This is wierd, sometimes I see other players as white box. What it can mean?
It looks funny.

If sounds like wha was going on during the Nightfall PVP event...
Some players ran around AB with huge white blocks for heads
Personally, I prefer a Pyramid to anything

I would suggest running a -image. Often the whitebox issue happens which some bit of graphics is missing or currupted for some reason.

I have often had that happen to me in the past. Usually when the Graphics card gets hot. Its solved by turning off ur PC for a while, letting it cool down and then loading up gw and letting the archives repair themselves (since they were corrupted by the hot graphics card)

I had the exact same thing happen to me ages back, right before my old 6600GT went tit's-up! It was down to a over-heating graphics card because the fan on the GPU had decided to break.

I get it sometimes as well. Usually I log out and go back in again and its ok, but sometimes GW comes up with a box stating its repairing data which takes a while. Then its ok. Hasnt happened for a little while.

Its a data issue. Like when youj try to trade somethin and all you get is a small construction guy. It happens when your computer doesnt have th full download of all the data. I thought you were seeing little spots not the whole character which is driver and heat related.
