In most MMO's that I have played there has been a 10-15fps difference in performance in playing in desert zones and forest zones. When I have had a crappy PC for a game I would intentionally play in desert zones to get a few extra FPS!

It also ruins the immersiveness of the game if I play the game with the LoD turned down so low that I have a 5 foot bubble surrounding my player of grass and objects etc. So I would in that case just turn off grass all together. Because I find it more distracting to have objects just pop into view just a few feet in front of me! I kinda fear this is how the PS3 will preform.

I think the grass looks fine, update your computer before crying the graphics suck. Oh what's that, you are playing on ps3? Then please shut up.

quite ignorant comment. upgrading computer wont make graphics better in-game.

Where did I say there is only 5 people?

I don't know how many are currently developing the game, I'm guessing a lot. But as you said, grass isn't on the top of the priority list and I think therefor shouldn't take development time from things that needs to be finished for launch. It's not like this thread is about balance or gameplay issues, it's about grass. Now if he played the beta and thought the class balance is all messed up, that is worthy of their attention. Complaining about grass before the game is even finished and knowing where the game was, is IMO not worthy of their attention at this time.

i'm pretty sure most of the stuff in graphical department is kinda finished, since they are probably near complete with all zones and such. Anyways, grass is as much a part of graphics, as placing trees, rocks, rivers or anything else that has anything to do with the way the landscape looks. So people should complain about them adding trees? OMG SE stop adding trees, rocks, rivers, and finish more important stuff, like summoner!; Which others mentioned already, but there's some people working on landscape assets, and others working on classes; so one does not exclude the other.

It's pretty big diff between ul'dah and grid grid is a lush forest, and should have plenty of trees and plants, for ul'dah it's more meh; its ok with some cactus' here and there, some dry bushes, maybe some grass in shaded areas.
