Guild Wars 2

Currently, there’s an option to turn off map markers for various things, including zone completion rewards.

As it currently stands, if you turn off the zone completion icons, you can’t see any zone completion icons even after you’ve found them.

I’m guessing that a large number of people who would use this feature, probably most of them, are turning off the zone completion icons so that they can find everything themselves.

The problem with the system as it stands is that you don’t see points of interest, vistas or skill challenges that you’ve already found. For an explorer this means you have to keep a notebook and pen and paper by the side of your desk and try to record where each way point is.

There should be an explorer mode where you turn off map icons until they’re discovered, afterwhich they appear. This would allow old school RPGs players to play the game as explorers, much more than what exists now.
