    Having seen people mess up who goes where a lot in the raids, I dont think its a safe or very good assumption to say "old everyone knows it". Seems like a personal assertion on 23 other people, that's dangerous lol.

    I get that you'd expect people to know it, especially if its old. But I'm not certain they're wasted even now at this point. I see a lot of mess up on the trio add points and such like that if they're not labeled.

    People also forget that not everyone is as coherent as they are. Even though I've run the content several times I still sometimes get dissoriented and find the letters helpful. I think it just boils down to are you going to be "that" guy. Its not only a wasted effort like Shurrikhan said its also not hindering you in any way. so why be rude and hinder those who do find them helpful?

    Reread my post, i said markers on me or the healer, not the A,B,C,D markers. and usually the dps who put the markers for some reason.

    Was more a response to the mate above you . (Who I know means well, just think for something like raid that they can always be helpful- doubtful all 24 have a solid understanding/don't want a little help - even if you have it perfect they're awesome when tired lol).

    OP was more leaning to the letters on the ground, I don't think there is any situation where the players need the on top of character makers in generic raid content (more of a pvp and ex/savage thing). I might understand if someone marks everyone with squares and whatever and then another removes it cause there is nothing that needs it lol.

    I find the markers helpful even in old content. Circular arenas are my bane; I get turned about easily.

    As for marking tanks, it is useful to see where they are in a chaotic fight (especially the lalafel). Can't heal them if they're out of range, nor are classes distinct any more with all the glamors.
