Not to mention the shadows? None of that would affect a chat bubble. And, once ducking again, they are in game already.

And I want people to point me out in which MMO that has chat bubbles is known for their screens to be cluttered with chat boxes, or where chat boxes are a problem during raids. Or show me MMOs that had chat bubbles and had to take them out. I'll tell you which ones did that: none. You are thinking that not having chat bubbles is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
