Currently the issue is not as bad as in that gif, but it's not 100% fixed either.
Nowhere did I say all net issues are player side. However, as is very apparent for those of us with solid connections to the servers. There's minimal issues with the servers itself. Dodging AoE can be done without flaw for example. So gain there is going to be very minimal to non-existing by increasing server-side polling.

Net issues at player homes, within player ISP's networks or en route to the servers however will not be impacted by increased server-side polling.

The only thing increased server-side polling is truly good for is making a competitive environment more rely on player reflexes than sever-side delay. On skills with 2 - 3 seconds cast timings that is irrelevant. Nor is it of importance for improving a player-versus-player environment as that is next to non-existent in FFXIV.
