However in 2011 was popular to blame latency issues on why they couldn't beat Ifrit at all, but it died off when people just simply got better at it, now that there's another Ifrit "requirement of some kind (hard for loot/Extreme for Relic)" it's all of a sudden:

"Only JP will beat it cuz of latency"

Just tell me: Where have i said such nonsense?
I replied to correct some things that are not true, pure physics - nothing more!

Please get over your elitist "I'm a better player than you LOLZ" attitude and realise that Yukiko never once stated that latency prevents her from dodging. She was simply stating (like many people have said over and over again in this thread) that the battle IS made slightly more difficult than it is for those living closer to the server due to latency issues. Get your head out of the sand.

LATENCY ISSUES:
Do they exist? Yes, they do.
Do they make the battle harder? Slightly, of course.
Does it prevent anyone with enough skill from winning the battle? Absolutely not.

Indeed, the thing is though it's just funny how all of a sudden it springs back up. Everyone knows there's a latency (and animation) problem with this game, yet it somehow didn't prevent people from making ifrit their bitch for over a year after the in initial 'omg latency makes eruptions hit me from across the field!" cries of agony, but now that we needed to do it for Relic, it's suddenly becoming a 'prevalent problem.'

That's why you see people poking fun at people who blame latency or even mention it, because for the longest no one said anything about latency in ifrit being a problem in beating him until we need to beat him again for a different reason xD.
