The single biggest issue holding back FFXIV needs to be specifically addressed.

[Chain]

This is just one of those issues we won't get a response on, they'll ignore it until the cows come home or until people are willing to just accept it.

Anyone that has played MMOs very long knows how it goes.

[Darrkness]

Not that I'm expecting a response (I'm hoping for one) but... its the weekend bro.

didn't realize it till it was mentioned the devs most likely have the weekend off

They seriously need to do something about this. I notice it a lot when I'm depositing items to my retainer or when I try to auto follow someone. The delay is terrible.

I hear ya man, but I think this is the single biggest thing holding back XIV: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...r-of-Jobs-Devs

Server/client optimisation is number 2 on my list.

Have fun trying to enjoy those jobs with the current state of the servers.

Thank you so much for posting this!

@Square Enix: Optimize the bloody game already! I can do without the new content, I want to finally play the game and experience SOME sense of "immersion" here!

OPTIMIZE IT!

You know it's funny, I actually feel sort of relieved to see this sort of video posted. Not because I think this is a good state for the game to be in, but because after having read several articles I know they are not only fully aware of this issue, but are also working hard to fix it. It would be one thing if I thought they were aware of it, but resigned to the possibility that they couldn't fix it. However, I assume that as Yoshie P. has been extremely forward and honest, and has stuck to his guns when it comes to the issues that really matter for the game, that this game is going to shape up well in the coming months and/or year. I look forward to the day when the combat system, which has been designed based on timing and strategy, can be enjoyed the way it was meant to be. Knowing this, I can really start to picture how the game will play when this issue is fixed. And it excites me greatly.

Definitely agreed with OP. This is the major source of all frustration and until this is fixed, the game is going nowhere..

I agree with that also, i think they are both equally important. I posted similar thread here:

If these 2 things get fixed, i think the game will have much more going for it and they can pull the masses back easily.

[Darrkness]
