Avatar glow on/off option

[Vagrua]

Avatar glow is a very annoying feature to me and I'm sure to others that don't have the best of computers. Just a few avatars can really lag me. A party/alliance of them makes many of my actions very slowly unless my camera view is away from them.

My suggestion is to make an Avatar glow on/off option in the menu similar to weather effects on/off. I haven't seen any other suggestions for it so thought it would be appropriate to make a thread here.

Avatar glow is just one lagging issue though, others are confluxes/maws. If the glow could just be taken out of the game entirely from these through some on/off option, then I would be a happy chariot, but an option just for avatar glow I would be overjoyed with if ever implemented.

Lastly, I would like to say that I only play through PC and haven't had the privilege of playing Playstation 2 or Xbox to know if these systems have these lagging problems that I do.

i play on xbox and unless the avatars r far enough away i dont even notice the glow~ but when u have 12 smns all smn garuda at the same time it makes a massive lag spike that if ur not facing away... will make the xbox crash @.@ happened while farming KIs for chloris in abyssea tahrongi

I miss when avatars actually used to REALLY glow instead of having that weird blue outline. that was before they patched it due to nvidia driver issues, back in 2005
