As I've written in the starting post, one way to fix this issue is to ensure that player models are not rendered at a distance that is further away than the distance at which trees are rendered. That would ensure that players with low performance computers can still play the game.

Your signature says you're an RP player. Now, while I think that roleplaying is an interesting part of LIF, I have never - never ever - met a roleplayer in LIF that was, in regard to pvp, fit to hold a candle to someone that I consider a serious pvp player. Several pvp players that I know have posted in this thread and expressed their overwhelming concern. You're the only one here who thinks that it's not game-breaking.
This exploit is nothing else but a wall hack. I've never heard of a competitive online game were a wall hack wasn't considered to be a major problem.
A group tries to bait an opposing group to attack them so that a group of cavalry men can ambush them. It doesn't work, because the opposing group can see the cavalry hiding in the forest.
Five players try to sneak through a forest with their trader carts. They have absolutely no chance, because one single guy with this exploit can watch over dozens of square kilometers of forest and inform his raiding party.
Two groups battle each other and eventually one group tries to reatreat into the forest. There is zero chance of survival for any of them in that deep dark forest, because their pursuers are not hindered by the trees.
Two groups assemble to battle each other, but the battle is already won for one side, because their commander can see from where how many enemy troops come and how they are equipped.
A single scout is all it takes to get the exact number of enemy players that are currently in a settlement, no matter if they are behind walls or within buildings. Based on that information, the enemy group decides whether to attack or not, and if they attack, then they know where the enemy lookout is positioned and in which direction he's looking.
I apologize if you feel offended, but it's a long time since I've read such A-quality nonsense - which of course lacks any objective argument - and that you try to pass as a serious opinion.
