A slight delay is what you see in other mmos and this is the standard that I'd like ffxiv to reach. I'm not asking for FPS tick rates. I'm asking for the minimum that other mmos have.
When other MMOs accommodate the following two conditions, I would expect FFXIV to start working toward what you desire:

1) True cross-platform. Other MMOs restrict PC players and console players to separate servers, implying separate infrastructure. ESO, for example, may have PC and XBOX players, but they do not share the same worlds, nor ever actually play against each other.

2) True world-wide realms. If you'd play WoW, for example, on a European server while you live in North America, you will experience problems with latency in a similar manner as this game. It becomes fairly noticeable during peak Internet hours in Europe. Up to a few months ago, the Oceanic players logging onto North American servers had a similar problem with latency.

On the other hand, if you are frequently running into latency issues in this game, it may be time to check your own internet provider(s). Your interpretation of what is actually happening to any particular player in the latest raid tier may be a misinterpretation of what is going on.
