Please change the color of the target ping on the map, or the graphics used in the ping, or just let us disable it altogether if we want to. Often players use pings to denote a possible danger in the map (such as a point being decapped by an enemy) or just to call attention to the minimap in general. Not all players are creatures evolved to only have tunnel vision, and some do see the map as a whole. Believe it or not, some don’t just think about what’s happening currently on a node, but what could happen on the whole map in the near future as the battle progresses. This impostor red ping is just attention grabbing, and it just leaves you wondering what the other players were trying to say, when it was just another player spamming the target button. It could be useful in PvE, zZzzzZZZzzzzZ, woops pardon me, I fell asleep because I was so unimpressed, as I was saying it’s just a clutter in the UI in PvP mode. Some people who don’t use team tactics in PvP might find it amusing though. Ooohh mini-map special effects! What next fireworks and explosions on the minimap?

As a side note, I’ve been wanting to ask this, but I keep forgetting to post this (I might repost it to remind the devs). Could we have more options with pinging in the minimap. Such as a blinking shield or sword icon on the map (maybe with a number to denote the player who pinged it). Since you are about to implement leagues in PvP which was already in other games for a long time, when are you going to implement more useful map pings, which other games have already been implementing for years. Maybe expansion 2?
