Guild Wars 2

Please give us the option to hide them on the map. In PvE they’re beyond pointless and I don’t even care where the attention seeking farmers are in the least bit; but unfortunately because they’re ignorant I have to deal with map clutter.

I agree with giving people the option. I disagree that they’re beyond pointless: It is easier for my guild [larger than 5] to follow the shield than a blue dot that only some can see. It also provides an easy graphical reference point when organizing an ‘unofficial’ event, such as a map-exploration run. That’s useful for small guilds, new players, and others who may just want to want to be a part of the slaughter for a while.

Far from pointless, but options are good.
