It is a bit like a car enthusiast wanting to ban the next model of Ferrari and trying to force everyone to drive something similar to the second car they just bought on ebay out of some idea of "fairness".

So who's bitching? And who implied in any way that "they personally" cannot afford such a system? It seems regardless of what one can or cannot afford will be a moot point when SoW comes out. There won't be system out that will be able to run it maxed out anyway, at least not right away. That was my main point. No one is trying to force anyone to do anything here. Do I really want to know where you got that? My idea of fairness is to ask that you read the whole thread, and maybe see that people are only talking opinions about, asking questions related to, and sharing knowledge of tech matters. You put too much into only a narrow perspective, imo. Besides, no car enthusiast (or flight sim fan) I ever met would think to ban progress let alone the next model of a Ferrari (or new pc technical stuff). So, well...please.
