Well, let's sum this up: having nameplates available harms no one. Full stop.
No one's immersion is impacted by someone else having nameplates enabled, the functionality is obviously in the code since they existed and were disabled, and if it makes people feel more connected to their fellow players to be able to easily know who they are standing around then where's the rationale for arguing against the functionality being made optional?

Let's sum this up: Having nameplates enabled gives you an advantage in PVP over someone who does not have them enabled, then it suddenly isn't an option, both of you have to have it enabled to be on the same level playing field .
THERE's your full stop.
If name plates are an option, or an addon, and people are using it in PVP, then I, even though I hate them, will have to enable them or use that addon, even though I don't want to, or I am trying to run a foot race against you and shooting myself in the foot when the race starts.

Wrong, a sharp-eyed player WILL see you either way and just like any other game, while your in "stealth" such as wow, there is no nameplate so therefore, your point is invalid.

Nameplates will stick out of corners, show up behind objects, make it easier to single you out in the middle of a zerg. It is an advantage.

But for real, how are nameplates on FRIENDLY players an advantage over your enemies? It's not all about you, even though you are a special little snowflake. We all hate some things, even though the thing you hate is literally harmless, and have to deal with them in our lives.
So lets make it simple here.
Just add the option to show Nameplates on/off.
Both parties happy.
My honest opinion on the matter, is they should just leave it the way it is.
This game seriously lacks social features. Guilds are scattered around factions, name plates are lacking, chat bubbles non existing, the 5-guild-thing is a big mess, .... these little things and some others I can't remember right now are bringing the game down imo.
You mean like the nameplates we have irl?
No nameplates to ez to use them to target individual targets ont he battlefield, In real battle everyone looks the same.
