Guild Wars 2 is stupid about this. At least on release, they stopped displaying ENEMIES FIRST. So if you're in a big enough group, a couple enemies can walk up and none of you can see them b/c you hit the limit from displaying allies, but they can still see some of you guys and kill you while invisible.

If they prioritized displaying just party members (parties only go up to 5 people) and maybe people on your friends list, and then enemies, it would have worked better.

They supposedly just fixed this in the patch yesterday. As a player who gets owned by unrendered thieves, I'm not convinced. -_- (OTOH, I'm also pretty bad at PvP anyways, so whatever.)
