Okay I spoke to technical support with my ISP and they are unable to find any routing issues too the the IP's in question and queried with me why I thought this may be an issue. I explained somebody who works at Honda on an internet forum said its the problem, they stipulated that they would need some dialog or communication from the service provider namely SquareEnix in this case to be able to investigate further although they also communicated with me that its quite apparent that the service provider appears to be having issues providing their service, namely FF XIV ARR.

Soooo your focusing on the result of 204.62.14.156 as the issue it takes for my fishing rod to cast 10 seconds after I click the button. I havent seen this IP in other threads, its completely plausible it has nothing to do with FF XIV ARR whilst the ones that are certainly to do with ARR 199.91.189.74 & 199.91.189.21 both showed no routing issue whatsoever, nor do they ever, when ever i run those, however, conveniently you choose to look only at and spin the data as can be likened to some kind of damage limitation, public relations expert, and its a shame Square didn't employ Customer Service Advisors instead.

Raist you are ignoring evidence and precedent as thus.

In beta I had no issues whatsoever.

In Early Access I had major issues as did 100%(?) of the community re logging in because quite simply the servers could not cope to the point that SquareEnix stopped selling their product because they realised they had a major issue. Now I don't know how heavily involved your have ever been in the higher echelons of a business however, I can confirm it takes major problems for a firm to decide to stop selling its product.

Prior to last weeks maintenance everything was rosy, then after maintenance the problems started again, then after this weeks maintenance everything is fine again.

The evidence is plain to see that SquareEnix are doing something during their maintainence sessions that is alleviating and causing problems for users.

This is compounded by the fact they refuse to communicate and support their customers who made a financial investment with them regarding purchase.
