Inactive FC members due lag issue

[Shneibel]

not that I know of, the members in my FC who had issue with lag and cant do titan HM properly can now do titan Hm and EM properly after 2.1 so I dont know how extreme the lag your members have but that might be an excuse for not log into game anymore

The problem is how ISP route to the game, not so much the game it self. This is why WTFast and Pingzapper work to fix the lag. The only thing SE can do at this point is call the companies and try to convince them to fix it. I too have friends that use this as an excuse to no play but I'm starting to think it's just an excuse and they really just don't want to play anymore.

Does it suck for me to pay extra every month? Sure but it just means I just have to eat a sandwich instead of fast food for one meal.

Some people just don't have the ability to fix the lag, making the game almost unplayable once they get to titan HM lag check where even a minor lag means you are dead. Then everyone starts hating you. I had to do some things to fix the lag because prior to that why even attempt endgame?

Can a console player even put those programs in place?

I have said it before and I'll say it again VPN services only use a private network to get to the destination rather than the internet if a VPN works the issue CANNOT be SE's issue because you are connecting to the same severs, through the same ISP for SE, the only variable you have changed is using a private network and a managed route.

What you need to do is contact your ISP see if they are throttling FFXIV traffic for some reason (entirely possible) tell them a VPN improves the game experience, then they cannot push the issue on SE.

If you reject my ideas please tell me how it's SE's fault that your ISP might be throttling traffic, or using a less efficient route to the datacenter (both of which are solved using a VPN).
