I don't even know why anybody would vote NO...it's an MMO, not another single player game, the way I see it is either optional or yes for an MMO. I'm leaning more towards optional because I didn't know there would be people that hated MMO features.
Since when is this an MMO Feature?
No offence but please do some research
Traditional MMOs let you hover over a player to find out its name, that spam with the plates is entirely WOW related based on tidy plates.
I honestly doubt that any serious MMO RPG fan would like that spam on his screen. It totally breaks immersion or do people on the street wear shields with their name, address and state of family?

But I'm not against it IF and ONLY IF, I can disable it.
Personally, I hate to have my screen cluttered with useless stuff and knowing the name of the people around me is not useful, as I can mouseover them if I like.
In the case of the bubble chat, its a different matter. For roleplayers the chat bubbles are a great improvement as they will be able to see what they are saying to each other, and while it will clutter the image with texts, it will be in a "Comic" way, and not be as disturbing as nameplates would be from a immersion point of view.
Then again, it's very needed that we can disable them.
Personally, I'll only put the chat bubble on when and if I'm roleplaying.
The nameplates are useful for raiders, pvp'ers, and general socialization and a great improvement for them, too, for the reasons outlined in the OP. No one wants to force you to play with them, hence why it is said as optional. You may consider them to be screen clutter, but it is not feasible to mouseover everyone inside of a bank for example just to see if there's anyone you recognize, for example, nor is it practical during heavy pvp combat to try to hover all around to figure out where a specific person is who's called out for heals based off their name, for example.
Different people have different priorities for their time playing the game, so having them as optional components would let everyone win. If you think they hurt your UI and clutter your screen, leave them disabled if they're implemented. Those who like them can enable them.

I've not say that I'm against it, I've voted "Other", because I honestly do not think that it will make the game better. I'd be against it at the only condition it's not toggable, but no game ever implement something like this so I'm not worried.
If people enjoy to use nameplates, good for them. Even in more traditional MMO like WOW, I disable nameplates cause I find it messy, ugly and useless, for raiding, PVPing and socialize. But that's just me...
I read that a lot of people are afraid that once implemented it will become "mendatory" and that some players will enforce on other. Really? Do not be affraid, if you have a guild leader or event leader that enforce yourself to download whatever addon on or put nameplates just tell them to take care of their own buisness. No addons and no nameplates are needed to play correctly. There is no valid reasons to ever enforce this on anyone.
It'll become mandatory in PVP and a handicap if you don't have it enabled even if you'd prefer not have it. There's no "take care of their own business" when someone instantly snipes you when you emerge from around a corner because your nameplate showed up to them before you could see them.
It's about as "optional" as zip tying your feet together when trying to have a footrace. Yeah sure you can do it if you want to but you're going to lose the race and probably end up flat on your face in the dirt.

nameplate is horrible. even if they introduce namplates which is able to be turned off, most ppl who doesn't like namplate is forced to turn them on when pve, pvp because it gives you huge advantage. chat bubble? it's okay because it's not that much impact on pve , pvp whether or not turning on. but nameplates? no

Do your own research. EQ 1/2, rift, guild wars 1 and 2, daoc, aion, star wars old republic and a host of other mmos clearly never had them, it's only a wow thing. uhuh.
The whole immersion argument has no merit. You guys need to stop parroting it as if it's gospel. There are health bars, skill bars, cross hairs when not even wielding a weapon and there are already name plates when you're looking in someone's direction. There's also this key fact that you're ignoring. It would be OPTIONAL, just like it is in every other game that has them.
The whole immersion argument falls apart before it even gets started, try again.

Then leave them disabled in the settings, done deal buddy.

Please explain this HUGE advantage if for example it's implemented in such a way, that name plates are only visible for members of your own faction during PVP?
Or, they were no wider than the in current in game health bars?

When you have an Argonian, which a lore appropriate name might be Digs-Holes-To-Seek-Other-Side-Of-Nirn, you're not going to have it be the same width as current health bars.

They're still on the table as a possibility, and something we're looking at. They always have been. But we don't have any new info to share

I think there is already a max number of characters on names , not completely sure since it has been a long time since i made my chars (and im not deleting them :P , since 1: they are name savers 2: the 7 mules all have horses i lvl on carry space already ).

Well to give you an idea, my DK's name is "Soars-Like-Cliff-Racer" that's 22 characters. So the name character limit is probably pretty long, it could even be 64 characters.
