To be fair, there's a reason for this. Not only is there astronomically more variation in gear, but Aion also has to send you roughly 5x as much information per character due to its level of character creation detail.Quote:

The media and the players can say whatever the hell they want about the game, it won't be fixed any faster regardless.
The developers may have a huge list of flaws and additions they want to fix, they aren't any less informed about the shortcomings of the game than we are. Fixing them takes time, money and manpower and even the gigantic Square-Enix only has so much of each at their disposal. You don't simply pull people from other projects to work on the game and expect it to work either.
Why it must be said repeatedly time and time again, I have no idea. -

I am kind of laughing at IGN and PCGAMER reviews, Iv been playing mmorpgs since the start of the alphas around 1995 and the first launch in 97 of the first successful mmorpg UO. They said a vet will have trouble playing the game.... its not too hard to figure out if the author is a vet mmorpg player then I must be a Jedi Master.... interface is not hard to figure out... if you played an old mmorpg/rpg its easy to figure out. Just small quirks here and there the hardest thing for me was setting up the account with 3 codes, 3 dif urls, and not knowing I had to unlock a character slot to make a character and play the game...

The best explanation I can think of is what Betelguzah said. The engine is poorly optimized for PC hardware. -
