The biggest problem for me personally is that the snapshot delay on mechanics has only ever gotten marginally better. Slide casting is cool, but there is no worse feeling than seeing your character get smacked 50 pixels outside of the last attack that the game believed they were standing in. Despite this, I've cleared Savage fights by being the off tank, earning me the nickname "seven stack Katarh" in one of my statics haha.
Visual clarity in FFXIV (and other MMOs) is an issue even for people without disabilities. They could easily add an option to disable non-essential boss effects without degrading the quality of the gameplay.

Snapshotting, on the other hand, is a fundamental part of the game. A mechanic will always snapshot at the same time. It's consistent and learnable. You just need to learn when you need to be where you need to be and when you need to be there, and then be there at the correct time. Without trying to be rude, that's a skill issue.
