How very unfortunate for FFXIV:ARR to be connected to so many unreliable ISPs that keep their players (from all over the world, east and west coast US and all over the map betwixt the two, Canada, England, Japan, Malaysia, Kuwait and all points in between) who play the game on consoles and computers, through Steam and not, from connecting to the game at the SAME TIME...
Gosh, what horrible, completely coincidental, luck for such a large company! They must just be heartbroken for all those poor customers that just happen to be connected to them through such a shoddy system.
Maybe they should contact other game companies who aren't having such a large scale and widespread issue and see if they can't find out why their games are fine but sadly it seems the interwebs doesn't want FFXIV customers to play their game anymore?
Poor SQ-ENIX, all those ISP's ruining their player's ability to play their game...maybe its a conspiracy! And here I am, all out of tinfoil to make a protective hat....
FIX IT!
