Severe Lag while only playing FFXIV

[Romsia]

Same Issue here, playing on Lich EU. Happens in peak hours, getting major freezes (packet loss) for the last couple of weeks, sometimes even disconnects. Other games and internet overall seem to work normally.

Here's traceroute I did on 12.11.21:

Lost packets at ae-2.r25.snjsca04.us.bb.gin.ntt.net around 1:33PM (-5 EST).

Yes, it's NTT again. From what I see it's the Chicago NTT link.

I started a topic on this 2 weeks ago.

[Burningannefrank]

Same problem here. Only with FFXIV started last weekend. I played on Monday and was fine no issues and then tried on weekend and had issues and continue to have them. I'm also seeing packet loss from Server Side. This is obviously an issue on their side that they need to fix. Giving this copy/paste troubleshooting is just making people angry. Just fix your servers already..
