Furthermore, ArenaNet has officially eliminated culling, the technique they used to get so many characters onscreen in PvP battles without bringing everyone&#8217;s framerate down.  They basically cheated by just not drawing some of the characters.  Which works, but then you can&#8217;t see who you&#8217;re attacking or &#8212; worse &#8212; who&#8217;s attacking you.  It&#8217;s like a random invisibility spell for characters who aren&#8217;t even thieves!<\/p>\n<p>Today, culling is gone.  It&#8217;s been replaced with, well&#8230;I don&#8217;t know what it&#8217;s been replace with.  Aggressive LOD technology?  Higher system requirements?  Faerie magicks?
