Whats the point of more than 36 Fps?

i believe movies are made at 24fps, and cartoons at about 12-18fps, to give you an idea of what your eyes seen

higher fps will just make all the movements smoother, and softer to the eye. And as was said, fps varies alot depending on what you do. Anyone can get 60fps when staring at a textured wall in full screen, but the fps dips when flying, using spells etc

ask 5 DK to do their aoe spells in dalaran and see how much fps you get there as a benchmark.
I never found out mine, i usually need to relog when it happens

i think its 42 fps. movies go at 42 fps. if you stick a frame in it with a message once every 42 frames that has nothing to do with the movie, you can get people to buy drinks and popcorn and they'll never know what caused it.
