Could you please give every player in a party their own color, so you know immediately who's straggling, etc.
Everyone knows those "where?", "at me" situations where you need to mouse-over every blue dot.
They don't even have to be bright red-blue-green-yellow-purple-orange, even something as subtle as shades of blue would probably do.

Some people are color blind, so this may not be much help to them.
How about when you press the F1-F12 key, it highlights them on the mini-map as well as put them in your focus orb? I've wanted this for some time..."I require a reminder as to why raining arcane destruction is not an appropriate response to all of life's indignities" - Vaarsuvius, OoTS #674

Or it highlights them when you click on their name in the party list.

No reason not to also do that, yeah. Originally Posted by Phidius

Besides, i grew up with monochrome monitors, they found a way back then, i hardly think that's a major issue...
