Buffer Zone for NPCs

I'd really love to see the developers implement a buffer zone around the NPCs.
Yeah, I know that I can find the NPC by pushing shift and sweeping my mouse back-and-forth across the screen until I find him/her/it, but it's annoying. Last weekend, after NW, the crowd of mounts and flyers was so huge at the North banker it took awhile to pick the banker out from the mailbox and other NPCs. There was no hope whatsoever of actually seeing him.
My suggestion is to add a small buffer zone which prevents one from sitting your mammoth on the NPC's head; just a couple of inches of free space (unless you're using your big screen television for a monitor). Just enough so we can maneuver our viewpoint past Fallen Roc's flapping wings.
If the developers REALLY wanted to earn our love they could take that simple idea and go first-class with it:
* Make it so that crashing your polar bear into the buffer takes you off your mount. Or flyer in that case.
* Prevent Cat shops from being set up in the buffer zone.
