Any plans to address severe server issues?

Lag is so bad now can't even run a dungeon. Use skills they never activate you just stand there doing nothing when enemies keep attacking you. Unless they fix these problems fast. Can see game loosing a lot population fast from it leaving and going to another online game.

For those people who don't know how to do a traceroute:

-Look for "Resource Monitor" in your start menu and run it.
-Look in the network section of that tool for ffxiv.exe. It will tell you the FFXIV server IP address.
-Open a command prompt.
-Type "tracert target_ip_address" (ex for Sargatanas: tracert 204.2.229.88)

Each hop along the way will return 3 ping replies and the hostname of each hop along the way to the server. A "*" means no repsonse which could be packet loss (some hops are configured to not respond to pings so keep that in mind). Abnormally high pings or intermittently high pings could also indicate trouble. If your trace keeps coming up clean over and over while you are experiencing the trouble, then it isn't the network and could be your computer or SE's end. If only one server or data center is giving you trouble and your traces are clean consistently, you then have a case to show SE that they have trouble on their end.

I hate to sound like a broken record but the quickest way to get a resolution from the party responsible for the connection trouble is to show them a traceroute with proof.
