I would like people who are stating what they are using in their pc versus the term "High-end PC." That can give the community a better grasp at what might be causing issues. We also have to remember, just because some computer part is expensive doesn't necessarily mean it was built for gaming.

I can confirm as well that a minimum spec PC causes aoe and etc to appear slower making the game a hard-mode all day.

Unfortunately even if you don't want to buy a newer computer to just play this game, in the near future we will all need to anyways. You can already expect the next generation of MMOs to be even more demanding. We tend to forget that FF14 ARR was actually dimmed down for better performance. Imagine if it wasn't.

At first I didn't want too but now I will buy a new gaming pc as well. I already logically know, if I want to continue playing MMOs I need a better PC period.
