Well let's see. I haven't played since March roughly. Everything I've posted is observations from other people in this forum or other FFXIV forums, or my direct experiences in game from when I did play. From what I've read, nothing has really changed server stability-wise since then. Just because you don't have connection issues doesn't mean others don't, and it certainly doesn't give you the right to pass judgement on who you think is skilled or not. You know nothing about each situation other than assumptions you make about player skill simply because you can't fathom other people have connection problems, or problems finding a good static to clear the content.
Well let's see...I've DF'd Titan Ex around 24 times since March and I jump in PF groups weekly for fun on SCH and MNK. So yes: I think it does. I don't think anyone in those completely random DF and PF groups ever complained about connection issues.
I know that you haven't cleared this fight since March. I know that I have friends in the UK and in Austrailia that are both in my FC and in my LS's that have cleared this without issue on a NA datacenter.
My raid group consists of someone from the UK. Would you like to know his ping? I'm pretty sure it's, at a minimum, 3 times greater than yours is at any given time.
In fact, you have no right to complain. He's a good indicator of why your complaints about connection issues are totally debunk.

That's much better. Most of your posts are like reading entitled crap from the OF.

I "learned" how to clear Titan EX. But I still can't clear Titan EX because it's not a solo fight. Plenty of people are doing Turn 7 and Turn 9, and that number will only increase over time. I also see plenty of Twintania farming groups in PF. Titan EX? I never see one that's a "farming group". I occasionally see "weekly clear" groups. But the vast majority of Titan EX PF groups I see are "need clear" groups.
So how do you account for people like me who just join because they're bored and end up clearing it with PF groups anyways?

People who have been doing Titan EX since the content came out have had plenty of time to get all of the Rowena's tokens gear that they'll ever need or want. They have no reason to repeat this content now, so the pool of players capable of clearing and actively seeking to participate is much smaller than Turn 5, Turn 7 or Turn 9. The sad thing is that SE was already trying to address issues like this by making fights easier. But with this particular fight, echo doesn't mean much.
You know they drop accessories, right? Some of those accessories are quite good. I had to go back recently and do Titan on my MNK for the earring, actually.

So I guess this is intended to be content only for people with statics?
Very good. So what we've learned is....
You should be lobbying for content somewhere between CT (too easy/casual) and extremes/coil (too hardcore/time consuming): not trying to change existing content.
I think I just said something about this the other day, in fact...

Hm I'd argue that good MMOs manage to please almost all of their audiences.
We're about to enter yet another period where one crowd is given a hefty amount of the content and the other is shafted a little bit. And this cycle continues every 3 months. I hope if and when you return, they've come up with a more balanced schedule for patches.
