Old Hardware = EU success?

Seeing many SGA entries pictures having the worst settings ingame I was wondering.

Is FPC supporting people with old/cheap/low hardware in regards of loot?

So I basically made the big mistake to get me a new machine capable of highest settings and now I am flagged as "Has enough money to buy a VU10.0 capable rig, so doesn't need loot, let him deposit." ??

50% joking 50% confusion ?% true? (yeah I know its more than 100...)




So whats your choice?

running mainly on low for hunting, med for just messin around
In all honesty i have been here for over 3 years, and ive seen some bad loot periods. I must say that my average returns on hunting are probly around 75%(which is about the same at any given moment in the older versions) but the thing that i like most about SGA is not that fact that i have still failed to loot a SGA item, Its the fact that during sga i have looted some of the best items i have ever looted(including Rutaba backstrap M, Nemesis Footguards M, Marber Bravo, and some hairstylist sheers) Compared to the reg TT food that i normally get, i would have to say quality of loot has gone up for me, just not the amount)
