Yeah, it's the shoddy player position update rate at work here. The server will always register your position as being 1-2 seconds (sometimes more) behind where you (the player) see yourself on your PC at home, which makes it easier to get snapshotted in AOE, etc. It all feels very sluggish and difficult to play sometimes.

Also, anybody remember the time when SE had to increase FFXIV's player position update rate to make Titan playable? I certainly do. Good ol' patch 2.1.

Sometimes I wonder if SE can increase it again without having the servers implode. It would probably make the game much more enjoyable, but they'll need more funding to roll out those server upgrades, and SE is infamous for penny-pinching.
