[Dev] Overtaxation of PC Hardware

[Rowyne]

Folks posting complaints in this thread might not know it, but SE already did a "fix" for overtaxation of hardware once in beta -- they capped the framerate to 60fps! PLEASE consider that if you keep complaining, they will almost certainly reduce the cap to 30fps (as it was in the alpha test), rather than doing a proper job of client optimization. I don't know about y'alls, but one of the major appeals to me of XIV over XI is that it's not capped at a headache-inducing 29.7fps. It would make me a very sad taru to have to endure another 8 years of choppyness.

I doubt they would resort to another such shortcut instead of optimizing the game correctly. They're under the microscope right now.
