Early Feedback on the "Nameplate System"

I feel slighted. I expected that you would be able to customize your own nameplate, picking what others can see about you. Your CP, the guild whose tabard you're wearing, your @name, your alliance rank and your title; all of these added neatly to a nameplate similar to what we've had before in the game.

Instead the nameplate system lets you see customize what you see about others. It's bad enough that people have to "opt in" to see which guild you belong to; but "opting in" introduces a whole plethora of intrusive blue text to the game (quite WoW-esque, if you ask me) making it quite unlikely that even half of the gaming population ever would. Is it too late to ask for a swift re-think on how this system works?

My suggestion would be that the player decides what others can see about them on their "old nameplates" (ie, the thing you see when you hover your mouse over them); with most things (excluding character name and level) as toggles.

    I like the new nameplates.

    Some feedback.

    - Make guild name toggable please. having to wear a tabard to display guild name is stupid for costumes / look etc
    - Give option to display rank and title
    - New Healthbars are horrible - too big and clunky - a nightmare in pvp, there was nothing wrong with the old ones
    At least the spelling is difficult for you.

    Have considered nameplates a staple of MMOs and have seen my ability to customize what others see about it as limited to titles. I have appreciated I can choose aspects of what I see displayed on other characters as I usually remove it from friendlies and have it displayed on enemies for faster selection of the correct target.

    I am really surprised it took Zos 3 years to add this.
