Inactive FC members due lag issue

[Lanceton]

A couple of my FC members that I know in real life have been inactive for the past month starting from 2 days, then several days and finally never logged on again, the words were - tell me when they fixed the lag.

Another few FC members says now the game is virtually unplayable for them without VPN like WTFast.

Perhaps this is just an independent case I don't know, just want to share that this has happened to my FC.

These and other examples are proof positive this is NOT a problem SE can deal with because it's ISPs who are at fault.

If a VPN solves it it CAN'T BE DOWN TO SE.

Except it's funny that for a LOT of ppl all the problems started happening after this date >> http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-%28Jan.-16%29 It might be SE, it might not be, but the game was totally fine for me since release before they added the data selection thingie.

I too need to use WTFast or else the lag is unbearable in instances.

I have friends across the globe thousands of miles from the data-centre who've beaten Turn 5.

Tell them to suck it up.
There are plenty of solutions to fix the "lag" that they're experiencing (if any).

There are quite a good number of occasions were 'Lag' really is just them not moving out of the way before the CAST timer goes off, NOT the AOE indicator.

Tell them to suck it up.

SE already 'told' them to suck it up, and the result is inactivity and later probably unsubscribe.
If SE and most of you guys think this game is better off without these 'whiners', I have nothing against it personally.
Like I said this issue might happen to just affecting a small number of people I don't know, and I can't do anything about it neither.

I don't really think the lag is that bad anymore...it's been mostly fixed for me since 2.1
.
Of course, some people got new serious issues starting in 2.1, but that's a separate issue.

It's just how the game is set up. If you like the game, you will find the ways to make it work. I doubt they're going to change the whole server architecture on the fly to make the game work client side.

The lag made the game unplayable for me, I had to subscribe to Pingzapper to fix it. I object to having to pay a bit extra to be able to play but luckily for me I can afford it, especially as I pay less for my sub to the game as i'm a Legacy player.
