I"ve been asking since launch. Even though its something that WAS IN THE GAME (theres screenshots of its option to turn it off in beta floating around) they removed it. So it's there and anet for "reasons" decided no, we can't have extra options in the game and gave us that and a terrible uncustomizable UI. The only thing I can think of is that they are extreme control freaks. From these forums where anything will get u a warning, to the game where no add ons are allowed and the UI is is 100% uncostomizable. I can't even think of another MMO where you can't delay or turn off tooltips and have simple basic options, all the way back from something even as ancient as LOTRO and DDO.
