Why I stopped paying for FFXIV

Award winning post here...

So your BEST assumption for the free weekend is falling subs? Sorry you don't get ESO beta invites

So lots of us bought 180 day subs, guess what? Still time left on those before our renew time comes up and you need 270 days for behemoth. Which means you are going to see a flood of them soon enough.

firstly it was a suggestion and hey lets edit my original post so it saves white knights such as your self the embarrassment of being wrong!!!! unless you can answer why they have a free weekend login?????

They are giving a free weekend for all the guys that quit b4 2.1 dropped. they hope they will like the current update and come back. I thought that was obvious...

Answer: Elder Scrolls Online Beta Weekend. I, and many others here, had the Beta invite. I almost spent all weekend playing it instead of FFXIV. (Almost) You can't keep putting your head in the sand to ignore the most obvious and plausible answer possible.

seems i missed out on my free beta weekend invite .. thats why a already running game offers a free week end to keep ppl playing the game for the weekend of a free beta test.. numbskull # 2

it is obvious all i was doing was replying to the numbskull who edited my post for the own white knight purposes

A member of my FC have the same prblem, there's nothing wrong with his conection "apparently", he's closer to the server than me, but he can't evade plumes on titan HM because he's getting a ping of 170-200 to google. and ofcurse that's not SE fault, you may see better latency on other MMOs, but its because they mask the lag, and that masking can lead to "cheating".

My friend have his relic, we helped him with titan, and he's a good player, when a perfect coneection is not required (titan HM and EX), he can deal with it and keep playing and paying, feel sorry you can't, but it's not SEs faul, so they wont solve it.

PD: I'm aware about the persistent latency of the game, but most ppl kill titan np with that latency.

Latency has to be fixed. I m having same issue as OP. It blasts me even when I am out of red... nonsense.

For everyone having "latency" issues, try watching this vid on how to fix it yourself.

I just wanna say mail me your stuffs...I can put your gilz to good use just mail it to me. thanks in advance.

Well, I wont say that leaving because of poor latency is a bad reason to quit. Really, it just comes down to the devil is in the details. If something bothersome is left unattended for too long it wears down on people, from the fact that crafting and gathering are almost completely dependent on repeatable leves to end game economy issues and housing costs. Heck, the fact they made extreme mode fights available via DF and not like Bahamuts Coil (which for turns 1-4 is actually easier) is kind of silly as well and there's plenty of gnashing of teeth on that.

Dear, Whimsicalalien

I know you want a f2p FFXIV account because of your latency issues with the servers. However due to the simple fact of not everyone does and ffxiv is not just some random Japanese MMORPG. I therefor deem your account not free to play and suggest a new or more powerful internet or pc. I hope this helps with what you are wanting from Square Enix as I guarantee this game is worth a subscription and your problem is not linked to everyone that plays this game.

There are f2p accounts? Well that's news to me, and begging for one certainly wasn't my intention at all. I'm in the Oceanic region and the connection has to go all the way across North Pacific to reach Canada so idk really how I'm supposed to fix it. As I said I used WTFast to play this game and it gives me about 20-30% improvement but I still have the issue of delay/latency. I don't get this issue in other games I play, just fyi.
