This is a copy paste from my reddit post: Original here Dear everyone,Recently I have decided to get back into playing Guild Wars 2 after playing some World of Warcraft. While the gameplay and a lot of quality of life in Guild Wars 2 is so much better than it is in WoW, there is one thing that I have always disliked and is now preventing my partner from playing and enjoying the game with me: the skill effects. I think the images linked here will be a good description in and of themselves but the problem is that even with player count set to lowest, effect LOD on and post processing low, events where more than 5 or so people are involved become an absolute mess of flashy effects. Link to screenshots This overload of visual effects is making it very hard to see what is going on, and causes unnecessary eye-strain. As I said earlier, my partner has had to quit after doing Palawadan with me due to actual nausea.PLease take a look at the linked pictures and tell me what you think. Keep in mind:This is on LOWEST visible character limit.This is with LOWEST character qualityThis is with effect Limitation of Detail ONThis is with postprocessing on LOW. Happy gaming,Wale

An option to disable skill effects or at least make them less flashy is my absolute top wish right now. Group events are terrible and hurt my eyes even on low settings.

The way of unlocking skins with RNG boxes is terrible.The actual skins are even worse! If in group content (let's say bounties) two or three people have the spectral-like griffon skin, their wing effects just clutter the screen. It's very annoying and completely takes me out of the flow of the game. Guild Wars 1 had only a few skins that were flashy and that was perfect. It allowed for at least some sort of realism in a world where there's dwarfs and talking plants. The way Guild Wars 2 is going (seems to me it is the 'everything must be flashy-oh and you can buy it for real money' is one I do not like and I find myself distancing myself from the game EVEN THOUGH I like the gameplay.
