Totally agree with this AND the thread in general. As absurd as it sounds, studies show that people operate off of visual cues more than anything else (there is a lengthy yet distinct difference between reading and symbols) which brings up the seek flag. The game needs this and it needs it in a simplified manner that is intuitive and familiar (keyword) to what the playerbase knows. And, from what I have experienced, a majority of players left (again, my experience) are XI players.
