    Hate on PS3's, at least form me, isn't really stereotyping... It's an opinion based on my observations. E.g. our first Garuda Attempt I had a conversation that went something like this,

    -> "How come you keep standing in the eye of the storm"
    <- "I'm lagging really bad and can't move out fast enough"
    -> "Why don't you just stand with us in the first place and move when we move"
    <- "It's hard to see where I am going"
    -> "Why?"
    <- "I'm on PS3"
    -> "So, it's playable on Ps3"
    <- "Well my TV is 13 inches and it's not HD"
    .........

    99% of people on a PC have at least 1280X1024, most have 1920X1080, and people like me have 2560X1440. Hardcore gamers on PC's have expensive rigs (mines worth about $3000 total) and we spend weeks or months reading/learning what IT Skills we need to maximize the performance of our rigs.

    So to resummarize, my hate isn't against the PS3 player base in general, it's against people with the lack of technical knowledge to allow themselves to play the game the best they can. E.g. Using a 13" TV, or expecting to be able to do titan on an HP Pavilion with stock GPU and 300Watt PSU. I mean it's 2014, anyone playing games and calling themselves a Gamer should know how to hook up an HD TV, swap in a new keyboard, install a new GPU, upgrade a PSU, run a wired network, etc etc etc.

    And TBH If the PS4 were to come out and everyone got one, and everyone used an HDTV then the overall experience of the player base would be better because PS4's unlike PC's are optimized OOTB and they are more capable of handling the game than some people's PC's.

    So for me it's more along the lines of frustration because I spent months tweaking/upgrading my PC and mazimizing it's performance, Weeks Of benchmarking and overclocking so that I could have the best playing experience possible when this game came out. Then I get in there and am forced to run a lot of content with a lot of people (which I'm fine with content wise) and not being able to down it because 50% of the people I run content with LAG or Fail on movement and blame their PS3, Old PC, LAG, Wifi, Their ISP etc etc etc.

    I mean I challenge anyone to make be believe legitally that the problem is SE's Servers In Montreal. On every occassion I've found where someone blames that on their failure to get out of red circles I've been able to point my finger at something on their end. Their ISP is Dialup, their PC is up to spec but their PSU is being chocked (300 watts), they only have 256 meg of ram, Their PS3 is on a WIFI adapter over a 3G network, they share 512kbps with 10 people in one house, etc etc etc.
