The brainrot required to defend SE on this is staggering honestly.

How can you possibly be satisfied PAYING $15USD a month. Thats a MONTHLY subscription, for a service that gets DDOS'd, disconnects you every 5 minutes at peak hours, making content like PoTD impossible. Making Savage/Ult raiding extremely irritating, and painful to clear.

You are paying for access to FFXIV. When SE can't deliver that, compensation should be owed.
When SE has DDOS attacks, thats not your problem.
When SE has server/netcode issues, thats not your problem.
When Yoshi P spills his coffee in the server room, thats not your problem.

I don't care if the 8th umbral calamity is happening in Japan. I don't care if there is a zombie outbreak, and zombies are assaulting the server facilities. I'm paying for access to their game. If they cannot provide a stable service, we should not be expected to pay full price. Basic customer support.

If the same thing was happening in Japan, do you think for a SECOND they'd let it go on for months? I don't think so.
