Or since this is the first expansion to the game, ditch that terrible monstrosity known as a Steam, pick up a real copy of ARR for like 20 bucks and pre-order the physical collector's edition? Yes I know it requires you to spend 20 more dollars, however, honestly the fact you are playing an MMO on such a dated, terrible customer serviced OS is beyond any bit of reason. Just drop Steam its only good for really old games (single player ones) that go on sale for pennies on the dollar--so to speak.

But asking for a change this late in the game probably won't happen, to be honest. It sucks I know, but seriously...just drop the Steam client, its terrible.
