Monster Load Priority

I don't expect this to be fixed anytime soon. This is really a shame as I was looking forward to getting to level 50. I'll probably stop playing all together if something isn't done in the next month.

SE you need to fix this. FATEs are such a huge part of this game (YOU ALMOST FORCE THEM ON US!) and they aren't playable once you get to around level 35.

how about:

NPC - Party - Mobs - non party players - Companions - SPELL EFFECTS - Minions

the option to disable or limit visible spell effects (none/self/group/all) is fairly standard, and I strongly suspect this plays a factor.
edit: actually found the section, hidden under character config->character. Counter-intuitive place to put a graphics setting, but it is there

Tired of dying to fate bosses (Gorgimera comes to mind) because I can't even see the red due to the ball of bluish-white caused by spell effects.

And seriously, auto-group function on fate 'discovery'

Not only do I have effects for all characters turned off already, but I also have all names and health bars disabled for everyone who isn't a party member or NPC unless I target them. It still doesn't help. I'm not even near Coerthas in my game yet, and I'm having this issue with popular Fates. Cancer in the the "It's Not Lupus" fate is not playable. I can see plenty of other people fighting and/or standing around getting killed, but no monster. This needs immediate action.
