There’s an interface option that controls when the names of NPCs (not nameplates) show over their heads. I’ve always had that set to “Quest NPCs only”, which means that the only enemies in the world that show names are those I have a quest for. For some reason, since the 11.0 patch, hostile NPCs always show their names no matter which of the settings I choose. This is on my M1 MBP.
Is this using default nameplates? some 3rd party nameplate addons may take over the cvars
Was using ElvUI nameplates, but this was for names on mobs that were out of nameplate range so I was thinking it didn’t have to do with nameplates. It’s working right now though.
