Here's my suggestion to make the compass easier to use as a way to talk to guild members without having to use teamspeak or ventillo.

When we "ping" on the map, make our party number appear in the center of it. We'd know who was pinging and could make 1 ping as help, 2 pings as retreat, or maybe you decide to make it to be the command to "spike." This way they're not just useless "pings" but actually show who's on the other end.

When we draw, show a small line drawing them out for us with the number of the player drawing them. That way we know who's drawing instructions and who's drawing the genitallia and scribbling and pinging everywhere.

Which brings me to my final suggestion, let us choose different shapes for our pings and colors for out drawing. Maybe you're a split group or have two people on different targets. The mesmer and warrior on your team may be just targetting the monk, and you'd like to distinguish what you're doing from what someone else is doing. Currently, if I was to just draw a line to show my path and ping a group of monsters while the other people are busy doing something else, it might distract them into some of them coming over from a group that needs their attention from our weak group who we've got handled.

I know I said that was my final suggestion, but I lied. :P Let us block out users who are doing things like constantly drawing or getting in the way, this block would last as long as you haven't gone through a portal or seen a loading screen. Then let us choose to keep this compass or the old one. Perhaps someone doesn't want to see everyone's multicolors and would rather see white.

Ideas, criticism? Please give your oppinions!

Heheh, I've drawn genitallia many a time on the compass.
