More wildlife, please!

They could set it up as a client side thing. Especially if it was untargettable.
You'd be able to set up how much of the wildlife was visible, much like the terrain quality settings. Wouldn't affect the servers as its all client side, wont be hackable either, since its literally just a graphics thing.

They already have some of this. Ships in the background of the Mist, for example.
Heck, even minion positions are, to an extent, client side only. Unless the player is moving or the minion is mounted to the player, it's position is random per client it seems. At least until you give it a /handover.

agreed, extra wildlife for pure scenery enhancement would be very nice to see.

I have a funny feeling it will not happen, but I do support the idea

Why can't we have this!

Yes this would be awesome!

I'd like more NPCs to pat around, too. Off the top of my head, the only ones I can think of are the elezen lady at the alley in Limsa going from stall to stall, and the miqote lady in Revenants toll looking for her carbuncle. Too many NPCs just stand there looking around; more should be moving through the cities and on paths that are farther apart than two merchant stalls.

There are moments in Thanalan and Limsa Lominsa where you see birds soaring overhead. So there's potential for them to add something more.

Easy, just make it a toggle-able setting. LotRO had ambient birds that would fly around in the distance as a setting, if your rig could handle it, great, game looked even better. If your rig slowed to a crawl, oh well, turn it off and back to playing. If they can't find a way for ps3 to run it, just make it so it doesn't show on that client.

Aldgoats used to notice players that were close to them and follow the players, it always made me laugh when I was harvesting and had five goats clustered around me. I would like to see more idle animations from mobs, instead of them forever waiting to be attacked. It wouldn't hurt to have critters running about for atmosphere.

Dodos did this too! I loved it!
