Working till 3 pm so going to miss the first half , hopefully we save most of the action for the second half . <| sep |> please remember that it is the person , not the drug that creates the results . <| sep |> I actually know quite a bit , most likely more than you do . I work as a software engineer , know very well what goes on under the hood when a game is writing and reading to a disc , using it ' s cpu and gpu . I ' ve even assembled multiple PCs . Thanks ! Task manager usage clearly reads at 90 % Disk usage when the game is loading At least on my end , and on my guild members ' end as well which leads me to believe that Blizzard has a lot of stuff cached on your local disc as opposed to using more and more bandwidth . Any slow or partially corrupted disc will be very slow at loading the game . As for my laptop I actually installed WoW on the HDD not the SSD I keep that solely for the OS and nothing more . I ' m simply going off what I ' ve observed . People with rock star CPUs and GPUs are still noticing slow loading times and yet very few and taking a look at their potentially very old hard drive . Maybe don ' t jump to so much conclusions about stuff you clearly do know about me . Makes you look pretty stupid . Have a nice thanksgiving !
