Yeah thats the sort of problem I hadn't thought of. Most players
wouldn't tolerated that sort of behavior and would probably precieve
it as chronic lag, thereby lowering preceptions about they game. I
don't see a solution to that off the top of my head. But who know
something might come up in my Sleep.

Even if this wasn't integrated into the client I would imagine tools
would appear to do it, Honestly I don't really have a problem with
it, because it doesn't provided the player with information that
they wouldn't realistically have. What such a tool would provide, is
more along the lines of an elephant's memory. However in terms of
abuse, this is better than the current way of doing
things. Currently abusive players can know what IS there without
seeing it, as apposed to what WAS there last time they saw it.

I do like the fading idea, that could add an interesting game
mechanic elsewhere. In realistic terms out mind plays tricks on us,
we see things that aren't there, or are unsure of what we saw. So by
using faded things we could suggest to players an uncertainty about
what they are being shown. Is there a mugger in that alley or did my
character imagine it? Did a Big Nasty Monster tm sneak around the
parties rear or is that the confusion of battle? Of course this is a
whole other thread...
