Just logged in to XIV having not really played for a number of weeks. Forgot how horrible the UI lag was. Logged back off.

Sorry SE, I can see you've made some real advancements to content etc but until that lag is gone I for one won't spend any real time playing (and would cancel if you started charging). I also think a lot of other people, especially new starters/PS3 players, would do the same.

The simple test I perform:

1. Log in
2. Stand still
3. Tap 'down' in the right menu at a steady pace
4. Sigh as the cursor intermitently skips and jumps
5. Log out

I'm based in the UK. I have a great internet connection and get low latency with every other game I've ever played, including FFXI (within reason). My PC is powerful and runs the game at a steady 60 FPS. There's no excuse really, so please please please make this a priority - no ammount of content can make up for something like this.

** Yes I realise not everyone gets this problem and it will vary based on PC spec, ISP, geographic location etc etc but I'm sure I'm not alone here - a lot of people are probably just used to it and don't realise, but switch to another game (Rift for example) and the difference is painfully obvious.**
