The Direction of FFXIV

[Aramil]

Thing is those people will have an advantage over you, also it will degrade your liability in a party, if you party with them again. His, lyn, and mine point is, the people that want it off are screwed no matter what.

Depend of you playing style. I like exploration so I'm visiting the area before being at the right rank to fight there. As a result I've learn what monster were aggressive way before partying there. Also most aggressive monster look aggressive(i know it's not always true) so the situation were you get your party kill by rushing in aggressive monsters is not something that will happen often. Aggressive monster killing you because you didn't knew they were aggressive is a one time surprise. Getting kill because you did not spot it happen way more often.

Personally that's why I'm waiting to see the new icon in-game. I don't care about knowing it's aggressive because that's a one time surprise. However I only want to see the icon if i spot the monster and not spot the monster because of the icon.(Not sure if I'm really clear ^^; ) The icon is just suppose to tell you if it's aggressive in case you didn't know and not to make sure that you notice the monster. So if it's too intrusive, i'll turn it off, otherwise, i don't care.
