Why the netcode issue exists, and why it cannot be fixed.

this should be fixed for all instanced battles, not just high level content and PvP. that is the point. fixing content that only high level players will see is bad. especially if you want to get new players into the game

I am not disagreeing with you there, but they have to start somewhere, and bandage the issue somehow with a bit of urgency. Since increasing the rate at which positioning polls are done will create a very large load on the server, they have to be selective as to which areas they decide to apply the bandage. It makes the most sense to have them in the areas that are the most movement intensive, such as Titan. That isn't to say that this will be the very last thing they do to address it (at least I sure hope it's not), or that they shouldn't address it elsewhere. However, expecting them to immediately fix all areas with 2.1 is unreasonable. That's why I believe the mere fact they addressed it and are now making moves to try and improve it is so important.

So bascially SE could spend the money to fix it now and technically make some of it back or keep it the way it is and have players leave in droves and lose money? I know for a fact when I get to the point where the desyncs with the AoEs are common, I'm done with this game. Things of this nature should not happen at all if SE wants to keep FFXIV open, and everyone knows it.
