Why are commanders showing up on my mini-map outside of WvW? I was certain I saw another thread about this somewhere but the search tool isn’t finding it (although that thread was more about the commander tags above players heads).
Anyway, what I’m referring to is commander icons on the mini-map. I don’t want them on my mini-map outside of WvW. The mini-map in the PvE world points out a few important things: lets me keep track of my personal waypoints, events, NPC scouts, reknown tasks, resource nodes, party members, and vendors. And the last thing I want cluttering that display up further are icons tracking the position of other players I don’t care about who are across the map.
I’m fine with it being there if it has to be in PvP, but not in PvE. I realize someone paid a 100 gold for the commander title but I simply don’t see how that buys them the right to force their icon onto my radar display when we’re in the PvE world. What benefit am I gaining from information on their location in a PvE zone? It’s useless additional information my client is tracking all the time. And if they’re in the same map as you it’s always there.. not just when they’re within range of you, but all the time hugging the edge the of the “radar” display indicating their direction from you. I don’t need nor want that information in the PvE game.
Is there a way to turn this off on my end?
