SERVER LAG - Player complaints compilation (Demanding a specific answer)

[Mishayangg]

I tried this and it works!

"There is a simple way to make sure this doesn't happen. You need to cast a spell once you've left the AOE's area and the sever will register your new position. The moment you leave the area start casting and you will never be hit."

Regardless if this works or not, this is NOT convenient, and this would only put aside one of the long list of issues server lag has. If the server forcefully refreshes the client's location on client actions, well, that's great, but there's a bunch of other stuff not working and that can't be workarounded by a sh*t "fix" like this

Please add this quote from Yoshi's post about the battle system during beta:

With the advent of stronger internet connections, recent MMORPGs have come to be able to have defensive and evasive skills similar to offline stand alone games. Despite this, I feel that this does not fit with our customers who play FINAL FANTASY online, and I would like to have everyone play this game steadily for as long of a time as possible, which is why we’ve eliminated action elements to the best of our ability.

With these goals in mind we have built the content and the battle system.
Visually noticeable AoE attacks that you can avoid by moving
A system where you can boost damage by attacking from certain positions
Freedom to put things together by executing skills that follow a specific route
Being able to fixate on dealing the most damage while giving consideration to TP/MP costs in the end-game.
Jump not being essential for clearing content

While it might be thought of as simplistic, the end-game after reaching the level cap is where a good deal of player skill differences will start to appear, especially when adding equipment into the mix. We started designing this game by making the first goal of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn having everyone enjoy this aspect.

This is the reason why there are no action elements in FFXIV content and battle.

The beta forums are gone, but doing a google search for:
FFXIV:ARR "Battle System" Yoshi
pulls up copies. For example here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=65514566

This issue was supposedly one of the reasons for remaking the game. Please honor your word Yoshi, that this issue will be resolved. I am glad the animation lock was fixed, but this issue still lingers. Thank you.
