At this point I am seriously considering not continuing my subscription. I haven't had that much time to play, and each time, I've logged in, I've been greeted with RMT spam, teleporting botters and lag. After raiding hardcore in wow and eq for years, seeing here in the open world I apparently can't run out of red circles before I see them land due to our woeful latency, I really can't see me wanting to level to max and be useless in raid situations. With an average ping to the servers of about 250 from Australia, which apparently is fine for WoW, playing FFXIV feels slow and unresponsive. The fact that it seems to take almost a full second for a spell to start casting when I hit a button, and the fact that I can move 3/4 of the way into a cast and still have a spell fire off, just shows how woefully inadequate the server response times are. I had high hopes, I held off from ver 1.0 and I feel like I've been duped again.
