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

I'll give you that its annoying but "crippling" and game being un-enjoyable is just being melodramatic :-/

Not being able to heal somebody right in front of you, or not being able to see them because theyre in the ceiling isnt crippling to gameplay?

No because 99% of the time this isn't the case. I understand it may suck at the time but when it happens on extreme rare occasions I fail to see how its the "biggest" issue that warrants attention. Actually looking at the front page of the forums I see other fake "dire situation" threads that deserve more attention.

Also I've heard a lot of different reasons of people quitting and have never heard this as a complaint so I don't see how it's "holding back" ffxiv potential.

Its not so noticiable if its the only online game you play, but moving between similar games the difference is enough to make me log off. I hate lag in all its forms. I hate dying when its not my fault. Its such a fundamental flaw I just don't understand how it didn't get addressed pre-alpha...

Oh, and I play on a decent PC - flat 60 frames/second and low latency ADSL2 connection. No noticeable lag in any other game (of any type). Based in UK.
