Sometimes it is confusing and not clearly visible if player in the group is still loading some updates or just left the party.

I suggest to display in party window the same increase as on loading screen like (35%). Preferably in different color. Then other players would knew if it is advisable to wait for party member or just go. It is especially important during big game updates.

And man, PLEASE try to gather all your small sugestions in one thread, it would help keeping the house clean (just a sugestion).

And about THIS one in particular, i will repeat myself, DO NOT FIX WHAT AINT BROKEN. Unecessairy INFO in the interface will make it choppy, and Anet has done a wonderfull job so far keeping it clean and tidy, so i realy hope they dont start adding useless stuff like this one.

And having a different color for the loading player makes the interface choppy how?

The color for a player loading into the same instance should be of one color, and if the player quits the game during loading/before others manage to load/just quit be of another color. (It doens't have to be a loading bar, just a different color from the players who quit on the background of the player's name)

Man, PLEASE try to read the topic titled "READ FIRST - Suggestion Forum Guidelines". I found there something like this:

I used to be able to tell when someone was loading, and when someone had quit, with all the UI changes I can't.

Thank you, MarcinJ13.

And I agree with your idea. How many times has my team entered FoW and waited several minutes hoping that one guy would load? Disconnects while loading happen all the time and it's a bit of a pain not being able to tell if they disconnected while loading or if they're just slow. I have seen someone take like 8 minutes to load once. We had already written him off and then he suddenly appeared!
