I like this game alot.. I think it was well thought of and those that created it have had the best of intentions...but for me it seems like it's gotten away from them. Just like a 2 year old who thinks playing in the water from a hose would be fun then he turns the water on to max and gets chased around by the flailing serpent of water that is the water erupting from the end of the hose. This game was fun initially. And I still like it but I'm sick and tired of several things...
 
1 - Every other game I have played in the last year as well as currently I can play on mid to high graphics without any lag. This game has pushed me to where I feel like I am playing 8 bit Minecraft. I do not have a subpar system either.. I have an I7 3635qm 2.4 ghz, 16 gb ram, Nvidia GeForce GT 650m with 8gb ram, Over a Terabyte of free space and more.. EVERY game I can easily play on mid ot high level graphics without lag at all.. GW2,ESO, EQ2, Batman Arkham City, all the latest. For some reason Wildstar crawls like a handicapped Strain creature being killed. Especially when alot of mobs or players are on the screen. I don't know HOW they are mismanaging their resources to cause this but if I wanted to play 8 bit Minecraft I would!
 
2 - Unstable Servers... Never have I ever played an MMO with more unstable servers crashing than this one. I don't know what is going on but every other night the servers die and fail it seems like.. tonight on a big play night start of a 3 day weekend for most, servers once again started booting people and crashing.. 
 
3 - Developers who don't communicate or pay attention to major class issues. The developers touted in several interviews when this game started that they would be a force for the people! they would communicate with the players! things would get done!.. So far this has felt like a Presidential Campaign where the potentials all make big promises but never do anything. Never have I seen so little communication and such a lack of attention to classes than in this game. Ever patch seems to be... oh we repaired the way the Lopp's talk so they don't sound so creepy.. or we fixed it so this dungeon doesn't look so scary anymore.. tons of frills and decorating fixes to make it look nifty without making strides forward to repair major class issues. 
 
This is a plea to the developers.. PLEASE for the love of PETE!!! start paying attention!! This game has so much potential but it is loosing players left and right due to these issues and many more! I love the idea of this game, but the implementation has been sickly and sad. Please take notice of this! All these issues have felt like a slowly creeping desire to cancel my subscription and go to a game with less vision but more stability and with developers who communicate and get things done!
 
(steps off soapbox) there I'm done.. Flame on! I don't care, I'm tired of seeing a great game floundering like this...

			      If you click the Developer Tracker tab top left of page you will have to scroll back 3-10 pages for all the latest posts from class leads/devs/community/engineering/ the fricken CEO. There is a lot of communication there. Even Merkal and Tranagram( via Meerkat) have made appearances with lengthy posts. Hope this helps :)  A lot of the server crashes seems to be ddos attacks and they are fighting those. Not sure if that's the case if it's happening today. On SWTOR and WoW forums are many many posts with folks having fps and other performance issues so it is not just Wildstar.  One of these days will get the hang of chatting on forums but not today it seems.

I'd say your computer is fairly average, closer to the subpar end currently though... Also, are you sure it wasn't the maintenance disconnecting you?(lol) I've been disconnected once in the past month so I'm not sure what to tell you. But really, feel free to give the devs a hard time but keep in mind there are others that haven't experienced any of your issues. 
 
As far as performance on my end, I only have issues in Thayd currently on my above average computer with a subpar video card.
 
Also, I'd highly suggest investing in a SSD...
