Hey guys,

I'm really frustrated with Square Enix and their neglect towards players who are distant from the data centers. It's making it impossible for us to complete the new ultimate challenges in Final Fantasy XIV. And this is going on for as long as the game exists.

We play with intense lag, it completely impairs our ability to compete in these trials. It's just not fair that players who are closer to the data centers get to have an advantage over us.

And let's be real, this is one of the main reasons why some players resort to using mods and hacks. The lag makes it so it's impossible to compete otherwise. It's not fair for such a large community, such as it exists in South America and several other places, who are just as passionate about the game as anyone else. We deserve to have an equal playing field and be able to complete these challenges without this issue.

It is fairly safe to assume that this benefits not only current players but will impact attracting new others too. So, Squeenix, how about place some other data centers and give us a fair shot at these trials, how about treat your main game as it should be treated?
