    Players trolling "The Time of My Life" by standing on top of NPCs.

    PLEASE add some kind of invisible barrier around the NPCs of this GATE. As it stands it's VERY easy for someone to ruin this for people by standing directly on top of the npcs, blocking your view of them. It was already annoying when people were just crowding them alone, but today there was someone intentionally standing directly on top of the female miqote npc completely blocking her from view. I had to use another NPC but wasn't as familiar with the emotes of the other races, as I'm sure is true for many unless you fantasia a lot.

    This is actually my favorite of the GATEs, so it really sucked having someone screw it up like this.

    I'm sure you can set your cycle target feature to check only for NPCs. Or at least clicking on their names.

    No that isn't it, you can't see the NPC when someone is on top of it. :[ The person's model blocks out the NPC model. Unless there is some feature where clicking/tageting the NPC makes them "always on top/visible" that I'm not aware of.

    I do think SE should give the NPCs some sort of pillar to stand on that players can't get on top of. That would help visibility.

    I support this suggestion. There was a massive argument in one of my linkshells, sparked by someone doing this.

    You can view the NPC by clicking on it, which will take you into a special viewer. However, I don't like this viewer because I can' see every part of NPC as it only shows you parts of body, like when you jump from upper body to lower it skips part between upper and lower.

    This thread is referring to the dancing GATE on the Main Event Floor. Not the Imp in disguise GATE.

    There are NPCs above that you can view if people are obscuring the grounded NPCs.

    This. It took me several posts to realise what was being talked about, and then my response was, "Wait, there are NPCs on the ground floor during that?"
