Why this game has huge FPS drops in cities?

I played a lot of MMOs in my life, some with the same graphic quality of ESO or even better and i always had 60 stable FPS in cities.
Why ESO is so "heavy" in cities?
I mean, i play at stable 60fps everywhere but in cities.
My specs:
i5 3570k 3.8ghz
R9 290 Tri-X OC 4GB DDR5
Ram 8GB DDR3 1333mhz

    Its not just cities also in some dungeons, trials, cyrodiil + lag.

    I am not an expert on this, but my guess would be, because there are many players concentrated in small areas (city)

    It has to be the close proximity to everything in the cities. More things to render with buildings and players on the screen. My FPS runs at 100 ourside of Rawlkha and then dips down to 57-75 in the City area.

    Pvp.... game lags more there then anywhere else. Until the lag in Cyrodiil is fixed, I'm on a permanent break from Eso. Done supporting a company who has no clue what they are doing. It's a shame too, this game could have been so good too.....

    That's because PCs tend to have MUCH better graphics and which also require better systems... and most that experience FPS issues are those who have lessor systems than others.

    Also, it is not uncommon to experience FPS issues in cities because A) there are a LOT more players concentrated in cities which requires more rendering, and B ) because cities tend to have more architecture, which obviously adds even more rendering. This is also an MMO, which means other players are not 'static'... it is one thing to LOAD a city where everything is designed and nothing random happens... but in an MMO, with other players running around doing random things, it adds many variables that must be randomly displayed- which also adds to FPS issues.

    I think he's a troll, don't bother reply to him.
    A friend of mine plays with a PS4/XBOXONE and has fps drops in almost all games plus fps lock to 30 in a lot of games too.
    There's really nothing to compare between PC and consoles...
