Lag on PS3

I have basically third world internet and a much slower Hard Drive than the default PS3 Hard Drive. I don't have any of these problems.

The only game breaking thing I've noticed with the Playstation 3 version is the Notorious Monster FATEs are almost unplayable when more than 20 or so people are involved. The monster and players all start disappearing. It's a mess.

Behemoth is especially bad. I saw him maybe twice, for 10 seconds a piece the entire fight. And I was in the Zone when he spawned. Ridiculous.

Sounds like Svara in Coerthas. Or any gathering fates where you're just waiting for the turn-in npc to pop before the timer runs out. Framerate goes to hell too when there's too much going on. Especially in 8 man instances. It's like the PS3 will only load players or npcs very close to you. When there's too much information, it removes it from the field until you're close enough again. This is basic game programming, sure. But the occurrences mentioned involve extremely close proximity to the player to show up.
