apparently, I can barely play on "Good" settings, and I need it at "Fair" or "Minimum" to get decent FPS...

my old comp, on Cata's sys req, forced me to play on Good or lower...whereas this one, could play it on High or lower, so that's saying something.

I'm guessing this $500 comp, just barely runs MoP as it stands...

On low settings my computer runs at 10 fps, and it's 2 years old. So ... yeah, the system requirements are very high.

does Blizzard enjoy making those on low income suffer or something...? unless you can afford a $1,500 comp, you won't be able to play MoP...is that what Blizz is trying to tell us...?
