    This is one of the reasons, the other one is SE made this game casual friendly.
    There is a simple solution to that: do not deliver a poor performance. Come on, this is a video game. It's not exactly rocket science.
    You want to do savage/Ex, you need to have the proper numbers to kill them anyway.

    As for dungeons: it's super rare that people even bother to look at parses b/c stuff dies anyway.

    I never stated that you do not feel the difference. I certainly can't play any game below 60FPS anymore, going into places like Eulmore where 60FPS is virtually impossible due to single threaded coding limitations annoys me enough as it is.

    What I am arguing against is that it has a profound impact on a players output. That is simply not true. This is an MMO with a long GCD not a twitchy shooter. We generally only perform one action every few seconds.

    Don't you get that?
    That's not what an MMORPG is about.
    That's the exact kind of thinking that has ruined the genre.
    Uuh apart from role play (which I happen to like but is super rare to actually encounter) and maybe crafting/market what else is there left to form a community about?
    Questing? Freeloot dungeons (deliberately neutered so "speshil snowflakes" can clear them too)?

    No, the majority of the time spent is in endgame and the majority of community interactions revolve around how to defeat tough bosses.
    You don't need a "community" in order to tackle FFs 24man raids. Randomly thrown together groups clearing them with ease proves that.

    Dang I'd love to have your disposable income.
    A 2080Ti would eat away a years worth of saving for me. :X
