I know there is probably a ton of threads complaining about the lag in this game and how much more difficult it makes it to dodge AoE attacks. For the most part it isn't a HUGE issue for me as I have a rather big tolerance for kinks like this and I don't tend to get frustrated as much as most people. HOWEVER, a few of my RL friends are not so tolerant.

I played some 1.0 and that really tried my patience lol, but SE fine tuned and listened to the community and now we have ARR which is amazing! All my friends agree, we have been playing MMO's for a good 5-6 years together and they followed me to FFXIV:ARR once I told them they fixed (nearly) EVERYTHING that was wrong with 1.0. They enjoy the game and have proceeded to level multiple jobs, one has even surpassed me in 1/3 of the time lol! However they are starting to get frustrated with the lag on certain boss fights.
