All it did was show me vendor icons and a JP path. The icons were stupid small and the interface was pretty much garbage to work with.

After all, you've said yourself that people experience the game in different ways and that you shouldn't tell others how to play it. You're willing to reject the experiences of other people because of your own perceptions, but don't seem to realise that what didn't work for you, might work for your new player friend? Also, TacO has a couple of different flavours when it comes to marker packs. [Tekkit's](http://tekkitsworkshop.net/index.php/gw2-taco/download) marker pack has pretty decent sized icons, as does the [ReActif](https://www.heinze.fr/taco/?lang=en) set up. As someone who's used TacO for a few years now, it sounds like your personal experiences of using TacO were because you didn't fully understand how to use it, or that custom markers/trails are available and can be toggled on and off to suit your own preferences. I suggest you let your new player friend find out for themselves what TacO can offer them and whether or not it suits their needs rather than deciding for them. > OK. Lets talk about taco and my friend, then. Since that seems to be the only thing people can come up with. I doubt how taco works on first use with zero instructions or a readme text file and being some crappy UI that I couldn't find an answer for to get properly working has nothing to do with how someone else experiences the game. And trust me. I clicked every thing and nothing happened. Plus I could have been doing something that I wouldn't know what the outcome of because again, zero instructions. A readme file was the first thing I looked for after extracting. Besides, I already told them to look into it and try to see if they like it. If its been out for yeas then why does it look so ugly? Why does it have to be inside the game? Why can't it just be some tool that runs outside the window while attached to the process? And if I wanted an event timer I'd look at the wiki because that display is just gross.

But is there an option for people who are, say, color blind? Maybe their vision isn't so good any more. Maybe seeing the color blue looks blurry to them. Little considerations like that could be added to possible future conveniences. I tried Taco. All it did was show me vendor icons and a JP path. The icons were stupid small and the interface was pretty much garbage to work with. I don't think my new player friend will enjoy it to much based on my experience.

Better content guides and UI improvements have been suggested for years. > > Like I said, I'm not being snarky, but your opening post was a bit... odd > > As for ideas, I for one want to see a better - perhaps even 3D - map for HoT. Especially Tangled depths Oh yeah, I know what you mean. But that only seems possible with Anets dev software atm. It's pretty cool how they get around compared to what it's like being a character. I once mentioned something like what Tomb Raider has. Where things glow and helps to look for things better rather than staring at the ground hoping some text pops up. Maybe overkill, though. Mean while we have all of these new games with Ansel and in game photo shooting that can view around the areas.

I got pebbles.
