Mac client needs to be reborn..? :(

[Nemna]

Hi all,

I'm not sure if I should be posting this here or trying to go directly through support. I have been playing ARR for about a month using my Mac in Boot Camp. A friend got me hooked with the promise of the upcoming Mac client, and this morning I eagerly downloaded the DMG file (huge!), downloaded the patch (also huge!) and then was sorely disappointed to find that the Mac client itself was a laggy mess, even with the settings bottomed out and my resolution reduced to almost nothing.

My machine is NOT a small fry. It's a year or two old now, but it's an i7 MacBook Pro with 16GB of ram and dedicated nvidia graphics (2GB). The Windows client performs flawlessly on this machine. The Mac client is barely better than when I attempted to run the Windows client through Parallels. I would argue that it is almost unplayable.
