I agree too.

I have always said it, that SE's games are beautiful, you cannot fault the look and feel of them, and the music is always spot on. Their technical ability though is verging on the ridiculous. They seem to be under the impression that a terrible UI and poor response time is acceptable in any game released after 1999.

They managed to have a fast response time in all their other games, I don't know why they turned back to this server side decision making for their MMo's. Even their JP MMo's don't have this issue.

SE, if you ever read this, this isn't a "I will quit if you don't fix it" or "Everyone will quit if you don't fix it", it is a warning for your own playerbase. If you don't start fixing these tech problems, people will eventually give up with being continually patient waiting for your bug fixes.

Stop announcing all this fancy new stuff that we have still yet to see, and get this basic stuff fixed asap. You are losing more and more people each day as they login for the first time, and the first thing I hear them say is "Well this is one unresponsive turd, I cba with this". I have invited around 15 people so far from RL to try it out, and the majority left after less than an hour due to the totally unresponsive UI commands.

You need to stop worrying about RMT prevention and hacking/bot prevention as it has crossed a line where your games are becoming a deterrent for any player.


Edit: I know myself I am very patient with SE games, I wouldn't have stuck with FFXI for years if I didn't think the game itself had potential, but even myself, with my unlimited SE patience is being tested now. I am already getting very frustrated with the menu adventure I go on daily. I am personally not sure if this one is worth the time investment this time, as if you cannot learn your lesson after 6 years development on XI, then it is worrying, and does not bode well.
