Me? I've got a mortgage, two very large car payments, bills, and 2 kids myself. I also have a 3 year old laptop that can run this game good enough for my standards.

arghhh.. for anyone else that takes offense to that, forgive me... I just cannot stand free-loaders. Chances are my tax money paid for that $2500 machine he's bragging about...
And here I was thinking I was the only one thinking this.. QFT
Whatever the question, Stock Strike is the answer.

Yeah a car and rent, try doing that when you have 4 kids, bills a mortgage , a couple of cars, rates. I could go on but really it is not worth the trouble. The point is yeah i can save get a few parts here and there then put it all together when i have everything i need. But not everyone can just go out and blow a heap of money on something that is not a priority.

People saying i don't understand why people don't have a machine that will run it on max settings, thats right you don't understand cause you are just arrogant.

Edit: Some one of you people don't seem to get what i am trying to say , i am talking about people who seemingly must have 10+ year old computers because because even computers 3-4 years old could run this game fine and ram is so extremely cheap nowdays my friend bought 16 gig of ram for 120 dollars , so buying 2-3 more gig isn't going to make you starve if you have the 59.99$ to buy this game and then 15$ sub i dont see how you don't seem to have the money to upgrade your computer out of the stone age
WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING... laptop for 200-300 bucks that can run this game on max settings?

Seriously.. Do you have any hardware knowledge what so ever?

It is very easy for an uninformed consumer/gamer to spend a $500 for a computer with an 250mb integrated video card that stutters to play TOR at 20FPS. The sales agent me and my brother spent most of our time with was under the impression that the CPU determines how well your system can play a game as so was my brother. While this is true to a certain extent she was un-familiar with what a GPU was. Thankfully I went and my brother got a good machine that can handle most games very well.
LOL sells people gun sell. People need to read up online...in 2 hours people could be able to understand how all the hardware in your computer works.

I don't think anyone is complaining about not being able to run their crappy pc on MAX settings. So I'm not sure why you even bothered with posting this thread. It just comes across as indirect self boasting.

haha
I'm still using a Conroe and been able to run games like wow, lotro on max. Why would I spend money to upgrade my pc every year? I would better spend those 300$ on weekend in Paris than a new cpu...

Oh BTW anyone buying a computer more than 1000 dollars is spending too much...learn to build your own systems people. Saves thousands literally.

Thats not a very good arguement since pretty much everyone buys a new computer every few years.

Instead of going to best buy or walmart to buy a system you should invest the extra $200 and get a real gaming cpu build

My athlon 64 x2 build from like 5 years ago runs swtor and every other game on the market fine.

yeah this is what i am trying to say , the game isn't exactly taxing on your system people either have hardware issues or have a computer created in the 90s with integrated graphics on windows 98 my 4 year old computer can run this fine and todays standards you could pick it up for around 200 bucks if that
