I played stormblood as a high ping mch the entire expansion and could still optimize and parse well.

Shadowbringers is FAR more punishing to high ping players than Stormblood ever was.

1.5s recast times have been a complaint about machinist for as long as they have been a thing and a pretty universal ones at that, they really have to go if they dont want to force people off the job.

To any low ping players saying that they would leave the job if they slowed it down: Id rather you had a CHOICE to leave the job due to not liking it than others being FORCED off the job due to their latency. Its not fair to people who live on the other side of america to design a job like this in a game with instances which are so inconsistent. Not to mention they put their servers on the very west edge of america which just destroys anyone on east coast.

Very unfun to just be told "its our class now go find something else to play" after 4 years.
