    When you are talking of server side lag, you are not talking of error 90k or any other error or people getting d/c right ?

    because this game as an ANNOYING server delay about every action and it's have NOTHING TO DO WITH LATENCY, i live in montreal at less then 5 Kilometers (3 miles) from the servers i have a ping of 8 when i do those testing, my game never have a different or spiking lag issue, i juste always have about 0.3 to 0,5 sec delay i would need to record and slow-motion the video to actually know how much it is, but there is a delay, wish is always the same between action getting done on my UI and when the server see it done, im a black mage, all my cast i can start moving at around 0,5 to 0,3 sec and they will finish casting, i am never spiking, if i move at 0,7 it will never finish to cast, my connection is very stable. If im in a void zone (red zone) i gotta be out of it around 0.5 sec before the animation start or i take damage and often could die with my corpse being outside of damage, i can even see other people dieing and their bodies appears out of the void zone.

    My friend who play a monk and have the same latency as me, if the boss is moving he can't hit it, unless he appears in front of the boss. So if a tank is kitting a boss, he gotta be in front of the boss hitting nothing but the server will recognize it as hitting something... i just can't imagine PVP under those condition

    here an example off this server side latency i found on youtube where it's pretty obvious player was out of void zone but he took the damage since he wasn't out more then 0.5 sec before the animation

    If SE continue to give a CRAPPY customer service like this and don't fix this server side latency and act like it's doesn't exist, FF XIV:ARR will just do like 1.0 and become a failure even tough it's as the potential to be a game that hurt WoW...
    i had high expectation on FFXIV to be THE GAME that would let me leave wow and be my new mmo... i've tried all the big new mmo in the last 3 years to make me leave wow and this 1 and secret world are the only 2 that were close to it, secret world had the best leveling experience ever in an mmorpg but no end game at all, ive played it as a single/2-3 ally to quest with single player rpg and had alot of fun and never player when i finished the storyline, now FFXIV has the real potential, the fight mechanic seems nice, rotation are maybe a bit too easy but with time and new skill would become great, i expect 2.1 to bring great end game when im looking at Coil, and the primal HM, the only problem is the DAMM SERVER SIDE LAG.... i have never lagged in any game in my life except if it was server side lag or i was downloading alot of torrent, but this game have an automatic delay wish have nothing to do with our ISP and our CPU and it will kill this game in the long term...

    This lag is acceptable for questing but not for raiding/dungeon or for pvp in future

    So far i'm still playing wow and purchased 1 additional month of FFXIV but if at the end of the month there is still this ''server side lag'' it will not be my wow subscription that will end but will be my FFXIV and that is sad cause i love the potential of this game
