Let's Talk : GRAPHICS

Yeah I believe in segregation for the win. You don't see Toyota Corolla's in a NASCAR race do you? I'm sure you don't see donkeys on the track at the Kentucky derby either. What SE has done with this game on PC and PS3 is equivalent to forcing NASCAR to randomly run their races with racers that are driving anything from a Ferrari to a moped. And because of the Duty Finder they don't know what kind of racer their going to get. And what's more these mopeds are invisible, they don't know they have one till their into lap 1.

Now I know some people can play on ps3 just fine. Our MT plays on PS3 and does a pretty good job of it. The problem I have with people on ps3 is anytime someone is royally screwing up repeatedly to the same thing over and over again, the first thing I see them type in chat is "Sorry I'm on PS3", it makes me want to rage kick them instantly and rep them. If PS3 is fine, stop blaming your fails on it. Saying it's causing your problems doesn't make me feel any better about it, it causes me to build bias towards the platform over time until eventually I'll leave my FC and form an All PC FC where I'll make people run a tool to give me their DXDiag's to join the FC.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying PC is perfect. Plenty of people are playing this game on toasters with 20 fps failing to get out of plumes on Titan HM. I even had a guy the other night tell me he plays with the arrow keys to move his character, his spells are bound to number pad, and he uses his mouse to move the camera. So when the dude needs to move he was to move his right hand off numpad to his mouse and move with the arrow keys. And doing so he says he can't always use his abilities before they are off the GCD.... When things got rough he would move without adjusting his camera, and as such walked off the titan platform a couple times....

Imo, people who play with WASD, and bind their abilities to shift 1-5, ctrl 1-5, alt 1-5, shift q, shit e, shift d, etc and keep their right hand on their mouse to move and never move their hands from their abilitiy to move or execute attacks with keybinds will always out perform most other setups. With 1 hand I can use every ability I have, and I can target anyone in my group with f keys and tab. As a tank I even have q and e set to cycle enimity targets so I can move through the enimity window targets with q,e since I use the mouse I can hold right click and straff with A D.

So I know PS3 is a viable platform, it just seems to me that more PS3 players play inefficiently on PS3 than they pc users. Also the shear fact that FFXIV is one of 2 cross platform mmo's ever made means more First Time MMO players are on PS3 than PC.

As such I think it would be a lot more fair to both sides if they were on their own servers.
