Why the netcode issue exists, and why it cannot be fixed.

Does not sound like a fix in my book. I am not going to tolerate that 0.3s lag in any area whatsoever, because I am used to quality in my mmos. Of course this is only an angry rant since I've already stopped playing, but now it's clear it won't ever be worth coming back.

I personally expect them to do something about it in the long run, but *if* it happens, it will take time.
That they are doing something on such a short notice is at least encouraging, and will help some people wait a bit longer.

Completely agree!

We're paying for a service not promises.

I really wanted to give SE another chance. I loved FFXI and actually had a fun time in FFXIV 1.17 and up until they closed the servers down... For being a huge re-make and a re-designed engine and all that, I expected 2.0 to fix all of these "delay" and "network" issues, yet here they are.

My goodness SE, what the eff happened? 2.0 just isn't up to par. It's too bad.

I'll quote my favorite post from these boards regarding this "delay" and "network" fiasco:

WoW has a fluidity and responsiveness that a many recent high-profile games (TOR and ARR especially) simply lack.

How any development staff can sit down and say "Let's make a hotkey, tab-target MMO" and then expend zero effort in nailing combat absolutely boggles my mind. WoW exists. It's easily accessible. It's free until level 20. Have your devs play it. If your WoW-like game feels sluggish and laggy compared to WoW, then you need to start over. You don't release a game with a similar monthly fee while offering what is clearly mechanically inferior to WoW. The final kicker is ARR even managed to have a terrible tab-target system, too! How do you even mess up tab-target? How?!? SE knows, apparently.

Sums it all up really. If SE isn't going to fix this stuff, the game is probably not worth playing, honestly. All this should of been polished up from the start actually. You'd expect more from a company we all love and grew up with. Not to mention they have years of MMO developing experience...

SE won't be getting anymore subscription money from me. I've cancelled my renewals. Maybe.. just MAYBE, I'll see how the game is 6 months to a year from now.
