I was honestly surprised when this didn't end up being a feature when RuneScape was ported to Mobile. Phones aren't that powerful compared to a PC so I expected that being able to hide other players in crowded places was going to be a necessary compromise for performance. Clearly that didn't end up being the case but I have to wonder how many people with older, weaker phones might be able to play on Mobile if such a feature were added.

MMOs are designed to be enjoyed by a massive crowd. It is what the massive number of players with the like mind that makes an MMO great.

Do you go to a concert, or a major sport event like World Cup Soccer or Super Bowl and want to hide all the other people around you?

Not a good analogy imo. At those events the crowds around you don't have large animation effects covering up the people on the field/stage.

Yes, actually; crippling social anxiety is "fun" like that.

But that was never my point. My point is that it might allow people to play the game with devices that aren't powerful enough to render dozens of other players, familiars, etc. at the same time.

It is weird not seeing in in RS. Majority of effects could be hidden no problem and it wouldn't hinder co-op pve in the slightest. PvP would be more iffy, but if the players really wanted to they should be able to. Leader of The Enemy ||

You have the choice to tune all graphics down, and that include the effect of animations too.

It is not like we don't have these graphics "issues" since RS2 when we had far far more bots players. We never needed to have an option to hide them, because thankfully animations and other players never affected our ease to attack an attackable NPC.
