our Raid Group made up of 7/8 EU members still cleared A12S last night 3 times without any issue,

Ok. Listen. No one who is complaining seriously about ping issues is saying they're not going to be able to do or clear content because of it. That isn't the issue at all. Certain jobs can not be played optimally with 100+ ping. This only effects a very small number of players, but the change has literally made it so that some players can not be competitive as they once were, or hoped to be, in Stormblood. That is what people are upset about. And rightly so. Now, there's nothing that an be done about it, so complaining is moot. But let's not forget that this sub has a history of crying over nearly everything including transfers, 280 weapons, easy content / hard content, lockout, grinds etc etc. People have a right to be disappointed that they can't play their jobs in the highest percentiles anymore. Especially since it has been a day. Stop giving them shit for it. Especially if you yourself don't play competitively.
