Unfortunately it appears that people with low-end PCs and PS3 users suffer from unbearable lag when entering highly populated areas or events, such as FATEs. There is also a massive shortfall on the ability to render creatures/monsters when attempting to fight them, causing them to disappear and not being able to retaliate once they attack you.

This is causing these users to fall behind in the competition to level, whereas high-end PC users will dominate this game with their high levels and gear in the near future (I'm hoping this issue will be addressed by then).

The thought of this made me so disappointed that I actually felt quite depressed having no efficient way left of levelling my battle classes and though about not even playing the game anymore. I was hoping to FATE grind and level my other classes & jobs but that is proving to be difficult with these current issues - I play on PS3.

I would be happy enough to grind mobs had the XP gain and the chain bonus not been so miniscule compared to FATEs. Grinding dungeons also is unnecessarily long when in comparison. I estimate it would probably take about 6-7runs in a dungeon of same level to gain a single level, whereas you probably would of attained that in half the time with a FATE. As for mob grinding... I wont even go there; you'd be wasting time.

I 'm not exactly sure how to address the issue other than giving priority to the monsters and of course your own party. Completely shuffle minions, pets and companions down the list because we really don't need to see those firsthand.
