So no, it's not incredibly ignorant to call it user error. What you call a consequence of the client I easily turn around and call a consequence of ISPs and Router Setups refusing to move into the current century. The issue with that is such download setups can choke a router by forcing all the traffic through a single point of contact rather than the hundreds of thousands built into modern routers. What you're saying is that it's developers faults for not hosting their downloads exclusively through port 80 or 2020, which are the only ports universally open on any router. It has very, very little to do with architecture and so much more to do with how your router is set to recieve and send incoming connections. So claiming this doesn't happen in WoW is staggeringly off base.)) ((BTW, the Linksys Standard Game Setting for FFXIV's required ports is actually by default named "World of Warcraft" on most router presets. Port Forwarding literally cannot cause a computer program to somehow do what it's trying to do at connecting work better, it just makes your computer able to actually access the ports you need to for the download via your router. Port Forwarding is a tool that fixes and overcomes issues with a user's LOCAL AREA NETWORK, not a specific program.

I'm sorry but many of those games actually have the same issues for different people.

Many other games update without having router issues, such as World of Warcraft and literally anything on Steam. This is a consequence of how they architected their update client. There is no such thing as a download that requires port forwarding.
