Aggro Icon

[Darkrose]

I don't like this aggressive icon either, it make Final Fantasy XIV look really fake and not blend in the atmosphere. Also, I rather know or have people learn which mob aggress and which does not. It take out the fun out exploring. There should be an option to turn this off, so people who want it there can have it and people who doesn't like it can have it turn off. Someone should also post this in Suggestion Thread so the developer can see and look into it.

Agreeing that, from an aesthetic point of view, the aggro icon should be replaced with a colour coding system.

I personally don't find the idea of distinguishing between aggro and non-aggro monsters patronising, nor do I feel it ruins any sense of adventure - I've never been much of a masochist '-'; - but having the option to toggle it on or off seems like a sensible one!

Off with the ICON!

[SnowMoonsong]

Agreed. Off with the icon.

[Xenor]

Just make it optional, problem solved.

[Vesper]

I would say the following would be a good idea.

• Keep the icons, but shrink them by 50%
• Add the ability to toggle them on and off via the configurations (like names)

this allows those who hate them the change to hide them and allows those who like them their ability to use em. Win/Win.

Optional or gone,i should not have to play with an ugly red dot .
Options and customization is always welcome.

[SolArisa]

Please remove the aggro icon again, and roll back the changes of icon and mob sizes from patch 1.16.

[Rowyne]

The icon takes the fun on wondering if a red mob is going to kick your butt or not.

And how is this fun?

It's about time hostile monsters were designated somehow! I didn't think it was fun finding out the hard way which aggroed and which didn't. You had to memorize families of monsters and hope your memory didn't fail you.

I don't really care how it's done. Red name, icon designation, doesn't matter. But this option needs to stay!

I'm sure SE will implement a toggle feature. Personally, it doesn't bother me that much. What did bother me was the wave of whining about it directly after the patch. People were so angry about it, as if you keyed their car or something.

You bet I'll be turning it off the second I can, though.
