"wow lag issues"

Lag sucks, and it's never a simple problem to fix. And simply no MMO is immune to it.
This is a gross generalization of what people are complaining about in FF14. The 'serious' discussion here is not about whether there is lag per se - it is the *type* of lag that impacts on gameplay in FF14. In wow, when there is lag, the player loses control over their toons (i.e., they can't move it or cast anything) and then dc's. Visual cues are still *accurate*.

In FF14, players see their toons move but it actually isn't moving type of lag. This type of lag is more serious because it makes visual cues for handling boss mechanics or casting/movement unreliable. This becomes a problem when you have 1-shot dodge mechanics - it has to be 100% reliable. How so? You won't know whether you have moved (even though visually you have) or not until you have DIED.
