Suggestion: Dance performance area

[Jojoya]

I'm going to be super salty about this, because while this usually isn't a huge issue, it's getting to be a strain on personal bandwidth and framerates. Rip me apart for it, if you will, I don't care. I don't like having to fish through a sea of dancing sprites just to get to the market board.

There's always people that don't want to move out of the main walkway of Limsa. All they do is idle and dance. This is on all data shards in nearly every server. Give them a designated place to perform.

If you're struggling with Limsa load times, try Kugane when you need to use a marketboard. The run across the bridge takes about the same amount of time as using the Aethernet to get to the market area for me so it should be faster for someone having issues with load times.

Another option would be to teleport to your apartment (if you have one). You'll end up right next to a marketboard since there's one outside every apartment building.

The crowd at Limsa will never go away. It's pretty much ingrained into the player base as the place to go to see and be seen.

Or, a novel idea, the people who do performance/idle dancing could take it up to Gridania instead of inconveniencing the people who are trying to play the game. Not everyone has a high end PC/connection and cares to be greeted by someone using a third party program to watch some dance-off in the middle of the dang walkway.

It's a MMO. Players inevitably find a place to congregate. It will be a problem regardless of which city state is picked.

You can always avoid going to Limsa unless you're working on a quest located there. It's not like it's the only location with marketboards.

Turn off other player nameplates, battle effects and Performance sounds to help with your system performance if you feel you need to be in Limsa.
