when are minions in instances coming?

[Sakuraluna]

Do people actually tab through targets other than enemies? I've been tanking since 2.0, and I have never, ever, EVER tabbed to something that was not an enemy target.

Yeah, you're right, it's late here and I wasn't thinking. In XI it pretty much tabbed through everything. Still, in 8 man dungeons you'd have a head count of 16, and 24 man raids would be 48 if everyone queued with a minion out which would be the case for the first few day at least until the new wore off. IMO that's a lot of needless visual confusion.

This would be overkill.

[kyuven]

needless visual confusion.

These three words, combined with the fact that some people actually DO manually click targets, is the reason why minions will never appear in dungeons.
I hate to sound like an "elitist," but dungeons and raids are not dog shows. Most minions are either small animals or incredibly valuable pieces of machinery. Ask yourself for the sake of practicality: If you were a football player, would you bring your toy poodle to the game and have it out on the field? No matter how well behaved, that's no place for Mr. Flufficus.

They should make them untargetable and drop the huge nametag above their head. The name alone typically covers up someone's minion, lol.

You can turn off minion names in the names configurations.

Didn't know, I'll have to do that thanks!

[Ghastly]

Yes please! I'd love to see minions, they're such a special part of FFXIV.

There should be an achievement for collecting over 100 minions.
