What this game needs most right now: waymark clear announcements in chat.

Please, please, please, please, please, for the love of god... make this happen. I can't count the number of times I've been at Cloud of Darkness and some jerk has to clear waymarkers every time A, B, and C are placed.

It is really inconvenient and it makes no sense why there are chat announcements for player markings but not way marks. It impedes upon gameplay and the experience as a whole, not to mention the fact that you can't even find out who's doing it so you can report them. GG, SE?

To add to this it would be nice for one more waymark (Waymark D) OR Ground only waymarks for the smaller fights where you want to know where to go but dont want the overhead mess because you are looking for icons above players' heads (like Dive Bombs)

You do realize that you may not be the only person that putting them down at the start of the fight. I've been on many myself and once their up they stay up... Who really has time to move them anyways.

T9 you do move them mid-fight. There are other fights where its not needed but for the sake of helping someone learn the fight could be moved mid-fight.

I agree these would be useful and perhaps more in line with the way most players use waymarks. Unfortunately IIRC the developers have said they intended the waymarks only to be used for alliance placement in the Crystal Tower and had no plans to change them.

Yes I realize this and the situation I'm concerned with is when all waymarkers are placed, they don't need to be moved mid-fight, and somebody continuously keeps clearing them before we even engage. For whatever reason, this amuses them, but it also inconveniences the alliance as a whole.

I move them all the time in Duty Finder. I tank 99% of the time and always place markers where I'm pulling or moving a mob. Started doing it as the DB marker for T9 way back in the day and haven't stopped.

Like Garuda HM/EX place an A where I'm going to stand so even the most novice player gets a heads up.

You can still report a griefing player who keeps removing waymarks in WoD, causing wipes. Having a name makes the GM's job easier but they can still see the instance activity log and get the name from there. Just give them an approximate server time and go forward with the report.

Ok I cannot give you the source, but this was asked before and they said that they wont add a 4th waymark. Those werent meant to mark terrain to handle mechanics but were added for the 24 man raids only. I cant remember exactly what they said, but it was something like: a 4th mark would be too convenient and make things too easy. or something like that. I could remember that incorrectly, but at least they said they wont add a 4th.

Also ontopic:
Ya Id also like such a feature. Weve wiped 2 times with some fairly new players at the last boss in wod cause someone always removed all 3 when it was time to move to your teams add. I managed to put them down right when they spawn so most players got a glimpse at them and knew where to move. on the other hand that team that probably did this was getting locked out with half their team on those adds every single time and it definitely looked like it was on purpose...but we cleared it on the 3rd try

Back ontopic: The same problem occured with the rdy check when it was added. Ppl abused it hard in the 24 man raids and then they added a message who started it. Would be nice if we could get similar messages: "Player A placed Waymark A" or "Player B removed all three waymarks".
