Playstation 4 - Performance Issues - Global Frame Rate Drops

Time: Always, Global.
Frequency: 90~100%
World name: Gilgamesh
Character name: Emmalynn Tsukiko
NPC name: N/A
Monster name: N/A
Class/Level: Warrior/50
Party or solo: Either
In-game time: Any
Area and coordinates: Coerthas Central Highlands, Mor Dhona, and many other very busy locations

Steps:
1. Head to a large populated area, such as Coerthas; proceed away from the main camps i.e. - X:34, Y:21 (Natalan, near the large circle of Ixali)
2. Point your Camera West towards Dragonhead, and move around in circles/while looking toward the mountains in the west.
3. Observe erratic frame rate issues.
Note: This occurs in almost all zones now, and was an issue previously (look at my post history to see) and it seems to be getting worse each patch.

Result:
The console is rendering the area/players around camps when the camera is aimed in that direction, thus causing the frame drops; i.e. Occlusion Culling is not functioning properly.

Expected Result:
Console FPS should not drop when looking towards the camps from a distance, as the players should not be rendered.

the PC's max performance setting actually turns occlusion culling off, so it wouldn't surprise me if the ps4 doesn't have it at all.

The first time I saw the game lag on my PS4 was exactly at Svara, when I turned my camera south (thus aiming at Dragonhead camp). The game become choppy for the fight duration.

I don't know if it's just bad optimisation or what. Even Guildhests have the problem, in particular Shadow and Claw in Coerthas can be incredibly bad at times.

It definitely seems to be most notable in Coerthas, but I've also seen it in other busy areas too. I will conduct a full investigation soon if it isn't resolved :)

More so the issue being the servers i think (server load). Many returning players (and new players too) because of rogue/Ninja. Fates have never been so active either.
The lag i know for a fact as fc members on PC have reported issues as well
