Why does /who takes so much time to be able to be used again?

^ What's the reason behind this? O,o

This is part of server's performance optimisation. Same is reason is why /who is showing only 50 players. This is a limit set to improve server stability. Imagine if at least 500 players use /who at the same time to dump all 15000 online players - that's incredible load on the server.

But wouldn't it be possible to only show the 50 players per area but have the /who option available at all times for example?

To avoid spamming /who . You can easily write a macro to loop /who requests and if such will use, let's say, 50 players for some period of time, this will also make a huge load on the server.

Oh, okay, I see.
