If you can buy a better PC for those who can’t afford a great computer to run on better quality, then we can remove it.

It’s crazy how SSDs returned to their old price back in the day (~2017 or something) where that technology was still pretty new.

So you said “€100 is easy if you look hard enough” really misses the reality for many people. Across much of Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe, and most of Asia, that sum is often a full week’s earnings or more after taxes, not to mention the goddamn high shipping costs and local market prices that drive everything up. Just because hardware is old and cheap where you live doesn’t mean it’s affordable everywhere. That GTX 600 might be some very new and high-end tech for undeveloped countries and probably might even cost 200 euro for taxes and shipping costs.
You keep bringing up your own upgrade history, from a GT630M laptop until 2020, then gradually transitioning to a desktop, and only reaching Ryzen + 4070S in 2023-2024 – so why lecture everyone else to “just upgrade now” when you spent years happily playing on low-end hardware yourself? “Because I got good laptop and everything upgraded so nobody is allowed to use ULQ anymore.”
You do realise that that premium content costs differently across the world, especially in undeveloped nations. Let’s say a premium account costs 60 euro in Europe but probably costs 5 euro in Africa. However, buying those computer components and upgrading somehow in this world doesn’t work like that. Instead of being cheaper, it gets more expensive. Like, an Apple Mac M1 Pro costs like $1000 in North america, and in Asia it cost around 1200.

The only use for ULQ is for people to easier see enemies at this point.

I have to use ULQ anytime I wanna play away from home on my laptop or I get like 20fps.
If I use ULQ I get around 50-60fps which is fine to play at since this game is not as fast paced as something like CSGO

That’s like saying shooting your cannon is basically cheating. Anyone can do it.

Then advocate for a ULQ option for console players.
Do they reallym
Nah I’d much rather it not exist period.
So everyone should be forced to use whatever graphics setting your PC and your PC in particular can handle?
No…but people abuse it sooo lets take it away.
There’s also been reports that people have been abusing “firing their cannon” and unfairly killing others with it.

this like “ah yes lets cut off a big chunk of the playerbase because i now have a better computer and gaijin should shoot themselves in the foot by doing this”. wtf is going on in that head of yours, many people just dont have access to those fancy graphics cards and with the prices going up and up its not gonna be so “cheap” anymore.

Not everyone has access to cars, so let’s not build paved roads; that way, those with horses can continue to travel on dirt tracks.
It’s the same reasoning.
Personally, I don’t care. If some people want to try hard in ULQ, what do you want me to say?
It’s sad for them, that’s all. And for those who can only play in ULQ, it’s better than nothing.
Even though we need to be realistic, video games aren’t an accessible hobby, and anyone who claims otherwise is lying.
Several times people here have said they can’t afford a good PC. I’ve offered to send a PC for free (1060 6GB, i5-9600, 16GB RAM) several times, but strangely enough, I’ve never received a reply. ;)
No it is not. Yeesh.
It’s actually the opposite. Prople are suggesting that horses be banned from dirt tracks and all dirt tracks to be removed so that only people with cars can get around via paved roads.

It is,
Thank you for your constructive contribution to the debate. No doubt I don’t engage in dialogue with people who can’t express themselves properly ;)
