    SE did NOT fix ANYTHING. They put a band aid on it by making your position register as just a dot at your characters center as opposed to a circle around your entire character. This gives you more leeway when dodging, but doesn't even begin to address the abysmal delay that is not caused by internet connection (My ping is under 30ms on a high end PC getting a constant 60fps)

    As it stands, the server calculates your position when it feels likes it. SE refuses to fix (or is incapable of fixing) the problem but continues to make content where dodging and action oriented gameplay are essential.

    It is the worst in any MMO. Try playing 2 characters side by side and you'll see that people see you a full second behind how you see yourself. Its not the internet.... Its the PROGRAMMING (or lack thereof).

    Go look at TERA... it's a shitty game, for sure, but if you play 2 screens side by side, you'll notice that you see the other persons movements in pretty much real time with no delay. So I guess a shitty F2p MMO is exempt from inevitable internet latency but FFXIV is not.
    For that reason, anyone blaming internet or even 200ms ping is uninformed and misguided.
    200ms ping =/= over 1 second of lag. And if you think it does, you need to check your math.
    Everyone has this problem.

    I beat Titan easily every time though. In fact, I have a couple Allagan pieces and my friends and I are at the end of Bahamut's coil, so I'm not some player who can't beat it complaining. We beat Titan easily ONLY because we know the pattern and know what's coming. That makes for a pretty boring fight tbh.

    Scripted Primal battles are stupid.... but I guess necessary when your game was programmed by rookies

    Noticed this part too. In my screen, I was running ahead of all my party members, yet the video recorded by one of the party members showed that I was the last (running at the back).
