Thanks for the replies, I appreciate it.

This is really really disappointing though. "Just gauging the distance" isn't really helpful.. because there's not really any way to do that.. I rely on the in-game tools to do that and the greying of nameplates is staple for doing so.

As for red text on manacost, I am aware of this but the problem is that when there are 24 people all running around going in and out of range constantly, I don't have time to click on each individual and check their range while health bars are flying up and down and people are dying very quickly.

Lastly, if no one relies on the greying of nameplates, why is it even in the game? Why does it even happen? What's the point of putting that in the game if it doesn't have any purpose other than to confuse people like me who've gotten used to that function from other MMOs? :/

Thanks
