Too many people say "get proper internet" when reality is the servers are in Canada and there are some L3 servers between the US and Canada which drop packets, and FFXIV is intolerant of dropping packets. That scenario is WAY more complicated than "get better internet"
These complicated internet issues are why so many people get the occasional disconnection or even experience sudden mass server drop offs.
Perfect internet from A to B can fix the problem. But perfect 0 latency internet is a myth. All internet has range of quality. And most ISPs are acceptable to great. The problem is FFXIV isn't acceptable of "good" internet. Their protocol expects great to near perfect protocol. Hense some folks suffer </3
Again they really need to take a look at the client <-> server communication and make it slightly more compatible with dropped packets. Its not like the current design is blocking teleport bots anyway... looool
