The game already has issues on low to mid end pc's. There needs to be a lot more optimization done before further distance could even be considered for everyone not running super computers, which would terrible for a new game that isn't specifically marketed for supercomputer users.

In my opinion, it should be up to us how badly we want to tax our systems, as long as they give some "this might crash your system, use at own risk" warning when going to an "Advanced options" kind of page.
