Unresponsive UI - no dev tag

The solution is very very simple... EU/NA Servers... can we have them?
Really, i can't understand why every important mmorpg game have them (wow, rift, tera, ecc ecc ) .. also the lolfree mmo have them! A game with FFXI / XIV as name shouldn't give the player the best online experience? They could improve the ui response as they want.. but the server are always too away...
Sorry for my bad english i'm italian... yeah .. and the game is very laggy even with the best connection here :/

That's definitely not the mandatory solution. If you are living in Italy, please try any US (or even Japanese) server of any decent MMO (meaning not something from SE), and see by yourself that you can perfectly play with 300ms of ping and that there is absolutely not lag with the interface.

Every single thread speaking about interface lag should start with reminder that server localization is not the cause.

And to answer the OP, yes, the current state of the interface is awful. Nearly everything has to be confirmed by the server for no reason. Even a well built ajax-based web interfaces would be more responsive...

That has nothing to do with the problem. The UI is server-side, not client-side. That causes the lag. Playing Korean MMO's from Europe, there is very little noticeable lag. You simply don't need to have that low of a ping when playing an MMO.

Yes, it should be vastly improved. It is not acceptable. Making the UI client-side does the job, but it is probably quite a massive task.

Honestly it's not the lack of multiple servers that is the problem. SE imo does a great job with lag issues to have the world connected on 1 server. FF MMOs also are unique compared to the rest since it connects the world instead of segregating us. XIVs current problem probably comes from hasty coding, lack of extensive testing, and etc. Almost everything needs to be tested, tweaked, and/or overhauled completely.
