"Latency" in PvP

[Sylvain]

Hi, I would like to know if people experience some form of latency in PvP?

The PvP seems extremely unresponsive, everyone keep gliding around and I am often either able to hit (with melee attack) when i'm clearly far from my target or unable to do so when I see myself on my target.
Same goes with debuff such as root which seem to take a whole second before actually freezing the target (I had a few case where they could almost cross a street in Rival Ring)



I do not suffer from that kind of lag on any other game.
My BF and I play side by side so we can see how reactive a game server is.
In every other game we play (mostly Blizzard games), it's nearly instant (0.2 at most)
In FF14, it's staggering how laggy the server seems to be.
For instance we once did some "mount test". Although we"d start running at the same time, we would always have almost SCH dome diameter separating us (i'm not familiar with yalms)

Is there anything we can do to make the game more responsive?

It makes PvP rather painful as I just can't seem to be able to place any silence of stun at the right time (they always finish their cast even if I press at the very beggining of their action). I assume this is because I see their action 0.5-1 sec too late, then counting my reaction time + server response speed they're done with their cast
