Well yeah that is expensive but example of the sport I play football (thats soccer) a ball, your mates cost zip  :lol

Unless you walk to games, you would have to include the expense of buying the bike, moped, car, plus insurance if it applies and fuel if needed.  So, no it's not just a $25.00 ball anymore, so AH is still the cheapest hobby at $15.00 a month.

Ever since their introduction to the home, computers have required replacement or upgrade every 2-3 years in order to stay current with new software.  It's been that way since the early 80's.
My four year old computer runs AH 2.14 at max detail, 1920x1280 (no AA) just fine.

I think most of you are missing the issue the low end users have with this update.  All the points being made about computers needing to be upgraded are all good points and true, but they don't address this issue specifically.  The issue is that the game upgraded, but the graphics got incredibly worse for us.  I don't think there would be as much complaint if the graphics got slightly better for us, and we took a frame rate hit or couldn't play at all tbh.  So granted, the issue at hand is a peculiar one, being able to fly for years with relatively good graphics, to all of a sudden, an update that turns your graphics into the likes of a Nintendo 64.  Personally though, I found settings that make the game playable, but the older version had much much better graphics on my system.

This issue seems to be purely you, from what I have seen all the graphics have taken large steps forward

My computer is four years old.  It runs it just fine at resolutions far higher than most people play and at max detail.  If your system cannot handle this game then either you are on a business computer or have such an ancient system as to make your requests ridiculous.  You don't have to upgrade every year or two, but at least two or three times a decade.
