Got into a long discussion with one of my programmer buddies today. For the life of me, I've noticed improved performance when running WTFast - where before characters would constnatly stop - stand still - rubber band forward, any time I connect via WTFast I never have the issue, and can garuntee 100% dodges on Titan.

But he has a legitimate point. I don't really understand why the program works so well with FFXIV, how it's improving my performance, or how it's making me able to react better to the environment.

Does anyone understand the netcode of FFXIV well enough to understand why these programs help out with one's connection so much, and gives them such a strong edge? Or is it really just that Square's servers have improved substantially?
