Response to Yoshi P: you can fix it.. but

[Jeeqbit]

- Gameplay / Netcode:
server structure is holding the game potential for years and it is debt from 1.0 that you didn't pay for it yet, there is a clear latency and request response is less than other online games, even indie games fix their issues and that put a lot of pressure on devs to create a unique experience.

Server structure is holding them back, yes, but that's a 2.0 decision, not a 1.0 decision. They've proven they can solve this too because they ran the Cloud Test DC.

Can't really comment on netcode because my ping is high. I've been more concerned with the animation delays personally.

WoW exodus: there are players who play WoW for more than 20 years and drop it, do you think FFXIV players can't do it after playing for 10 years?

I got a feeling a lot of them still went back after "quitting".

The worst part of this is mods have fixed it for years but XIV team refuses to address it. But considering they're finally adding chat bubbles (another thing that has been fixed with mods for years), I shouldn't be surprised I suppose.

Understandable. Player feedback is being heard and they've put out two good expansions back to back because of it.

I haven't played WoW since Cataclysm, but even I'm feeling like taking the plunge back into WoW to get away from YawnTrail and the trash combat system we've had for the last 5 years.

Because it isn't an issue in Japan so it is not a priority to fix.
