Today I was trying to clean my desktop to make some space and I found a text file sitting there from a long time (along with tenths of others) with some quotes that I must have saved from some forum:

But healing really needs a revamp in terms of keeping track of the group. One of the most boring things ever is staring at health bars 90% of the time instead of actually seeing the world.

Would be cool to have a system in place that would allow you to keep track of everyone without having to stare at health bars. It would have to be some extremely innovative shit, tho.

This is a screenshot showing what our guild's main priest sees in WoW (I hope she doesn't kill me if she finds out I'm using it, noone knows of this site, anyway):

Not so different from a browser-based game. Are we sure we are actually using the potential of three dimensional worlds?

It's definitely not a superficial problem and one that seriously needs an answer. I also believe, as the comments I quoted, that we should move away from UI-intensive gameplay and focus more on the immersion, realism and even a simplification of the combat mechanics.

Something to think and write about in the future. Consider this a memo.
