    Please make it easier for healers to tell who is in range

    In both CT and Frontlines I have a very hard time telling who is in range on my party/raid list. It can be very frustrating when I'm trying to prioritize who to heal quickly and I find myself wasting time clicking on people that are too far out of range for heals.

    Please add an optional UI feature that "fades out" people on the name plaques if they are greater than 30 yalms away.

    Is it annoying yes. Face target is a bandaid you can use while we wait for the fade out name plaques.

    That's not the issue, it's in, say Frontlines, and your alliance split apart to go around the map. You don't know who's actually with you, and suddenly, on your party/alliance list, a HP bar goes down sharply. Any healer's instinct is to select it, but if that person happens to be on the other side of the map, there's no notification of it, so you're furiously clicking/mashing the name but nothing's happening until you realise he's dead on the other side of the world.

    And you can't medica II/medica alliance members unless they're in your party. And we know how effective Cure III is when you're spread out i.e. it's not. And if you're clumped together, you're just asking to get AoE-ed/Flared down.

    If someone is far enough away, you can't even target them to check the range indicator on the actionbar to begin with.

    They just need to add an option to fade out units in the party list/alliance list who are greater than 30 yalms away.

    Doesn't work with macro icons. And half of the frustration is looking at 24 name plates and not knowing who is in range until you click on each individual one.

    In addition to this, I find it frustrating that your character will turn to face whoever you click on to heal. If they happen to be behind you, your character will completely turn around, making it difficult to reorient yourself when trying to avoid an AoE using the "strafe" keys (Q, and E).
