You know when you shift click on a map and you get this gigantic pulsing red symbol that pops out. It’s a very clear marker right?

THAT should be your DEFAULT symbol representing “YOU ARE HERE” when you go to the map. The current symbol for “you” on the map is far far faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar too subtle. I can’t count, quite literally, how many times I’ve pulled up the map, looked around to see what areas I have left to clear, and then had to close the map and reopen it JUST to reacquire where the **** I was on the actual map to begin with.

The same goes for group mates. Not kidding you, this conversation happens at least 4 times a night on vent:

“Where are you?”
[[insert location]]
“You know the drill, figure 8’s until I spot you”

And that is exactly what the person does, they run in figure 8 patterns in order for the pin point blue dot that someone thought would be a good enough party member marker to stand out on the very colorful, and beautiful map.

Long story short, I should not have to look (I mean actually LOOK) for either myself or my party members on the map. It should literally be a 5 second process. Pull up the map, there they are, here I am, here I go. Done. End of story.

Not an MMO version of ’Where’s Waldo?’
