Please change mob AOE circles back the way they were

If they decide to change it, I would appreciate an option to choose which one I want.
I myself love the new indicators.

Honestly I don't mind the new style though I can see how they would be an issue on visually intensive fights like Bismark EX, some of the Vault fights or Thordan's Reign. Ideally I'd like to see an option to chose between the two models, the one we had prior to 3.1 and the one in 3.1 in the client.

Please NO. The new AOES are much, much better. We don't need regress. At maximum, give an OPTION to use the previous ones. I want mine the way they are now: clean, with better resolution and easier to see.

Well, the patch notes said they were going to be adjusted to more accurately depict the area of an AoE attack. Personally, I don't think that's the best description of the change. This seems to be more of a stylistic difference in how they look than about how accurate their area is (though it may in fact be both for all I can tell).

[2.0] The appearance of action indicators has been adjusted to more accurately display the area of effect for attacks.

It's minimal issue to anyone else but a big problem to some.

Then make it optional. Just don't force the old ones again on people who can now dodge better because these are crisper and brighter.

No thank you. The aoe indicators looked way sloppy before hand. Now it's much easier to tell when someone's standing in bad.

I dont have have problem with the new ones. They look more stylish now and "cleaner" in a way. A multi option selection would have been nice though.

Just remove any indicator already. its too easy with those.

The issue is primarily in development mentality. Remember that SE is a Japanese company. The most common colorblindness, red-green (the inability to see reds and greens), is only found in 5% of Asian men. This means it carries a much lower priority. That being said, 10% of Caucasian men suffer from it. That's right, 1 in every 10 Caucasian males in NA and EU is red-green colorblind. Game developers have to take this into account when releasing games to western audiences. A significantly large portion of the player base can't see reds and greens.

The new ones are usable for me, but I preferred the previous incarnation. It would have been nice if they made it an option in the config menu.
