Why I stopped paying for FFXIV

[Whimsicalalien]

Latency. That's why. I geared up and decided to attempt HMs and did I fail hard. But I wasn't failing the strategy I was failing running out of bad stuff. Particularly plumes and landslide that I have the most trouble with. Even with sprint on every CD and WTFast I still can't dodge them. And the most annoying thing is that latency is worse when I'm in HMs for some reason. Needless to say, any further progression, such as getting my relic, for example, is just not possible for me. To make the matter even more obvious I got into playing the beta of another Japanese MMO, which is f2p btw, and I can dodge stuff there just fine! So I thought to myself no way I'm paying the money for the game with such terrible latency issues when I could play FREE games without those issues. So that being said I am forced to leave Eorzea but I will be happy to come back if the latency problem gets fixed! Good bye, everyone, and good luck on your adventures and may epic loot be always on your side /wave

NO offense to you personally, but why are we constantly subjected to the why I am quitting threads? Do you want us to fix your latency issues? How are you playing the game? What is your internet connection speed? Are you wired in or wireless? Personally, I am on a PS3 currently, on a not very fast DSL connection, and have 0 issues with latency. I mean, there is once and a while a server lag spike, but that is expected.

Going to sound like a dick here, but if you don't want to see these threads, ignore them and move on.

L2VPN or pingzapper.com; it's not SE's fault.

I actually asked real questions that could actually lead to real solutions. If you read past my first sentence, you would actually know this.

I never said you didn't and I did read your entire post. Please do not assume things.

See you in your next thread.

Will probably be another "quitting" topic.

Not really defending SE here but not sure why you would bring up the fact that it's free to play, every F2P game I've tried turns out it more along the lines of being free to endure plenty of extra hours of additional grind unless your willing to spend the cash to just get right to the fun, which is what they want. Once they hook you they'll bore you to death until you hand over the cash.

Do you have a wireless connection? If so try switching to wired connection. Fixed it for me. 30 lvs of agony latency with wireless, the next 20s with wired connection went smooth sailing.

Not on wireless.
