I've been playing this game with a core of about 25 people right through beta.
Only 1 has been experiencing these performance issues that, if you only read these forums, you would think are extremely widespread.
I sympathize with people who, right now, can't play the game. I'm just tired of moaning about the game being rushed, or being the buggiest pile of dogsh*t they've ever seen, when (and I admit I can't back this up with anything but my own personal observations) most of us are running without issue.
And if TWI wanted to make a game only to appeal to the games media, they should have shutdown their company and applied for jobs at Activision-Blizzard.
