Unnecessary therefore essential option

[Roda]

Personally speech bubbles annoy me, and you can't tell when people are talking to you in a crow anyway, since it'll be flooded with bubbles.

In towns you wouldn't be able to see a thing since the screen would just be riddled with them.

And you are really overestimating how talkative people are in channels that go in chat bubbles
BEHOLD! THE UNPLAYABLE SCREEN CLUTTER OF GAMES WITH CHAT BUBBLES!!

Oh, there is none.

Most games have culling so the more people there are, the closer the bubbles have to be to render, further features give priority to people in your party/on your friends list/in your guild, and some even highlight your name if someone calls for you.

Also, if you just don't like them, the option is usually there for you to disable them

I hope we never get speech bubbles. That would be awful and cheap looking.

I personally find the audio visualizer in the game cheap looking. But I don't ask for its removal. Instead I just don't turn it on and let the feature help those who find it useful. /shrug


Also, they're already in the game, just npc exclusive.
