Like I said, even if they just give us an option to filter out the amount of players displayed.

Filtering the displayed ones on the client side would help framerates and such, but if the server can't keep up, that won't help. It needs to be a server side fix.

I agree with you entirely, it needs to be a priority. But it's been a problem since 2.0. Ixion still does it today on my server, although it's less severe than the Eureka train because there's fewer people there. It's not something that can be a quick fix given the code in question affects the entire game and any bug would be literally game breaking for affected clients.

I hope they make it a priority for 5.0, but I'd honestly be very surprised if anything happened before that except perhaps lowering the population cap.

I have a beefy computer, no lag issues even in a capped eureka instance. That being said, the priority in which the game loads mobs/people is ridiculous. I will sometimes run around in circles trying to just be able to target my party member who needs healed/rezzed, and I can't find them because the game decided that random person No. 23789273129 took priority over my dead party member.

I am getting fustrated by this too. I am also wondering if when under stress the game stops reading your settings because I have turned off battle effects except for me own yet they're still getting displayed and making FATEs impossible. The boss/NM hardly ever loads and thus doesnt show any AoE imprints on the ground in time to move away.

I fear you may be right. Even just an answer from a com rep or developer on the matter would be nice. I mean I'm still doing Eureka, it's just highly infuriating at times when I'm the only one up in a wiped party and can't target any of them, as outsiders are priority being loaded.
