Just to show the difference between playing on a NA server, and a JP server. The latency and download speed is totally different.
This is what server latency would be at or around if there were a NA server
This is what NA players deal with since there's only a JP server for all of XIV
You tell me that 4x's more latency, and more then 11.5x slower download speed doesn't = a slower NA response to play XIV, then I'd like you to defend the numbers.
Edit. Also before a troll says that's not a good internet connection, I don't lag on WoW, SC2, BF3, Any CoD, GW, nor SW:ToR. And on full graphics also, with no UI lag.
