I myself, would recommend you bite the bullet so you don't have to spend God knows how long trying to resolve an issue in a vidya. Your time is more valuable than this, trust me. Good luck everyone.
I really won't have cash to buy new gear for quite some time, and even if I had, why would I waste it only for the sake of FFXIV, while all other games I care about still play well for me. What this game isn't worth of is all that money, my time I think I'm spending it well.
It seems you're high on cash so it doesn't seem to matter to you that SE screwed the game although the benchmark told us it was gonna play well.
Then well, just buy your new gear and go live your life (and if you buy it and it doesn't solve the issue as clearly it's not "old gear" fault, then buy it again until it works, it doesn't seem to matter to you), and leave us alone to be "miserable" all we want.
