I've had this discussion so many times Ninja and I'm gonna keep asking those who question the fact that the game is not supposed to be performing this bad;
Why is every other game working as intended, giving the exact performance you expect from your computer, except SWTOR which gives you so much less performance than expected.
Please answer this question with a good answer and maybe you'll surely understand.
Oh yeah, I'm not the only one with the problem, check "Horrid FPS" thread. It's dead though, people unsubbed/gave up because Bioware denied the facts and ignored all the questions instead of communicating.
