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

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.

I feel you, I started playing this a month and a week ago and I'm not sure how long I'll stay here, this issue is locking me out of EX primals and coil and I ended up so traumatized that I haven't touched Stone Vigil since the first day I did it.

So far I've been enjoying leveling other classes and gearing from daily roulette, but whenever I get bored of that and want to try end-game content I'll probably end up canceling my sub.

Da feels...

I almost never have lag during any fight (though, what little I do have happens during Titan) and I unsubscribed earlier today. Other people being effected by the problem that plagues you, effect the group, and therefor I can't finish certain fights or spend all day wiping before luck smiles upon us. It's way too much of hassle to seek out players with no issues so I'm just gonna quit. I shouldn't have to fight the system to play the game.
