Regarding the 300ms positional delay.

Signing because I want Titan fixed.

I get hit with some AOEs in other duty finder instances as well.. last night died next to another player who was 100% fine because the skill went off 1-2 second after I move.
This has happened to me also, same video they've been posting: DONT FALL (TITAN). Also Demon Wall as ppl have mentioned. Last night again... was in the middle for repel... no knockback.. so i was like okay... guess im fine.. the cast bar went off and everything... he even moved up closer which he does AFTER repel.. so i went to the side AFTER he moved up.. BAM! knocked back off the edge..

It's funny really as when I would be doing instances on my bard I didn't see too much of an issue, I just thought I was a lil too slow moving out of the area (whilst taking lag into consideration) and got hit by them, then when I got my Whm up to 50 and start doing more instances that have so much aoes to avoid...then I really started to feel it, so many times I had moves well out of an aoe and got hit...it was so bad that it was to the point that I would be perhaps half way (or a lil under) of my Cure cast, I would move out of the way of it and be outside the aoe zone but my character would still finish off the cast and heal who ever I had targetted, for a second I thought to my self "oh win, I moved out of the way whilst still being able to cast" till a second later I would get my health clobbered off...this really needs fixing, it just offers a terrible gameplay experience having to deal with it.

there's no way you should be providing visual AOE "clues" if I'm apparently meant to completely ignore them and go off either memory, blind luck or a completely different timer (cast bar) that you don't by default let my main class (WHM) see anyway.

While I 100% agree that the positional issues in this game need to be dealt with, I want to point out that you have two ways to keep an eye on the cast bar. You can set the monster as your focus target and move the focus target bar somewhere more visible than its default location and/or use mouseover macros and keep the monster as your primary target.

I know, but the issue with focus target is that is disappears if the boss jumps/warps, etc and if they're doing something like that I'm usually too busy healing to worry about getting focus target back up anyway. As for the mouseover macros - yes that'd work, but I shouldn't have to macro my entire class just so I can see information 6/8 of the other people in the instance can see just by playing normally. *That's* my issue, that healers have to "trick" the system just to see basic stuff like enmity rank/boss cast timers.

I feel like people are giving up on this, either they dealt with it, or moved on to another game.

So going from JP legacy to US legacy made things worse? That's what i'm trying to understand. I've been asking around and many ppl tell me that JP servers actually are better & more stable as they have been around the longest.

Thats in my case, because I'm in asia and get better ping to JP, in your case I'm assuming you aren't in asia, in which case NA/EU servers will give you better connection.(All the NA/EU ones are hosted in Canada right now I believe).
Its do wiith my location to the server, nothing to do with server stability.
