I really don't understand why this game has such high demands on systems, the graphics are roughly comparable to ten year old single player games. WoW and LOTRO both have better graphics in my opinion, and are far more optimized. I'm not speaking out of preference for either of them, it's just that this game should NOT need all the resources it does. Running smoother on more systems only nets you more paying customers after all. Leave it to EA to rush something out the gate before it was finished.
