    Graphical Configuration Option: De-Spawn / Do Not Spawn

    I have a simple request for a feature which may or may not be simple to implement, but which the implementation of whence would really improve my experience outside Duties.

    I would like to ask for a System Configuration setting, under Graphics, which would just be a box I could click to toggle it, to De-Spawn / Do Not Spawn players who are AFK (first box), or Dead (second box), outside of Duties, only and exclusively.

    Ideally, this would serve to both remove red chair and dead individuals from my screen right away, and prevent their avatars spawning when I arrive in the area they happen to be in. I just really want the option to only see characters on my screen who are alive, and active.

    As I am not a programmer, I admit I don't know how easy or hard such an option would be to program and implement, but it would definitely be a QOL upgrade for me, personally.

    It would probably be very easy. It would literally just be an if statement checking AFK status when deciding whether to render them.

    AFK sounds reasonable, but dead might be a questionable one because you may need to see dead people when fighting things in the open world so that you can resurrect them.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."

    Ya was going to say take dead people off. Will making getting a res in open world more difficult, as no doubt a lot of people would use such a option.
