So you literally advocate for the instanced world because you have a messed up computer, hence completely ruining the MMO aspect. There is nothing more to discuss here except asking if the word “selfish” means anything to you? Or why do you even want to play an MMO if you don’t want\can play and MMO? Ruining a game, because every sane person can agree that sharding is bad, just because you can’t afford a better PC is absurd.
It’s as much GPU dependent as CPU. In fact GPU gives you more performance boost than a CPU because the thesis about WoW being a CPU intense game was true about 15 years ago nowadays it’s peanuts. If WoW is maxing out a 3.50GHz CPU in your system I’d start to check what else is running in the system and what kind of add-ons you’re using because what you’re saying is absurd. I’d even say that it’s overkill of WoW in every capacity.
However, if you play on something with a ridiculously low amount of VRAM then this is your issue and not a CPU.
It’s rather ironic to even discuss that FX-6300 is not enough for WoW while system requirements for the game are as follows:
- CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 or AMD Phenom II X3 720.
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 440 or AMD Radeon HD 5670 or Intel HD Graphics 5000.
And that is modern WoW graphics, so for Classic it’s even lower considering that models in the original world are simpler.
You use the word inherently so often I don’t think you understand its meaning.
