devs attitude to players

It's not, it's confirmed with the ISP and others having it too.

And before any suggestion of my PC being under spec, it's i7-3820 on Asus Rampage IV socket 2011 mobo, 16 gb quad channel DDR3 PC3-12800, OC GTX680 (planning on upgrading or adding another when DX11 client comes out, my focus was on core component longevity for this build), high speed SSD storage only. Runs like a dream, on maximum (benches well over 10k)

(p.s. on win 8 with kaspersky, wired ethernet, and my security is on lock down and that PC is gaming+teamspeak+netflix only too, I use tablets and laptop for general use and browsing)

are you using a WiFi Connection to your Router?

He already said wired ethernet.

There are two videos in this thread that clearly and unequivocally demonstrate the problem of moving well outside of the red and still being hit. Why you or anyone else would deny this is a real problem boggles my mind.

because it has never happened to me. :-p in the 100+ times I have done titan.

So you also believe you are immortal? What with death never happening to you either....

(edit: also stop trolling You haven't even beaten Titan yet.... or are you talking about story mode? Oh wait, let me guess, this is an alt? looooooool )

If it was, we'd have grounds to sue over the FCC's internet neutrality laws...And I mean real $$$$ lawsuits.

Isn't FCC an American thing? I know ISPs can throttle to their hearts content here as long as they tell you about it. That's how they sell the more expensive packages which don't have it

Yeah it is. But masked is being a bit misleading, unintentionally of course.
It is only illegal to selectively throttle a specific protocol, like say bit torrent, at the ISP level, while allowing all other protocols to pass with no throttling.
They can however throttle all traffic equally and be within the law. Its much like racial or gender discrimination, but for internet traffic.
Comcast lost a big case over throttling Bit Torrent, and lieing about it.


Also I have seen a lot of people talk about bandwidth caps. While this is certainly a thing in many countries, it is not predominant in the US. There are exceptions, Comcast forces you into it and Time Warner allows you to choose to have one. Unfortunately we here in the US usually do no have a choice with ISP. They have a monopoly in most areas. Basically regulators say; Time Warner and Cincinnati Bell are the only ISPs allowed to serve the Northern Kentucky area. This is the case almost everywhere in the US. Less than a handful of ISPs are allowed to serve a given area.

They purposefully throttled network traffic based on the packet ROT.

FFXIV is still a packet-transfer.

I wouldn't say I was being misleading as opposed to pushing a technicality.

Throttling is throttling regardless of individual service.

Indeed, I only meant to highlight the nuance of that ruling. No disrespect meant Masked, you are more knowledgeable on network routing than I am.

Also Masked or anyone really. While you are doing your packet inspections can you yank out the MAC address of the server you are connecting to? Might be useful in determining if certain servers are shittier than others.

Nope, 1 meter ethernet cable. Mentioned in the (p.s.). My internet is fine for everything else, my ISP acknowledges the problem (although they believe it to be upstream of them), they are actively trying to fix it, and keeping everyone with the issue updated on the progress. Haven't once told me my camera is zoomed in too far either.

I'm not really offended by what Yoshi said, or annoyed at all the people don't believe there is a problem despite the weight of evidence. It's just one of those things, my ISP is listening and doing what they can and on the whole it's been improving, with the lag patches become less frequent and shorter in duration.

(and haven't had Garuda go invisible for whole phases for a week or two either )
