Your technology needs help... lots of help... lots and LOTS of help. :(

Except that on my system, which isn't high end, I have had zero performance issues since the first day of Early Access. You wanna blame that on BioWare, too?

When I play on my lower end machine it's generally ok (solo questing, flashpointing & WZing), but Ilum with a few is a slide show on any of my systems.

No, I read your post. My point was that posting in this manner on the forums isn't intended to actually help the devs or the game, it's more akin to getting attention for yourself from other people who are also mad and/or upset about the same thing. The whole "I know something, listen to me!" deal, and I have read part of your initial post before I just cannot remember where, but I'll figure that out later.

while standing around in my ship's hangar I have zero performance issues too! you know, realizing performance issues actually requires the ability to see them. I once read a post from a guy that claimed he had zero performance issues on his i7, 16gigs ram, geforce gtx560ti. for proof he posted a screenshot of a heavy fighting scene in huttball. the counter showed 25fps.

nevermind, even if you are able to see that you've got no issues - well, good for you. maybe you have the perfect system setup that makes this game run like smooth butter. I myself know people who also have no issues. but the majority has. but you're still just one person without issues - against thousands others. because YOU have no issues doesn't mean everybody else shouldn't have too. simple logic.

additionally thousands of other people complain about low fps and stuttering on good rigs, mainly in pvp environment, without any reason on their side, playing every other game on the market just fine.

where do you think all those fps issue threads came from? ten thousands of posts. the tech-savvy fellow players, some of them software engineers, who were posting some explanations like the disk i/o problems. blizzard troll poster? idiots? pc newbs?

Now you're just being condescending. I have about 2 decades of experience here. Don't need to prove anything to you.

The bottom line is that the issue is far from as simple as the OP is trying to make it sound.

Perhaps BW should have led out with an engine that wasn't so intensive, then updated it later, but I, personally don't see the need.

When loading in Corellia, I can go on holiday for a week and come back and then maybe it's loaded in.

Haha, same here! Corellia has some crazy objects, terrain and data, moreso than any other MMO I've played! That's probably why it looks so awesome.

geez, you're a dedicated fanboy. nothing in this game looks really good. not good enough to justify those loading times.

this thread is full of WIN

Oh, of course, yeah. Anyone who doesn't hate just to hate is a "fanboy". Far be it for anyone to actually enjoy this game! That's impossible! Ha! Only "fanboys" will enjoy any MMO! If you enjoy WoW, you're a WoW fanboy! If you enjoy RIFT, you're a RIFT fanboy! If you enjoy GW2, you're a GW2 fanboy! It's either fanboy or hater, isn't it?

Gawd, I'm so glad this world is so black and white! You have helped me see the light, Rikeryo, how can I ever repay you?!
