So after almost a week of these issues, I've concluded that my problems are definitely caused by High Sierra and not the game client. This is because the game only experiences issues when I start it up after it being put to sleep. Apparently, it's a power management thing that is a known issue for High Sierra.The game works pretty much as before if I restart my computer and then start the game.

I'm on a late 2015 MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM and since the release of the mac client I've seen its performance slowly improve. It got to the point where I didn't even have to play on the absolute lowest settings anymore. Until.. I updated to High Sierra last week. Now even on the absolute lowest settings I get a max of 9 FPS, which often drops down to 6 FPS just moving around on a map. It literally makes the game unplayable.In return the game is a lot quieter now because the fans don't go on since the game only uses a WHOPPING 33% OF 1 CPU. Is this problem caused by the game client or is this High Sierra?Either way, please help! I want to play! Edit: I've found a tip online; Restart and then play. This at least helps the FPS a bit (15-20) for me. Apparently there's an issue with the power management of.. something after you let it fall asleep? IDK. Anyway, restarts before you play may help a little.

The arrogance of the L2P commenters in here just infuriates me. I'm not a terrible player; I got through all the story content before, completely on my own. And yet with the soul eater I had to give up after over an hour of not getting his HP below 60%. This is because I do not have a high DPS build and all the CC I had was slow CC. I knew the mechanic, but I simply could not manage the timing. Later that evening I managed to cheese it, but that is clearly not the way you are meant to do it. IMO; If you recognise the mechanics and know what to do about it; you should be able to do any fight. But in this fight the extremely short CC window makes it near impossible for some. And to add insult to injury; if you give up you have to do this stupidly long instance alllll over again. I would feel differently if it was completely optional content like raids, but it's not.
