Butterfly boom

If you stand at a butterfly shrine for a while, the butterflies get thicker and thicker. Causes lag. Seems unintended. Happens in Arcstone at the Shrine of Druzzil Ro, and also in The Buried Sea on Suncrest Isle inside the volcano at the altar, and probably any other place with the fluttering butterflies graphic.

It looks like this in my environment.
Translucent butterflies are flying around, but there is no problem with performance.

Not sure it is a bug. This has been going on in Arcstone for at least a few years, I remember it from way back. The ones I see are clustered around the camp where the banker and quest npc's are. Sometimes they are not there. But they were out yesterday.

I still hunt there about 10 x a month so maybe I am used to seeing it. Not sure what sets them off but considering I see more butterflys than other players in that zone for the month then I can see why folks think they are new

The bug is that the number of butterflies steadily increases the longer you observe. There's some object duplication bug going on.
