Even if not, they have to have sent you a message in say shout party or tell at some point in the past, or they aren't an aquaintance, in which case you have something to click on for the proposed feature, and on top of that, unless they're getting rid of it, there's the audience section in autotranslate.
When I stated, "minor acquaintance," I was referring more to people you meet in passing. Such as someone you grouped with the previous day that you think may be able to fit a spot in a new party. Perhaps someone who synthed or melded something for you a while back and you want to see if they're willing to do another. The click to tell feature is a good work around to message people you've come across on that gaming session but after the course of a day, a week, or longer you probably no longer have that option. Also, you interact with a lot of people in a MMO, but that doesn't mean that you go around tossing friend invitations like an Oprah Winfrey prize give-away either.
