Just started yesterday, and during the event quest Cat's Tale, I pretty much could not see anything due to the other player's skill effects being so bright. Is this normal? Or is there a way I can disable it? I didn't find anything relevant in settings. Thanks.

Unfortunately all of the commands for controlling the VFX are awkward to change, and many in number.

Fortunately, some lovely people have created a tool for managing a majority of the light spam:

And a general FYI: doing the patrol instead of the TFO not only saves you from the eye-cancer of others, but is faster to complete to boot.
