Guild Wars 2

I would really love to see this simple option added to the game. I really wish I could see the yellow text for harvesting points in the world without looking to the mini-map for node locations or needing to hold a key down. The same would go for random yellow renown heart items as well.

Practical use explanation [Not for the TL;DR crowd]:
NOTE: When discussing the binding of Crtl, Shift, & Alt, I’m talking about the left side of the keyboard, because I’m right-handed and use a 5-button mouse in my right hand, so binding the right side of the keyboard is not an option I would choose.

The default key for these commands are Crtl and Alt respectively. Left Crtl is the default mapping for push-to-talk on Ventrilo which I’m accustomed to from years of use. So I’ve moved the Show Enemy binding from Crtl to Shift so as not to broadcast my voice everytime I’m searching for yellow text nodes/items. As a former WoW player who utilized a very complex key binding system, I’ve grown accustomed to using shift and alt as modifiers for key bindings. Although I never click on abilities from the tool bar, my wife whom also plays will be holding down shift to search for items/nodes and prefers to click her abilities leading to the ability sometimes being spammed in various chats.

If these visual aids could be toggled on instead of holding a key it would make for a much smoother play experience.

Thank you for the consideration!

I agree. This would be helpful and a non intrusive way of giving people more options in what is and is not displayed.
