Hero Engine: why?

I don't need to know everything about game engines to know, that something with lower res textures and models should run at least as smooth as any other game with similar graphics and similar design. I played a lot of MMOs before, took part in 150 vs 150 battles in Lineage 2, in massive zerg fights in Aion, did raids and PvP in WoW and nothing, I mean nothing compares to the crap here. I had 80fps fighting at the gates of Aden, I could actually see the animations in gargantual zergfights in Abyss, but somehow I have 2fps all the time in 40vs40 fights on Ilum. That's how I know this engine sucks old socks. I don't have to be an engine developer to say that much.

Can you prove that it's the engine at fault?

You always post "can you prove" but no one seems to answer you, a little odd isnt it?

looking at HE's website, it does look like a great system, but... what version of HE is SWToR using?

Can you prove this?

First of all, Eclipse was CREATED by Bioware itself to be Windows AND Mac ready and, compared to the original Warcraft III engine used by Blizzard to make WoW's, Eclipse was pretty much ready for it's development to continue into the MMO genre and thus for use with this game, and by far more optimized than Hero Engine.
