[Dev] Overtaxation of PC Hardware

That's besides the fact that even those games that are technically and empirically superior to FF14, don't make the fans run as wild as FF14.

Games aren't suppose to turn a PC into a giant toaster oven. There is almost no reason those fans should be going crazy. There are higher performer games that make this thread relevant.

Being a beta tester, we've known this since forever. We've had all sorts of excuses, they're all been lay to rest. We've had it released, we had newer drivers, we've had tests done. This isn't smoke and mirrors and the finger is pointed straight at FF14.

This actually was brought up in Beta, and I believe SE told us they knew about it then and it was in the code for the game to constantly monitor our PC's. That was the first excuse they gave us and should have been the smoking gun from the get go. Performance has yet to really increase as it pertains to PC users, and this is definitely something SE needs to work on ASAP.
