It might just be a pet peeve but I wish people wouldn't use terms that they don't fully understand. Race conditions is when A and B both try to do something simultaneously, and sometimes A wins and sometime B wins and that's a problem because you don't know what to expect. FF14 does not have this problem. The server always wins. The end. The time you think you won is because the server took mercy on you, not because of anything you did. Note that in every other MMORPG, the client is the one that always wins. It has to because the server can never have the most recent info on player position, so if the server could win, you will always have the 'but I dodged that' issue.
