Lag spikes in game-- I don't know how to fix it.

[Lurkios]

I have pingzapper. I go through Chicago with it, and most of the time it is stable enough. It works better than going through New York anyway. I've never had to use one before, and I'm not happy about it. I'm waiting, but I will keep posting traces anyway. I don't really have a reason to bump without them as it's present everytime I trace; time of day or day of the week has no bearing.

I'm in pretty much the same boat. Using BattlePing myself, it's cleared up the issue for me entirely - but I'm not overly happy about having to pay for an additional service to play just this one game smoothly either (every other game I own works fine, datacenter location for FFXIV is just terrible).
