I'm sorry if someone has already said this, but I only glanced over the few pages this thread has created, but simply put:

When FFXIV, FFXI, WoW, Aion, Archlord, Moshi Monsters or whatever send information between your computer and the servers they use 'Packets'. These packets contain the necessary data for the server to do what you expect, this is a number of things:

Text, Movement, Character Data, Position, Rotation, etc.

ALL of your characters unique information that is constantly being changed is being sent in these 'packets', so whenever you start adding in more character customization options, armour pieces, etc. the packets become heavier as more data is added, which would in turn create 'lag' as the packets would require more time to transfer between yourself and the servers.

TLDR

The more you add, the more strain it puts on the servers creating lag.

Ok, but will 5 right hand animations be greater than 5 left hand animations. how about 2 left hand animations and 3 right hand animations. 4 left hand animations and 1 right hand animations.

No extra animations are being added. Players wont suddenly be sending both right and left handed animation data, they will be sending either right hand or left hand, which both would be the same size as all right hand or all left hand.
