Please, I have been in Mor Dhona, where there's dozens and dozens of people at any time and yet people barely speak in /say, which is the only time when 'thousands' of chat bubbles could appear in my screen. /say and /party should have chat bubbles. And also add a toggle in the options so people can choose to not have them.
Unless Squee is using very stupid programming (wouldn't be surprised) or is target of an ancient vodoo curse that will make their eyeballs melt, I don't see why they couldn't implement it. Every MMO I have played had chat bubbles and they were never a reason for 'unnecessary strain in the long or short run'.
