    I'd like to give you all an update on the status of the marking feature we have been working to revamp.
    • Enemy and Ally signs will be combined into one category
    • Only party leaders will be able to mark targets
    • It will be possible to use these freely -- no more Guildleve or other content restrictions!
    Why only party leader? What if the party leader falls or is dealing with a different monster, requiring a second-in-command?

    It's really best that only one person can control it. Otherwise you get two different people trying to mark 2 different mobs as the primary attack target or something. Eliminates confusion, and the leader is the natural choice for the one person since they're supposed to, yknow, be leading.

    Maybe they could give the leader extra icons? This way any other party members can still mark mobs if the leader dies, but if the leader needs to direct people he/she can put up an icon exclusively available to leaders to prevent party members from muddling things too much.
