I didnt have a problem with lag until about a week ago. There have been several updates and bam, lag. And it won't go away. Can't even craft without lag. Forget Titan hardmode. Tried it with our FC two nights ago, just couldn't happen, the lag was so bad. Every dungeon has lag now.

So, say what you want about providers, and IP addresses, the pings, etc. I have not changed my provider and the game worked. Three members of my household play this game. Logic says if we didn't have a problem until one week ago (after updates), and we never changed providers, the problem is with Square Enix. And as a lay person who just gets on the internet and expects it to work, I never realized I had to have a computer science degree to play FFXIV. This lag is getting old real fast.
