Just a point of clarification. The iPhone runs the iOS operating system which was a modified version of the OS X operating system that launched around 2000. OS X itself was based on the NextStep operating system from the early 90s that Steve Jobs created after being kicked out of Apple. None of this code was written in China, and has been refined, improved, optimized, expanded and polished for over 20 years.
Back to the OP, my fear is the problem is hard coded into the client and can't be hotfixed. CCP really should do a better job communicating on this though beyond "we're working on a fix." They get very loud when there is good news, but they suck at communicating when it involves bad news.
Best PvE idea ever!

I don't own an I anything because I think Apple sucks, however, that is besides the point. They are manufactured in China, not designed there. Nonetheless, my point is that being created or designed in China does not make something inherently bad, and it's incredibly offensive to me that you think that's the case. The problem is money, since this is a F2P game. Underfunded software development anywhere in the world is going to produce a poorly-coded product. If anything, being made in China is helping the game by allowing CCP to hire more developers on their very limited Dust budget.
While its true that something made in China isn't inherently bad, China doesn't have consoles like the rest of the world does. It doesn't have a history of developing console games like other countries do. The liklihood that the team in Shanghai is staffed with coders with many years of previous console programming experience is very unlikely if most of the team is Chineese. Given the same timeframe, and number of coders, a lot more could have been achieved by a more experienced team over the past 12 months in all likelihood.
