    I have a player in my static too who has long loading times when we go out of the raid and he standed in Eulmore.
    I have normal loading times in Eulmore, like near instant, I usually have to wait around half a minute before they appear.

    I'm on an SSD and have gigabit connection but if it's server side then that shouldn't cause me to have instant loading times?
    Usually high loading times in MMOs is a local hardware issue more than a bandwidth issue (with bandwidth needs being fairly light). Rendering out a ton of players all wearing different things with different stats and meta data is very taxing, and is specifically where hardware differences matters most. Engine limitations or constraints can exacerbate the issue with code-specific loading bottlenecks.

    Older console multiplayer games circumvented this by loading a single dummy model and backfilling it when it was ready (one of the pso games did this iirc), which leads to crowded areas filled with lifeless dolls for awhile but faster load times.
