Alternative 4 regarding crowdfreeze

[_______________Bjorn]

Why not just put in a new visual option "customize players"?

It would mean that turned off all other players would be displayed with standard graphics for their profession/breed combination. Turned on it would be like today.

A variant would be that all players begin this uncustomized way and the wait time in the client would be used to slowly load in the extra graphics without disturping FPS or network performance.

Because randomly throwing out people seems like a really bad idea. People would definitly try to take advantage of that too.

What does this have to do with PVP?

Ya maybe not a clear choice. Funcoms reasons for putting in the throwout feature seems entirly based on expected PvP battles, and all exploiting of the feature is also pvp related so even if it is a suggestion (and not a whining... hmmm maybe wrong forum anyway :P ..) most that would have any intereset in actually discussing this camp the PvP conflict-forum. Can always make a suggestion after tossing around the idea.
