I feel as if SE is using FFXIV as a cash cow and milking it for all its worth. SE has a lot of IP's and as such allocates resources from one thing to another, my guess being FFXV and KHIII. This game shouldn't be suffering as bad as it should in today's gaming markets and baffles me with how much infrastructure issues it has. You would think that with a monthly sub they could at least afford to fix the server lag.

When SE stopped being a game studio/developer and started becoming a corporate conglomerate that franchises anything and everything is becoming more and more of a reality.
