Guild Wars 2

I’ve seen it come up in many WvW topics and I looked for the definition but couldn’t find one. Anyone able to give me a clear definition of what Culling is when used in reference to Guild Wars 2?

This post probably explains it best:

tl;dr – To limit use of bandwidth, character models are “culled” when there are an excess number of them within viewing distance. The server is currently unable to efficiently report player positions to the client. In WvW this means that you’re often fighting invisible enemies. You can experience this in PvE areas as well, during large events or simply while running around Lion’s Arch.
