This wasn't a problem on Tonberry Pre-Wow-Flood outside of very specific situations like events or the hunt, but now even markets or aetheryte areas take forever to load. The delay is quite noticeable.

Not that WoW or any other reason is to blame; there's just a lot of people stuffed into each server..probably more than was ever intended. SE has mentioned their plan to upgrade server infrastructure due to this and has said the current situation has sped up their plans...so no real need to worry as it's being worked on.

....all that said, yeah.. the culling system they added way back when should be much more intelligent.
