No that is not correct.
In vanilla wow nameplates dissapear after a certain distance.
You have to hover your mouse over creatures.
Some are marked to have extra nameplate range of course, but most are not, usually it's just BIG mobs.
Hell in vanilla the nameplate itself can't even appear till they are rather close.
Retail they also don't appear but the distance is FAR longer.
Which is why it works with arathi so well. Especially since this mode you can't zoom out a ton, it is a major boon.
