Why no chat bubbles?

I swear I'm gonna bomb the offices of the next game developer that puts out another MMORPG without chat bubbles.

Maybe it's just me and my comicbook fetish of nerdum, but I think chat bubbles are not only immersive, but also make communication a whole lot eaiser as you can see when someone is talking to you and also see WHO is talking to you.

Why, God... why?

Any word on wether or not they plan to add chat bubbles?

    Uh ?  I'm 99% sure that there is an option in the video/interface settings to enable the chat bubbles. They are disabled by default.

    They aren't chat bubbles per say... it's more like the text appears above your charcater's head.

    So I guess it's a chat box without the box.
