Yes i'm taking it to the extreme of a heavily populated world. but that's where the stress testing of it needs to be looked at.

edit: ...what's wrong with in terms of RP as you brought it up....looking at the already resizeable text box provided?
I feel like I'm on crazy pills, goddamn.

"Imagine if you saw these huge text boxes everywhere, wouldn't that be awful?!"

They give you MULTIPLE OPTIONS to select the MAXIMUM SIZE AND TEXT of the bubbles. If I was in the scenario you described, I'd lower that maximum! What are you talking about?? No one is asking for a complete redo of the feature, just an upper limit. If they programmed this feature properly, this is likely a single variable that needs to be increased. "It's has to be stress tested" NO IT DOESN'T JUST LOWER IT IF ITS ANNOYING, ITS AN OPTION
