Sigh..
If a mounted player is on top of something (mailbox, npc), just zoom to first person, and you will see right through them.

Or you can bind your "interact with" keybinding to something useful and then just /target <npc name> and hit the keybinding.

Furthermore you can display the name plates of the npc's by shitting shift+v? cntrl+v? One of those, and select the target by clicking his name plate.

Not when there's literally a hundred people in a small area. Three are too many name plates on the screen that they start moving around like crazy. GL clicking on it.
Key Binding "interact with target" and using /target name works the best.

Your server must be pretty small, or the griefer population. Right now, on Mal'ganis at the flight trainer there are literally 200 people standing in the same spot, 1/3rd of them on mammoth mounts. Going first person will NOT help, and neither do name plates.

Actually yes it does. It can be configured to show just NPC nameplates and not player ones.

This is partly Blizzard's fault.
They made the interactive distance too short, this makes everyone pile on mailboxes and NPC's to talk/interact with them. It needs to be extended.
They should also allow a keystroke to remove players from the screen, there's another MMO that does this, I can't remember which one.

The problem with many of the anti/griefing measures suggested by players is that they conflict with Blizzard's anti-botting measures as well.

Look, it's great there are workarounds, and lord knows I've used them, but it doesn't excuse the behavior of these tools. Some of you guys have "accepted" too much in the way of abhorrent player behavior.

We're getting dangerously close to agreeing wholeheartedly with each other again on this topic here...
Here, I'll attempt to head off that agreement train with the following statement:
"Some of you guys are the ones perpetrating this behavior and who enjoy griefing others more than playing yourselves, which is why you're all "whee! Schadenfreude" about the people complaining. You're probably just trying to defend your own actions."
Did that help?

Yo, I herd you could only turn on NPC nameplates and not player nameplates. Of course, that would require someone actually, you know, being smart enough to use the options/keybinds screens. Don't feel bad. Lots of people didn't know there was more than one page of keybinds/options.

Part of the problem is all the ginormous mounts that people are using, too. All it takes is four or five people just near the guy, and as long as they are on a big drake of some sort, the whole area is pretty well blocked up.
