"I'mmmm back" declares the dreaded LOD monster.

It seems that a marked decrease in the Level of Detail (LOD) seems to have been introduced into SL as of 1.12.

My question is, is this a bug that will be corrected soon, or a continued effort by LL to decrease the LOD.

I really hope that LL will eventually restore the LOD to what it was several updates ago. However, If LL is intent on decreasing the LOD, is it possible to implement a LOD slider in the preferences so that those of us who can handle a higher LOD, or who do not mind sacrificing a bit of performance for better quality graphics, can do so.

Personally speaking, graphics mean the world to me. Without pretty eye candy i just lose interest and my level of enjoyment of SL is affected considerably. Can you please take it into consideration that many of us feel this way and would not mind sacrificing a bit of performance for higher quality graphics?

Thank you in advance for your consideration to this very important matter :)

Yes, this is a bug, yes we are aware of it. In fact there is even a work around in another thread in SL Answers that I responded to:
