Um... look at how many people have griped about the player list in the window on the forums already. I've talked to countless people on Classic who also dislike it. Even then, some people may hate the GUI being displayed over the level as well. There is no harm done by adding a feature. Especially one that a lot of people would enjoy.

Yeah, the playerlist is somewhat transparent... and guess what? That's also extremely annoying. I don't enjoy having to squint at times to read it properly.
