See, the unique thing about "video" games is that the video is supposed to be important. So when you press a button, it shows up on the screen. But the "new" style of video games (pioneered by Dark Souls, mastered by FFXIV) is where your actions do not correspond with the video. And the key to beating the game is to do exactly what you shouldn't do. So in these new raids, you move in the "bad" zone when it's still bad but a second before not being bad. And if you can't do it? Get gud! 100 levels! The old masters of video games (1970s-2010s) couldn't handle the sheer power of "shapshotting". Only a company as rich and prestigious--excuse me, a small indie company--can come up with this ingenious system.

You can literally leave earlier, or enter a bit later. Or try to discern the pattern of a mechanic before it is resolved. Or die, learn, and try again. It is that simple, and it is the "game" part of a video game. Snapshotting is an issue for high ping players, but what you're describing is just delusional.
