General Game Performance - Anyone Else Feel The Way I Do?

Lol, yes that is also something I should expect. But just to clarify;

This thread is to get the experiences of others who feel the same way, or even want to deny that there is a problem here at all. I think any light shed on the subject would be constructive to the future of this game.

I want to deny that there is a problem at all!! I mean for me personally it runs fine even with windowed/autohotkey window box removal which supposedly lags others. Then again I'm not the type to complain about menial problems which don't affect my ability to play the game, so it is possible I sometimes do experience lag and just play through it.

Okay I don't really want to deny that there is a problem at all, and I do want them to fix it for people who have this problem. I merely don't think it ruined the game or renders it unplayable/unenjoyable. Though I do understand why that stance is unacceptable to some people on the forum, if I was really unable to play I might want everyone to be in the same boat as me too so that it would be priority #1.

Thought I'd come here and give my experience with this problem as well.

A few weeks ago, my video card died on me (ATI Radeon hd 5770). I waited impatiently, running my computer off of my on board video card (ATI Radeon HD 4200 Graphics), of course the thought of even attempting to login to ffxiv was out of the question.

Well, boredom got the better of me, and i gave it a shot. Not only was i capable of getting into the game without changing any settings, it was playable... Performance took a small hit, but if i was outside of a city, just killing mobs, it was completely functional. This made me feel a little better, knowing that it wasn't my machine causing such horrendous lag, but rather the game. As every other recent game that i've played gives me no problems what-so-ever.

I really can't see myself playing again until this problem gets addressed. The loading lag, combined with the UI lag makes what would be an enjoyable game feel clunky and unfun.
