i can run pretty much every PC game perfectly, and i actually BUILT a pc in anticipation for ffxiv. and despite basically building a pc for this game (of course ive found a lot of fun in OTHER games) i still couldnt run it as well as i wanted.

honestly im always at around 40 fps or worse and puts a strain on my pc. the game is pretty but i just dont understand why its not optimized at all like some other games! its not fun to spend a lot of time on an mmo if its not running nicely., imo. and i cant ever get a clear answer from people exactly WHAT i need to get to run this game perfectly.

so i just assume NOBODY runs this game well, which is sad.

We are all on the same boat, the game runs crappy for 99% of its players.
I wouldn't say 99%... It runs fine for me... I get 60fps
It runs hot.. yea... but its not crappy or unplayable
And it frikkin looks great
