Sorry SE, but endgame won't work if you don't fix something.

They did tolerate ff14 1.0 so I think they will do it.
Besides one of the most popular topics is about cat butts, it sums it all up.

One thing that surprised me was that there was a thread on the beta forums about this problem. It was one of the hottest topics in general and when it got more than 1500 likes it prompted the response from Yoshi.

When this thread started gaining attention I thought we would see the same thing.

Currently this thread has more than 21000 views and 135 likes. You could conclude that over 90% of the people who thought this was a problem in beta are now happy with the current state of the game (135/1500 = 9% still feel this is a problem).

Are the number of people who feel this is a serious issue really that small? It would seem that way.

I was reading the comments at massively: http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/09...ales/#comments

The problem of lag was raised and a number of people said they had not seen this problem and therefore it must be at the players end: bad computer, bad internet etc etc. - no one mentioned that this is a known bug.

It's hard not to feel that any hope for improvement is gone, it does not seem to be very important to most people. If it's not important to most of the player-base then why would SE devote any time to addressing it?
