap off!
3) while we're on the topic of noise, my cars exhaust has a hole in it that makes It sound louder than necessary, forcing me to make my music louder so I don't have to hear it.
Send someone ASAP to patch my exhaust hole, maybe we can make it a part of the next game "patch?" So it seems legit. Yes, that's how we can relate the two.
4) Speaking of patches, my favorite t-shirt has seen better days and has some holes in it as well. Think we can maybe put my FC patch on it? I'll even pay the 100 gil to apply it on. Yes, that's how we can make this your fault..
5) those damn undercutters on the
mb are making it impossible for me to make a living wage. I mean, seriously?? Do they know I have chocobo mouths to feed??
6) speaking of my Choco, he's starting to smell, regardless of how many times we clean the stable at my FC estate. Make him stop smelling WITHOUT making him feel bad about it, as if it's his fault you didn't implement a way to wash him.
7) regarding the housing wards, I constantly have neighbors running around my lawn and using our FC Striking Dummy WITHOUT requesting permission! I demand SE puts up Electric Fences around FC estates to shock the hell out of any hooligans who trespass on our property!
Also: an addendum, make a "Get off my Lawn!" Emote to be able to use in combination with the said fence shocking. (IE: /shakefistlawn)
Oh! And while we're on the topic of this riff raff, what the heck do I pay the MB taxes for if the Eorzean Police Force never makes
patrol rounds on the Housing wards?? Instead of acting like NPCs maybe they should do their jobs and put a stop to this nonsense!
8) and finally! Stop making me turn into a grumpy old man!:mad:

You shouldn't be losing aggro to your healer in the first place. Baddie.

Great thread mocking people with lag issues... You do know that backbone providers are to blame for most of it... And that it is SE's responsibility to deal with them... Seeing as SE is paying them for the service that allows our isp's to connect to their servers.

Hopefully 2.4 comes soon so people won't be bored enough to do lazy parody threads

What a dumb post. I don't think it should be my job to call Comcast / Verizon / whatever other services don't work to ask that FxIV work without paying for WTFast, or any individuals. Square should be making sure large volumes of players are taken care of by hashing this out themselves.
I've already wasted far too much time to get to play at all, and it really is a turnoff when FFXIV is the only game I have ever played with these problems. At some point it really is the game, and not me. -
10-03-2014, 12:30 AMTiggyNo one is saying it's you. It's comcast, verizon, level3, etc. There are more parties in this scenario than just SE and yourself. There is no need to get defensive about it. Also people are saying to contact your ISP (which is something you can do and should do) and show them tracert data not the backbone providers themselves. This is so that they can hammer the issue from the ISP side as well as Square hammering from their side. This is a problem completely created by companies that own the internet. They are extorting people for more money. Simply expecting SE to fix that extortion is unrealistic and it's not going to happen. They don't have as much money as Netflix to just throw money at the problem, and that doesn't even take into account that square shouldn't have to throw more money at the problem.Quote:

Lastly, If you've wasted time then leave. No one is stopping you. Your lack of a subscription says just as much to SE as this post, but with far less attention seeking from the community. -
10-03-2014, 12:37 AMMiitanI used to get these issues playing Aion, Perfect World Online,Tera and numerous other MMOs. FFXIV is a lot better than all of them lag-wise, so do I win a cookie?Quote:

It doesn't matter who made the server, who runs the server, or what the game is. The only thing that matters is location. -

You've got 99 problems and lag ain't one? :p
Also (going by statement 6), you're turning into a Doman. May want to get that checked... xD -

I'm not talking just about lag, I need a service to even log in. Are you saying you had to pay for services like WTfast on other games to play at all? All games get lag at times but this is over the top.
The "just leave" argument is juvenile and really won't help Square catch up to netflix to deal with problems. When people buy things like collectors editions it was because they wanted to play the game. There was no warning that the game would not be accessible to the degree it was when I bought this.
I sincerely doubt refunds are available for people that had played the game but are sick of the extra 6 dollars a month to log in.
Either way I cancelled my auto renewal this morning. -

10-03-2014, 12:52 AMMiitanIf you need a service even to log in, you've got serious ISP issues and you need to get them to resolve it but if you're leaving anyway, don't let the door hit you on the way out.Quote:

LOL. Never seen a community so excited to get rid of players while "Is this game dying?" threads are on page 1. Good luck!
-
10-03-2014, 01:25 AMCGMidlanderThere is a reason why ISPs has tech support. Sometimes issues do arise and if an ISP's client suspects that there is something the ISP can do on their end to alleviate it, they have a way to work things out with the ISP.Quote:

10-03-2014, 01:43 AMZantitrachBecause its not the game's nor SE's fault. And you're leaving anyways. Oh, and as stated people have tried to tell you what the issue is, but you're not listening.Quote:
