if i understand it correctly the range nameplates are drawn is a server-side thing. is there any chance we see an increase of that range soon? at least to something around spell cast range (like 40 meters/yards/whatever the unit is)?
I totally agree with this suggestion. As a veteran tank it makes it slightly more tedious to judge range of mobs to initiate a pull or something like that. as an example for a warrior that likes to charge in to break pull distance fast or to get to ranged mobs quickly for the interrupt. Calculating how many mobs are in the area more accurately as well as nameplates at range are very easy to miss.
