This issue is literally the only technical issue I can think of that can cause people to quit. Sure people cry about overcrowding, lag, and a host of technical issue in other MMORPGs, but it's rare for people to actually quit over that. Almost invariably people quit over gameplay stuff, but the lag in FF14 is so bad that it can actually trump gameplay elements.
