What would it be like without being able to click enemy name plates, or see people behind objects because of them?

Awful. Can't fathom how people can play without enemy name plates in PvP
Id be fine with terrain obscuring nameplates (if you cant see their toon, you shouldnt be able to click on their nameplate, sure) but otherwise? No. would be unplayable. A land of Goblins and Gnomes as far as the eye could see, with Noggenfogger.
This. It's fucking awful to watch a someone play without them on (only one I've actually watched would be Mercader). Melee is a cluster fuck at the best of times, without nameplates it'd be down-right unplayable. If they removed them everyone would roll gnome and use noggen foggers.
i don't use them, i do not need it.
you can rotate them with the enemy tab button and use arena focus macros 1,2,3
i am puzzled why anyone would click in pvp, too....?
only use of it is to show enemy class and hostile chars behind an object like a pillar.

You can change the options to target neareast enemy player, rather than any enemy, sure, but even if you do, you'd need to swap back to "nearest enemy" if you do PvE, even if it's just Tanaan, unless you want to click on every single PvE enemy. "Nearest enemy [player]" can also be highly unintelligent, and target some target you don't care about. Indeed, PvErs hate this function. If you're melee, it targets something out of range, a target you've already dealt with (say for DotS) or a target that isn't even in combat.
If I'm playing warlock, I also want to get that Immolate on a hunter's pet, or a Havoc, to help me get embers. Regardless of having "target nearest enemy" and "target nearest enemy player" it will get messy if I want to switch between the hunter or the pet without the healthbars. I even have enemy health bars with colors, so I better can know what class I'm dealing with. Tab targetting or mousing over would be too inefficient, even more so when the box in the lower right corner sometimes disppear.
At the end of the day, you play how you want. You best knows what works for you, but I feel I could confidently state that the majority of WoW's playerbase do prefer their enemy health bars.
no, seems you cannot read a bit of text and i am not your bro, Mr. Mouseclicker.
In short i am using arena focus 1,2,3 and battleground targets in rbgs, enemy tab button in random pvp and it works everytime i might add instantly, must be magic, having no trouble at all to find my target in 1 sec without clicking there as usually there is no target to call out for in unrated pvp.
I still do not necessarly need nameplates to be able to target anything, it might be needed to see behind obstacles, but i almost play this game with eyes closed because i play since arenas came out in BC. Saying your problems here aren't my problems.

All they need to do is completely fix nameplates to hide for players behind walls / structures.
