Enemies visible on minimap?
I’ve had it happen about 4 times since release. Ran from Citadel-Garri and saw dots, also from our EB keep to SM.

We’re looking for players.
PM me here or ING.
I’ve seen this happen in Obsidian Sanctum a few times, but not in the main WvW maps.
If you look at the orange dots more closely you’ll see that they are miniature ArenaNet logos. This is a known issue. As for the underlying reason, I suspect that it has something to do with enemy players being within your radar range when you spawn into a zone. Happens most often in OS but can also happen when you switch maps and spawn directly inside a keep (enemies don’t usually hang around the base spawn location for this effect to trigger).
In EotM, sentries serve this purpose, along with sentry turrets — enemies will show up as orange dots in the same way. I’m guessing it’s a bug carried over from that system that somehow crops up in real WvW.
I actually wouldn’t mind seeing this implemented for sentries in the WvW mainstay; I think it’s kinda neat.
