It's a good way to reduce lag and to increase performance.

its always been like that. i noticed it first time when i was at my friends hosue and he was playing on his warrior. his FOW armor looked so nice compared to all the others i had seen, then i realised they tone it down to reduce lag.

yea, hence why when there were only a few warriors around with FoW armour in the early stages, everyone else would laugh at them and say things like "HAHAHA you wasted 200million on that shitty looking armour??"

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Keeps the frames up. Otherwise people with lower-end PCs would struggle to move around.
