I thought that they were going to allow players to make marks on their own maps like we could in FFXI. I found this a very useful mechanism because I could mark camp sites, nm spawn points and notes that would alert me to aggressive mobs and mining or gathering points if I chose to do so.

Hopefully they will have a method of filtering so that these map marks are able to be displayed or not displayed at the players discretion.

In my opinion it is making gathering way too easy. Why even have Gulleye, Arbor Call or Prospect now that the points will be marked on the map?
