I'm not going to write an essay about this frustrating situation. I'm just really disappointed by how SE handles this whole thing.

Yeah, I'm aware that DDOSING is part of the current problem but the EU data Center has been the laughingstock of this game for a while now. We went from Chaos dcing and lagging at least 1 day per week to having this issue multiple times a day now.

I've been playing MMO's for about 20 years now and never seen anything like this. I might have seen similar situations but at least when something like that happened in other games the devs had the guts to compensate the players with free playtime.

SE is neither fixing the situation NOR compensating EU players and FFXIV players in general. It's like they don't even care anymore at this point.

Bottom line is: The game has been crashing and lagging a ton lately. Do something about it or compensate your players >.>
