GFX: Please add Draw Distance options/slider to configuration

[sirdayne]

I just started FFXIV a few days ago. One thing I've noticed is that on my current hardware, is that there is a certain "sweet spot" for the camera, and that's when the camera is pointed slightly toward the ground, limiting the amount of distance the computer hardware draws.
This is an old trick I've used in PC gaming for a long time when computer performance is less than satisfactory or when the computer struggles from a demanding game (such as FFXIV).

When I have the camera angled just right I get about 20~25 FPS; 5~10 FPS maximum otherwise.

Settings -
Windowed, 1280x720
Low Textures
"Background Quality": 2
"General Drawing Quality": 6


Please don't tell me to "go buy a new computer." That is not a solution for me. The purpose of my posting is to point to the setting that says Background Quality, and suggest that there needs to be an additional option added to this either in-game via a slider, or through ffxivconfig.exe.
Bottom line:
There needs to be a new setting for Draw Distance. This could help many vastly improve client performance without sacrificing visual quality.
