Misleading/wrong color for Immortal Flames in Seal Rock (Seize)

Date & Time:
Always/Any time

Frequency:
Always

Character Name:
Baron Eduardo

Race:
Roegadyn

World:
Goblin

Class/Level:
Any / lv60

Area and Coordinates:
PvP Map Seal Rock (Seize), any coordinates

Party or Solo:
Party/Alliance

NPC Name:
None

Monster Name:
None

In-Game Time:
Any

Steps:
Detailed steps on how the issue occurred.
1. Join Order of Twin Adders or Maelstrom as your Gran Company.
2. Unlock the Frontlines PvP map "Seal Rock (Seize)"
3. Queue for "Seal Rock (Seize)" and wait for DF to pop
4. After the match has started, make sure you or any party/alliance member is near anyone from the Immortal Flames Gran Company.
5. Press the appropriate button to open the map.
6. Observe that your party members are marked as blue dots, just like the Immortal Flames ENEMIES are also marked as blue dots on the map.

This gives members of the immortal flames an unfair advantage, since they can quickly see if one of their occupied allagan tomeliths have red (maelstron) or yellow (adders) dots, which is not true for the other 2 Gran Companies.

Also, newcomers to pvp might think they are running towards party members for support/heals, but in fact are running towards the enemy, just to feed them easy kills, which aggravates the fact even further.

To be fair, they are dark blue triangles while your party are light blue circles..
but yes this is annoying. Not a bug though, more of a "please change to black or something Squeenix" thing.

Already posted on PvP forums and sent in game suggestion.
No reply whatsoever.

So I decided to post this as a bug.

If they move to the "Not a bug" sub-forum, then it's clear the developers do want the Immortal Flames to have unfair advantages.
Then again the Yoshi P guy is from Immortal Flames...
Hmmm.....

Or it's clear that it's not a bug, but rather is a questionable design choice.

Then maybe post in the Suggestion section? No one of importance looks at the "Not a Bug" forum because....they aren't bugs, why would they?

Correct me if I'm wrong but can't you change the color that each GC appears as in PvP? Under Character Configuration and such?

You can change the colors of enemies, but in maps it remains the default color. For example, I am maelstrom and I changed flames enemies to red so I can distinguish them, but on the map they still remain blu.

As much as this suggestion is probably fair, it won't get noticed. SE outside of Japan is useless. Tell them you'd buy a plush at the same time then it might get looked at.

If you mean the devs commenting/listening to things on the forums then I'm sort of tired of this myth. Sure, most of the devs probably only read Japanese and as such glance over the JP forum until waiting to be told what's in the English forums but that doesn't mean they outright ignore the western fanbase. I can pretty much guarantee you that English devs wouldn't look at a suggestion put into a bug report section. Also, there is no reason for the English community team to pass it on if people can't take the effort to post in the right section.
