If you have so much money buy a real computer! =p

That is ***. Most of the people I know who only own macs are too illiterate to operate PC's without clicking the fake download buttons that install spyware, and then they're too stupid to install real anti-malware so they need a Mac; security through obscurity. They think "Macs just work" and spend the extra thousand dollars.

A Mac is not a sign of affluence. If you have to lead or trail something with "no offense but" it's probably offensive.

You 7.69% are probably not much of an immediate concern to garner such a request.

Remember, people who own Macs generally have money -- we can afford to pay your subscription fees (no offense, PCers). You want to keep us as customers. In fact, given that we use Macs, you can probably charge us twice as much in subscription fees and we'll still pay it (no offense, me, other Mac users). Fix the PvP for Macs. Please.

Although the humor is noted, in reality if people can afford a Mac or a PC in general, they can afford the sub fees; so the argument is weak.

Why do people always insist on making it the age old PC V Mac argument?

The post is valid - all the while a tad humorous. Why should people who play on a supported platform not get the same quality of service as the rest of the PC users?

The answer is simple - they should get the same level of service. This is not PC V Mac as much as it is - Supported platform V quality of service.

Try growing up if you want to take part in a grown up conversation.

Now..Covert...about that mac....really?

I know I know. A change is coming, I swear.

If the game said it would work on mac , then it should , even if i think it is indeed a bad gaming option.

Personally OP , i would try atleast run the game on windows.

I got TOLD!

Mac are for people who can't seem to STFU about their OS, elitists or people who just don't want to game. I would add the other option but I will save ZOS a forum edit.

Zeni says the game will run on a mac and that it's a supported platform. Where in his OP does he argue his mac is or should be or could be better than a PC as a gaming platform?



If the game can be and is supported to be played on a mac then it should run at least as well as on a PC - it doesn't - that's the issue.

I do feel for the Mac users, but I don't get it why it should be rated better as a PC is all lol.. yes the game do support Macs, but it doesn't mean that they are any better than PC's, think of the mac like a prestige thing or piece of fashion rather in which PC's can be as well.

Superiour GFX, am a little but confused, personally I prefere PC's because I can upgrade them in whichever way I want or get them build after my needs and having the same superiour GFX as a Mac if not a couple of times better.

I did read what the Op typed down, but he is wrong with it being the better option for gaming, even quality wise and I am kind of amused by why it has issues as well since technically that ESO is old... I could buy a Mac and be smock and think I am better than everyone else or I could spend the same money and get a better alternative by putting together a PC as well as faster and more smooth GFX that looks just stunning or even being superiour to a Mac, I could run with a 4K monitor here as it is as well no problem, but the price to pay vs the gain and technical down performance is not worth it just yet for me.

For an instance looked up the macs and the configurations, some of the prices they charge for components compared to what they really cost is insane 1TB SSD at roughly 1.4k USD for an instance 32GB Ram for a buttload of money as well and it only being at 1600MHz.. could get 32 GB ram working at up to 2400MHz for lesser amount of money.

The price of the system I configured without any extra programs and the likes was around somewhere between 4 and 5k USD, but compared to what you DO get... it would be more fun to be eccentric and light up cigars with 100 dollar bills, because you are not really getting alot of value for your money compared to how nasty a PC at the same price at todays standards would be compared to that and yet have better looking GFX, and much faster.

The plus about Mac though is that it is a work station which makes sense for going something alike Mac Pro, for working on stuff, the hardware inside a mac and a pc is the same as well whenever it get to it.

The solution I chosed was with a 780 nvidia card but overall cost would be able to build a similiar system with two nvidia Titan Blacks in sli which perform quite a bit better and even looking much better as long as buying a good monitor.

Oh jesus I just worked out who the OP is Covert-ops ? I remembered being in a raid with you banging my head on the desk as you waffled in a Texan drawl on about how much money you had and your set up while the rest of sat wondering why you felt the need to tell us this. I hope you never get it working you are the worst kind of person >.<

Apologies if this isn't you but the names/big noting seems to be matching.

Texas? Wrong guy.

This is the main reason I hate iCrap users. The attitude! Who the heck do you think you are?! You might as well say you can afford to pay because you're obviously stupid enough to pay more to play on the same hardware as anyone else with poorer performance just to belong to an "elite" group of clueless consumers. Unbelievable!!

Dude, I was being silly. See how I insulted us Mac users in the very next sentence?
