    Wouldn't a chat bubble disappear before you get chance to read a long-winded speech anyway? That's the reason I would find it pointless.

    I think it will be useful for raid callouts.

    They are deliberately being disabled during battle though.

    Oh, that is unfortunate then. Pointless to me then.

    I don't know what they've set as the default time before the bubbles disappear but in general for anyone who can read reasonably quickly that should only be an issue for EXTREMELY long messages which aren't that common. They are however commonly longer than two lines.

    Is it that hard to make them last longer, proportional to the amount of text? Or just giving us the option to set the length at least? Why is this a problem?

    I think they said this will be disabled for combat.

    As for longer messages and timing, it would be as easy as: Mouseover the player to see their last message, use your wheel to scroll through their history of messages in the zone.
