For a player who was next to the Montreal server, I can tell the differences between the previous and this new terrible location. RTT Hiccups from time to time in raid where applying GCD/oGCDs DO NOT EXECUTE PROPERLY (delays).

This is for the FFXIV employees to read:

The relocation is the most stupid decision ever. Players have already gotten use to the gameplay from the get-go with that specific latency (RTT), and moving the datacenter to the opposite side of the country will only show more disappointment from the players as they are no longer accustomed to their original responsiveness/feel to the game they play.

It was most likely a decision made by the upper-brackets of SE, but they DO NOT know how to maintain a happy, player-based community.

You've ruined my original gameplay and forced upon to adjusting to your ill-advised decisions (I wouldn't be complaining if the servers were in a Central location AS IT WOULD HAVE SATURATED NA LATENCY PROPERLY).

Watch fellas, it will take about 1-2 years to see an an official change or maybe even a statement, -.-
