We currently have:

- Start mission icon. Seen in Presearing and in Nightfall missions.
- Start challenge icon. Seen in Nightfall only.
- Quest giving icon. Seen all over the game.
- Quest point. Icon. All over the game too.
They can be clicked on (yes, they can, try it)
They usually are hidden when the model is taller than an average Human.

I think that, when there is some time to, they could be fixed and upgraded:

Upgrade the Prophecies and Factions Missions and challeges so they start with an NPC, and, of course, give that NPC the proper icon.
Make them detect the height of the model, to prevent them for being 'inside' the creatures, or make them move up and down a bit, so they at last show up form inside the creature.

Make new ones:
- For service NPCs, maybe one for all (a bag), or, even better, one for each one, in that case they could be colored yellow instad of green.
-- Merchant: gold coin.
-- Armor crafter, weapon crafter, weaponsmith: Anvil
-- Scroll trader: Scroll.
-- Rune trader: All profession rune icon
-- Dye trader: Dye bottle.
-- Crafting/Rare materials traders, artisans: a pearl, a bunch of stuff.
-- Xunlai storage/Xunlai chest: none, XD, they are already easily noticeable without hitting Alt.
-- Collector: A Bag, much like the collector icon.
-- Skill trainer/hero trainer/Profession changer: A five-pointed star.
-- Priest of Balthazar/Guild Lord and other PvP services: An elite Templar helmet.
-- Henchmen: none, or a [wiki]Tall Shield[/wiki].

- Another for quest reward givers: a bag or a coin ,for example (if the others are yellow instead of green, won't be a problem)
Hm... I'm not convinced with all icons... hm... but the main idea is there.

When it comes to an NPC having more than one icon, quest icons will have preference over normal ones.

And of course, since some people would fin it annoying, an option could be added to hide them.

Nice Idea, I like it. Would make them easier to find for people new to town.

Yup, it would be easier to use than just hitting alt and look for the [service] tags.

I don't really like having to Alt inside posts.

It would make the towns more shiny and colorful...
