Minimap icons of active nodes

wow doesnt show them....so how is that turning it into wow(ui enhancement programs do not count)

If I rememmber correctly, WoW's Miner can track for nodes through minimap.

The way of current gathering point's searching in FFXIV is fine in my opinion.
For familiar players, its easy enough to find nodes or else it's that player's problem in surrounding awareness.
For newbie players, there's plenty of gathering guides through the internet. I hate people who complain on provider without seeing their manual book.

But I understand your problem. If there should be tracking symbol on minimap, I suggest that it should be tiny yellow(or any color) area pop up when we use Arbor Call, Lay of the Land, Gulleye and fade out in about 5 seconds.

It's good to make it more convenience for players but it's bad to make it too easy.
