Lol, some players will actively deny there even is a problem. Whenever there's a video or a gif file of someone getting hit by AOE long after they've been out of it, someone will always be there to try and chalk it up to "snapshotting," and will sweep any statements about the netcode's/server update rate's intentionally poor design under the rug.

So I'll ask them: "ok if FFXIV's netcode/server update rate truly isn't an intentionally poor design then why is there such a big discrepancy between player movement on your own screen and player movement on another's screen, and why can slidecasting happen?"

It always plays out two ways: either they're at a loss for words, or they try to blame ping. But nearly everyone knows player movement discrepancy and slidecasting will happen regardless of a player's ping, even if it's 20ms.
