Nameplate indicator to show if another user can see your current avatar, it's fallback, or it's imposter.

It would be very nice when performing at a venue dancing or doing other performance based content to tell if the audience can even see your current avatar. Would lead to more performers using optimized avatars I believe once they finally realized that the vast majority of the audience can't even see them.

It could be useful maybe. It would also make a lot of my friends disappointed in me for not having their avatars enabled though.
The main issue I see is that rather or not another player can see your avatar depends on that user's local settings, so you would have to query the status of your avatar's visibility from other's point of view almost constantly if you want it to be reliable. That or go back to the old days of sending network events every time you change the avatar visibility setting on someone, which was originally removed because it was a lot of pointless moderation actions being sent.
It would be funny for the e-girl and e-boy avatar users though, having them realize that a lot of people block their avatars because they are so badly optimized. But that should seriously be made the social norm for people, more awareness that "Very Poor" performance rated avatars are BAD, and not acceptable.

An indicator that said person is still downloading you would also be nice.

i would love this. while it absolutely wouldnt stop people from wearing unoptimized avatars (they don't care anyway) as a mute theres always an awkward moment where i have to wait for someone to fully show my avatar while im trying to show off a toggle, so it'd be nice to know when someone has my avatar hidden

This is actually genius

This would solve people having horribly unoptimized avatars almost overnight. Spread the word!

This would be a game changer. As an avatar creator, even when using a medium avatar most of the times, sometime I have gotten performance blocked and I don't know until I get told and then I understand the comments about "looking like a PS1 model". And as a regular user, it would be an amazing wake up call to very poor avatar users because they would notice how little people can see them.

giving a +1 as the reason for Android being on nameplates was cited to show what type of content the player you are talking to is seeing. by extension, knowing who's seeing your impostor or fallback should be implemented also for conversation to be easier. giving an example, ive had a few players joke about someone else being "playstation 1" and such when they were seeing impostors, with the other party having no idea what they meant. same could apply to fallbacks me think

It would also clear up a lot of confusion when interacting with people who see you as your fallback avatar, especially newcomers.
