If anything that makes this even worse. People with low end machines get completely ruined then because it's just one problem on top of another. But honestly I have never seen this issue in other MMOs (didn't play FFXI), and I have played them with some truly abysmal PCs. But now that I have a i7-3770K and I am seeing it all the time in FFXIV, but of course, still not in any other MMO. So from that I think the CPU effect while possible is miniscule compared to the terrible net code.
