    Default Different color for leader on minimap.

    I haven't seen this mentioned yet. All we see on the minimap in a party is a whole mess of generic blue dots. If we could change the color of the leader of the group it would make things a lot easier in quests and especially in raids.

    Another thing that can be done is to change the color of the character name over the heads as well, that way you don't have to dart your eyes over to the minimap in the middle of a heated battle. I'm thinking for both of these a bright green would be ideal. Any thoughts?

    If you select a player on the map an arrow will point to them. It helps.

    I use this myself atm, but it would be nice if the party leader was represented by a gold/yellow star instead of a blue circle. Then you could use your map selection to identify the party healer or the trap finder.

    I would love a different color for the party leader. This way I could keep following the leader, and not accidentally end up following someone with suicidal intentions.

    Why would I care so much about the dot of the guy who had the star?

    Why would I care who even had the star?
    Once tried opening a shoe shop for beholders, when that didn't work out I decided to hit stuff with lumps of sharpened metal instead.

    Sometimes there is actually a leader of a quest, sometimes it is even the character that has the star.

    I wouldn't mind being able to right click on playernames and give them different generic symbols on the minimap, or change the order of the names in the listing. I think it could end up being being quite usefull.

    The leader isn't always the person who formed the group, but there are times when you really want to be able to quickly find one person. Sometimes it's because they're the one who's leading and sometimes it's the one who's just died/is dying and needs help.
