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.


We absolutely have more animated crowds in concerts and sports events. Don't the organizers of such massive events often tell us to do the WAVE, or give us fluorescent objects we use to cheer the performers?

you are comparing a concert to a MMO on the inter net dont jagex fix things in the game every week or so adding a hide all option would be very simple compared concert promoter fixing a issues at a concert

I've been lucky in recent days and not seen these AOE very often. But once they return it's an instant reminder of how bad and out of place it is. IDK how they ever got in the game, and how the event spawns made it past testing.

that should never be the case in a event where all should have the right to enjoy it not the player fault a limited amount of monster spawn but you cant see because so many people are in one location spamming aoe


Yet ppl have the right to use these as thats why they were put into the game.

Dont like it use a different world. They exist for this exact reason.
