Ability to turn off Linkshell icons and our own names

[gifthorse]

I was never much enamoured with the display of character's names and linkshell icons even at release, but ever since the names were engorged to their current size, along with the linkshell icons, I can't help but want to be able to turn them off.

I realise there is a /names command already in the game, but perhaps SE should look at implementing a way to keep everyone elses' names on your screen, but give us a way to turn our own name off. (After all, it's not like I need reminding of who I am).

Similarly, a way to turn off linkshell icons would also be welcome.

too many options and / commends will get to confusing.

Also an option to turn off just the last names

LOL trust you to say something utterly unconstructive.

no it is constructive, cuz it true. If you have a toggle just just about every UI feature any new player will get lost in the commands. And too many options do add up over time. Plus if they keep tweaking and adding all these toggles nothing new

like content

can be added because the size of the updates would be too big.

I agree with ya Gifthorse I really hate how my name stays above my head. It really pointless and just takes up space on my screen. There is no reason for me to be reminded of my own name. Se should make it a toggle names subcommand or just remove it all together.

Does not even have to be in the settings. Just a simple /hide name /hide last name /hide my name

Only reason why i would want my name up is when I took screens. To prove it's really me :P

Haha, really funny. You got me. You can stop pretending you are actually this stupid now.

If it bothers you that much turn it all off. Adding in these options are nearly pointless. So you only want to see half of a character's name? What good would that do?

In battle, I know who is who without having my screen cluttered by unnecessary information.

In town, I don't accidentally run past someone I know because i have /names off and didn't recognise them.

I play with /names off as much as possible because I hate the clutter it adds to my screen but I would really like to be able to tell who is who and what mobs are around me without having it clutter up my screen. Hence this whole thread.
