I am quitting FFXIV for this reason only, this is a great game, the graphics are awesome and the gameplay is interesting and fun; but this issue makes this game unplayable for me. I get hit by EVERY aoe no matter how quickly I move out of it, it was ok a lower levels but it became more of a problem later on - to the point that I die a lot in the later content. I have fast internet but because I live in the SW USA I get horrible lag and when you add this huge design flaw, I cannot play this game. I canceled this morning.
