Battleping etc is NOT allowed

[Sinth]

Hello everyone, I thought I should warn everyone...



I was a lot more descriptive (I gave some links to different programs like Battleping, WTFast, etc) in my question.

This is really awful news because I get 300+ ping and I'm starting to have trouble avoiding those red circles. My bf just transferred to a Japanese server to see if it's better there.

1. Using a VPN will not be detectable by SE.
2. Using a 3rd party application to modify your networking configuration independant of FFXIV is not against ToS.
3. Support just copy/pasted the same template they send to everyone who asks "can I use ___ with FFXIV to do ___".
4. If you are having latency problems connecting to a server in the country in which you reside, good luck when connecting to a server in a country overseas.

Example: Ask SE support if it is ok to use Opera with FFXIV. Or if you can use RDP to play FFXIV from another location. They will send you the exact same response, even though Opera is a web browser and RDP would only put you at a disadvantage playing the game. SE will still tell you the use of 3rd party applications is against ToS.
