Why I stopped paying for FFXIV

[Billie21]

Game runs fine for hard (and extreme) modes under 200-300 MS latency

If you have more than that, you shouldn't be gaming, it's not SE's fault, you're not matching the minimum requirements

I have near recommended requirement, and notice a delay. Not just in primals, not just in battles I can't beat (I haven't encountered any point in game that I haven't been able to beat yet, though I haven't done everything yet either). Everywhere.

The game recommendations as far as internet connexion goes are the same for PS3, PC minimum, and PC recommended. It simply states "persistant broadband connexion".
Yet, Yoshida said that they "cannot make difficult content" playable with "3 digit ping".

Btw, and to reply to the OP, this is the reason why I stopped paying for this game, too.

this is the reason why i stopped paying and playing... i havent logged in for two weeks now and neither do most of my fc, almost 36 players down in one go... the game simply is not worth it, with this bad latency its unplayable, b ut pve screw it i can do it blind folded, now pvp when attacks dont register no matter what id o on top of the guy thats kiting me... now thats where the game tells me to quit... wildstar, elder scrolls online, blade and soul...and so on and on ... so many new mmos coming this year and probably much better designed why bother with an average mmo with bad server locations...
