Dunno who's talking to me or who's standing in front of me. Kinda annoying.

Your idea is?

If you are talking about the ??? that is intended. Your buddy list will have a different icon next to them when they are online

my idea is names under people so I can know who I'm talking to.

If they are trying to stay realistic (lol...) they won't do that. Had they wanted to they would of ages ago. In their eyes it's a realistic thing you don't instantly know who you are talking to :P

Does a name really matter when, for all you know, it could be someone's alt you'll never ever see again online?

someone whispered me, I dunno who he is "???" or which chara he is in the city.

I think it's great for RP but kinda confusing for game play.

You can memorize people and give them a name yourself so you can at least distinguish from other ??? in area chat. Also, if they whisper you and you are standing nearby, they will turn to face you. You'll face them if you whisper back. It's a good way to know who is talking to you and you can mem them then.
