Answers.Text: You can use explanatory text at the top of the registration page, plus the profile you use for the form you can set the titles for the fields. So you could change it to "Attendee's Name" or something like that.

Comments.Text: he headache of time wasters on admin manual followups is the issue with 0.  We allow zero for discounts.  Having a zero  price will allow anyone to choose zero and not pay the appropriate amount which will then give us more work on a skeleton staff.

ThreadText: # Event Person who Books Doesn't Attend Attend
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2022-09-22)
  
  At our events the person who registers multiple people isn't necessarily going to attend the event. Is there a way that I can allow for this so they don't become registered as part of the process of online payments?

  You can always register other contacts from the event registration page. It is not mandatory to be a current user.
  
  In [CiviCRM 5.54](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/24167) each participant can be tracked by which user registered the contact for the event.
