I love the crowd chatter, though... it really adds to the world.
I -especially- like it when people gather outside cities and the chatter starts, haha.

Like for example Revenant's Toll is crowded enough as it is; I usually just pop in and pop out as quick as possible... there's plenty of other places that are quiet (and less actually crowded... thanks, crappy laptop, for the lag) where I can do whatever I need to do.
