PLEASE re-work SNEAK.

Auto-activating Sneak on job change was an overcorrection for sure. Now I have to manually adjust it every time I want the job to simply look normal. It's not like you get attacked that often anyway, especially as max level... Works for many levels above your character's level too. At that point, the stealth mechanic might as well just not even exist out of how thoughtless it is.

First they put VIT on the gear so that you don't get one-shotted when you get hit by a monster while gathering. Then they placed monsters away from nodes so that you don't get attacked. Now with auto sneak and it not having any disadvantages for gathering it makes their previous made adjustments obsolete.

That makes the overworld even less dangerous. And when you are in a new expansion and level up a gatherer simultaneously you just switch to the gatherer when you have to walk through monsters before you can fly.

Whether the orbs are visible should at least be some kind of a toggleable option, and you also already have an indicator of Sneak being active because of its associated buff. Whether other players can see them or not doesn’t affect their own gameplay either.

I agree with wanting the spinny lights removed, and now have the same issue with RDM's new PVP spinny lights (White/Black Shift circle). It's fine while we're in battle, but not at the Wolves' Den trying to browse glamours. It's very unpleasant, particularly off to the side of whatever I'm focused on, and I have to switch jobs to get it off my screen and move away from anyone else with it active.

Right? I get having it being visible all the time while in combat, but come on. At least let us turn it off in the Wolves' Den.

I agree, the spinning orbs are annoying and I'd much rather not see them. I'd prefer it if our character faded out like we did with the old sneak.
You could leave it so the orbs show up if you have all your own effects showing but not on limited or none, the way the exclamation marks for fishing work at the moment.
