Maybe it should, but it's not my call. :)
Current order of priority, as I know it:
Map reset > Buff system > Quest system > Other stuff
I agree with you that it's important; character recognition is a feature I've wanted since the beginning,
but it's also not as game changing as the higher priorities, imho.
I've discussed it a few times with Loftar, but he never decided on how he wants it implemented,
only that some kind of tagging would be a good idea.
