Please address this issue. I'm staring level 50 in the face and I'm not sure that I'll be able to continue playing, since being unable to dodge AoEs isn't going to fly in endgame. Turns out the game isn't much fun when you get hit by every attack even when you see yourself as outside the red zone well before it fades. It isn't okay. I feel like I can't run anything for fear of making other people wipe.

This sort of slow stuff on the server side was fine in FFXI because the general mechanic in FFXI was "get in a good spot and stay there so the bard can hit you with the dang songs, kthnx." You can't make a game that expects quick responses and dodging from players and then build extra lag into the system on top of the lag that is always going to be there in online play and expect the players to be okay with that.
