so off to Rift i went and its a much more pleasant experience i can tell you.

Kinda a shitty excuse as I play regularly with 2 AU and one has had no issues at all getting past Titan HM for 3 of his jobs for relic and then other times jut to help other people. He also plays on an N/A server like you. I'm playing from Japan on a N/A server too. Your issue is also your internet on top of the .3 delay. You should honestly look at going to Tonberry the unofficial Oceanic server.

It's not a crappy reason to leave the game, and it will cause many to leave from all over the world. The issue quite literally makes some end game fights impossible, if not extremely frustrating. Just because you and your friends don't have it, doesn't make it not a thing. .

Honestly I got the feeling FF14 is out to become the first MMORPG that is completely destroyed by only technical issues, not gameplay issues. That is, people cry about lag or similar technical issue in every MMORPG in existence, but I don't think you'll ever go back and say, "Remember that MMORPG? It failed because it was too laggy". But FF14 is doing a very good job to become the first one.

I honestly cannot think of any MMOs I've played that have had that this issue. Rubberbanding? Yes. Disconnects and server crashes during launch? Yup... but never being hit by aoes when I'm out in time.
