Any way to reduce the number of players displayed on the screen?

For the most part walking in the more populated areas (like ul'dah aetherite) is usually difficult due to all of the lag induced by the displaying of all the players on the screen? Would it be possible to give priority viewing of npcs and reduce the overall number of players displayed on screen at once to reduce lag? I know when I was fighting odin a while ago, I could barely see anything with the all the lag due to so many players in the same area attacking odin at once

I couldnt see Behemoth because the game was loading other players that i don't wanna see ...
hope they fix this :(

That's a problem a lot of the large scale events have. The game doesn't prioritize enemies over players. Seems like an oversight. Hope they fix it in the future.

Only way I know of is to play on PS3. :/

Ps3 is pretty loaded as well I would like if other players didn't show up unless in party or town

But then again getting a party going is tough as nails in eu/am servers all COD type players lone wolfing it kinda sucks

My biggest issue is all the flashy animations. even if i CAN see all of the models, i cant tell whats going on with the mobs because they are covered in blobs of color and sparkles. not to mention with all the blms spamming freeze and stuff coating the ground, i cant even see the AE markers to know when to move.
