This is starting to turn into Blizzard Diablo 3 2.0

You're looking at it incorrectly.

It's not that they're prioritizing useless stuff. It's that the people who work on the "useless shit" are not the same people who work on other parts of the game. It is not ucommon to have content designers, which are separate from graphic designers, which are separate from client programmers, which are separate from server programmers, which are separate from ... you get the idea.

Just because they release gems, skills, effects, etc.. does not mean they don't have OTHER people working on network code, server code, stability, etc.

They said themselves in an interview that they're aware of the problem and that it isn't a priority. I understand the differences in departments they have, what I'm implying is that they're aware of an issue effecting a majority of players yet stated it isn't a priority. Whomever, or whatever department works on issues related to this should make it a huge priority since it's almost impossible to play and effects a large group of players. I like this game a lot and want to play Hardcore until end-game, it's this issue that is stopping not just me, but a ton of others as well from doing so. They're putting out great content, and patches with better aesthetic fixes, new abilities, etc. and I'm grateful that they release content weekly, almost daily, but it's hard to experience the content when the game is dropping frames like crazy.

I believe the problem to be that they are putting out new patches to often they don't complete testing the patches before they are out.
I didn't lose fps until patch 0.10.5b where i had a stable of 160 on max settings
Now i have texture set to 7 in config and resolution set to 800x600 and i have a stable of about 500 fps when i play but i can't use any auras and i can't face any monsters with auras then my fps goes down to 2-15 fps. in special maps i can't even play without auras like docks and western forest where i have always 2-15 fps.

I really enjoy this game but i just can't play and this need to be fixed or im forced to leave this game and maybe do a comeback in a year and hope it's fixed

Yup I´m not sure which patch it was exactly but my FPS drops have gotten significantly worse over the last week or so. It used to be that I would get drops when in the docks or in groups, now it just happens all the fucking time. I can´t even traverse maps anymore without it just being extremely choppy and laggy. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER PLEASE

Not being able to fix or alleviate the problem is bad enough but when patches actually increase the problem I really start wondering what the fuck is going on
