    It's a quick glance down and to the left.

    What would you do if its the healer behind you talking. Can't see chat bubbles.

    The chat box is on the far bottom edge of the screen. In general I already have a hotbar full of CD's, a party window, a minimap and an actual fight to watch; the chat box is low low low priority.

    Depending on how they work you can often choose a position to place offscreen chat bubbles, and since they're temporary and click through they'll never get in the way like a chat box does.

    I do have a pretty big tv and monitor I play on, but even that's beside the point. The chat box is just inconvenient and unimportant. I honestly only really look at it at the beginning of a run and if something is off; like I see a party member lagging behind on the minimap.

    I have a big tv too. You can resize the box to your liking too. My point being chat bubbles aren't needed when we have the tools to make the chat box everything you need and want it to be. The issue I noticed is people don't actually look at what you can do and instantly say we need X instead.
