This clutters up my minimap too much and i can't tell where my pt members are or enemy mobs compared to the harvesting dots. And I'm partially colorblind so coloring them don't help.

I am seriously going to beat you until battle tanks pull us apart.
I am super pumped for this! Thanks SE!

Thankyou SE !!
I would suggest
- Making the icons slightly larger yellow dots than the "picture" icons.
- Only show those for the class you have equipped, IE only show Mining nodes when you have the mining class equipped.
- Only show nodes that you have recently scanned for.

I can.. definitely see the utility here, but I would really, really like the option to turn these things off as well.
The map is already starting to get a bit crowded in places as-is, and even that aside I can see it looking untidy and I'm not even completely sure that, on the occasions I want to play as a gatherer, I'd even want to use the things. And that's setting aside that unlike most of the other icons, these are only really useful if you're a Disciple of the Land.
I mean definitely don't remove them (unless they went so far as to make the gathering nodes move about and finding them a constant part of the class gameplay.. which I'd think rather nice, but eh), but.. surely it'd be nice to be able to turn them off.
Hell, while we're at it, why not make it so we can go through the legend and tell it what icons and labels we do and don't want on out maps, in general?

dont matter to me i already memorized the areas i gather.
Just makes it so lazy people can know where the nodes are.
Most people serious about gathering probably allready had there own maps made for the most part. Hopefully it doesn't just ping only the active nodes otherwise we may as well not even have harvesting skills related to find finding them.
I like how they added icons on the minimap for gathering spots. My question is, will they show up on the full-size map too...?
Also, I think it'd be nice to actually be able to draw things or write notes on our maps too, maybe to mark hidden underground paths, or good spots for exp parties, etc. That, and being able to show or hide various map markers like someone else suggested would be nice too, to avoid clutter.
What I'd like though is if they just changed it so gathering points could only be targeted by DoL classes. Gets annoying as I'm doing a leve as a combat class and I cycle through as I'm running just to spot a ??? mark and think it's a treasure chest. I'm not a DoL class, why do I need to know there's a gathering point to the left of me?
