Trust me playing on the PC hasn't been a picnic either. We had to completely evacuate our home grid, E4, and make a second home elsewhere. It was completely unplayable. Even when I checked and there was only me and one other person in the grid it was completely unresponsive for the most part. If you were very very patient you could fast travel long enough to feed your tames. Seems like something was screwed up on that grid server. Maybe a memory leak or runaway process. Maybe even a database optimization issue since it seemed to persist through reboots. We'll probably never know but I have the suspicion it had to do with the christmas items since the tree still isn't producing anything.
