Just did a WB and was getting 20-25fps during the fight, and didn't see any problems with avoiding stuff and getting my abilities off. So I'm with you, I don't see how 30fps can be bad /shrug.

For the past 2-3 years the connection to WoW servers has been deteriorating. Note that i say "connection to WoW servers" because just cause you dont have a problem with any other game on your end doesnt mean the problem is with this one game. There was actually an issue with one of the hops between peoples ISP and the WoW servers that was timing out. Usually the particular hop that was having trouble was labeled as AT&T in tracerT. Just a 2-3 months ago WoW had a bunch of disconnect issues that affected mostly TWC and other ISPs affiliated with them. At the time i was playing i was online during non peak hours at like 1-3am pacific time but i would DC 20-30 times in the span of 2-3 hours (and no that 20-30 is not an exaggeration). Lots of other people were having DC issues during the same time period and they were almost always TWC/affiliated ISP users. Now you would think that if the problem isnt your PC or the WoW servers then it must be TWC right? well TWC would point the finger at WoW/Blizzard saying they were the cause and WoW/Blizzard would point the finger at TWC and say they were the issue. Of course the problem ended up being one of the hops, usually an AT&T hop that was causing a lot of people to lose packets or whatever at that hop.

Exactly this. Way back in my EQ2 days I found that my top of the line gaming pc wouldn't run the game on more than 3-10fps. ...Yet my daughter's old clunker ran it near flawlessly. My conclusion? The game was optimized for a much smaller/lesser pc set up than the one I had. I pulled my old system out of the closet (I'm notorious for not throwing stuff away when I should) and it ran great there too. I know that's just one game with no connection to this one but its a good lesson to learn.

If your components dont work well with each other, your system can still run shitty. We dont know what MB you have, we dont know what HDD or SSD you use etc.. ( Also I7 3.4 Ghz, not that great) And why on earth such a grafic card, but on the other hand cheap on RAM=? Even after that much is to consider ( What Programs are you using, what is running in the background) But the most important thing is dont use CCleaner of PCSpeedup Programs, the often to more harm than the help.

I do get over 60fps in Wildstar itself. And dropping down to 30 or lower during extreme encounters like a WB fight with 40+ people didn't make my gameplay bad. I was able to avoid stuff that was avoidable(within my reaction time anyway :P), and my abilities were hitting. Only issues I had was that I had never done King Plush before and didn't research him before hand, so I didn't know what to watch for. But then again, I'm 38, grew up on what would be considered crappy tv screens and graphics, need new glasses, and playing current games at high graphics settings give me headaches and eyestrain :P

And it's ridiculous that you have to come in and insult the people you disagree with. If you'd read what I wrote, you'd see I was just relating an experience I had and wondering why 30 fps is so awful and would make an encounter unplayable when I had 25 fps during a WB fight and was doing OK with it. None of the mess-ups I had during it were because of my framerates.

Ti is not the best on market. In fact Ti models have less features than some of the older models. You also referenced a bunch of other games that take very little gpu and processing power in comparison to this game. I have worse specs on my computer but I can run it with 50-60 fps pretty much everywhere. I'd reccomend lowering your settings because your build isn't nearly as powerful as you think it is. Drop about 15k on your rig and you might have something that can run this game at max settings at all times with also seeing the high fps. Other than that you're just deluding yourself.
