It's beyond frustrating. This is one of the few games where players have been able to delve in and figure out the exact causes of optimization issues and on top of that handed it directly to the devs to look at, yet years later ZERO has been done to address it. It's sad that professionals do this, but the same thing happened with SWTOR. The original BioWare team made a mess slapping together code for the Hero Engine because of EA's push to release for Christmas, and it's so bad that despite the devs who stayed on or replaced them trying to fix it they just couldn't with the time they were allotted to focus on it. In Vindi's case it's just laziness, though.

8. Are you considering moving the game's development to a brand new engine or at least updating the current Source Engine?
We have already introduced quite a lot of changes compared to the original Source Engine for Vindictus, so it will be difficult for us to migrate from the current version to an entirely different engine or an upgraded Source Engine. However, whenever new options are added to the Source Engine, we always try our best to implement them within the game.
Well, since the "Ein LAGFEST" update I haven't been able to host anyone but myself and even then, I have to remove all hud features. Before Ein lagfest I could host myself and 2 others with settings on normal. Now settings are on bare ass lowest and hud removed just to try any battle solo. Now I mostly stand around TUA waiting for a host, any battle any boat. Must be happening to everyone cuz, we all just stand around these days. Oh and thanks NexOwned for the new elite content. Just what the game needs.
