I just decided to post this, because I think this is getting to a point that is unbearable.
I and im sure a lot more players play this game and pay their subs for years now.
And the game as not been like this since I can remember.
The lag issues you get the in the EU servers are completely absurd for a game that is sub based. Im not even arguing that shouldn't be lag, its an MMO always is.
But like this no, or at least in a MMO that ppl pay and not cheap at the end of an year.
I would give SE reason, if was a few ppl only making some claims from time to time, yeah probably would be an ISP problem. Now I been checking forums everyday and everyday ppl place traceroutes and no reply.
People ask for updates and no reply, or if there is a reply its like "Place your traceroutes here so we can pass it on and help you enjoy the exciting world of FFXIV.

Well I got news for SE. It´s not exciting anymore. Cannot do savage without lagging. Cannot do byakko as healer for example cause its lagged until kingdom come.

People been claiming this for MONTHS, since 4.15 and still no reply or solution.

Its probably better to launch new stuff on Mogstation, like a Panda mount that is just a painted version of Christmas bear and charge you 16 EUR for it.

Quite honestly its getting to a point that a player like me that plays for more than god knows I don't even remember myself is thinking of leaving.

BTW I lag on a chocobo race where me and my gf are the only ones players on the rest are NPC´s. so you can imagine how this is going.

I play on PS4, so don't know how to put traceroutes. But I think SE is already enough info to figure it out how to solve this.

And thank you for all the people that been bringing this to light.
