This idea is what I always wanted.
/signed for THIS idea.

It would allow me to know where the monk is without having to turn the view and hold a button, and it would allow me to know where the other warriors are so I wouldnt need to race to another gate in FA. One warrior is enough to guard a gate. Would save me a lot of time running around looking for a heal or to see where I'm needed. With colored dots I would be able to tell just by looking. Plus when the ele/mesmer's screamed for help, I wouldnt have to waste time looking for them. I would see where they were and be able to back them up quickly.

your AV should have exclusion directories or files. I would try that.

Hm... dots and names have 5 colors:
* Lime : neutral NPCs
* Green: Allied NPCs
* Red: Hostile NPCs.
* Blue: Players not in parties in outposts.
* Dark Blue: Players in parties in outposts.

And when a dot is selected, its border is colored yellow.

With you idea, the border would have a different color depening on profession... but... there are 10 professions.

Profession colors go like this:
* Warrior : Yellow
* Ranger: Light green/Lime
* Monk: Blue
* Necromancer: Green/Dark green.
* Mesmer: Pink/Magenta
* Elementalist: Red
* Assassin: Purple/Lavender
* Ritualist: Cyan/Viridian
* Paragon: Orange/Pale yellow
* Dervish: Gray/Brown

That's basically all 7 basic colors with extras.

With all those colors, it would be a mess to check things out. How do we note the currently selected dot? With white? White is hard to tell from yellow.

10 professions use a wide range of colors.

It's hard to make this work...
