I am preatty kitten ed off by ANet. It has been over one year and three months and OS X client is still in beta? Not to mention it works really bad on newest (!) MacBooks -.-.

I can play GW2 on max details when using Windows (Bootcamp) with average 35~40 frames per second, but on OS X I do not get even half of the frame rate. Not to mention Cinder is bad at supporting high density screens (i.e. Retina display). Trying to play GW2 on OS X has been a horror…

Word of advice for ANET about OS X client: If you can’t do something “great”, don’t do it at all. I have been waiting really long for GW 2 OS X client worth using and I need to say I have grown distrustful towards ANET – they simple do not keep their promises.

Sidenote: I really can not understand why Apple won’t buy DirectX license from Microsoft – I know it can be bought since Sony did it for PS4. Or at very least they could mimic DirectX interface with their own implementation – it’s not like any programing library interface can be licensed.
