Addition to the radar dots suggestion

[TiMoN]

As far as I know there's no need to turn off the complete minimap, I remember there being a function where you can just turn off the blips.

Actually that function is for removing the minimap and keeping the blips 

[Bruce.]

What if we get one week trial for this and based on how it will work out, decide if we keep the blips on or off

[KelviNC]

This community is alive because of it's players. Not the players for the community. I think what is been asked for should be granted to the players. Almost all the players are here in the favor of removal of blips. Why can't we only make it for just a week as Bruce said above.

Because we do not experiment on a live server. If the players can not wait for the scripters to develop the solution then they can switch off their minimaps and play like that.
It has exactly the same effect.

Ask the 8 men surrounding me yesterday how I solve it. Hint: the cops that arrived twice left without interrupting and no money changed hands, nor was any violence used.
Some peole will run to the cops, just like they will in real life. Why are you so unwilling to give up in that case? Seems you have an issue in forcing roleplay on others, which is disallowed.

Bro, they left cuz you were there, dont you get it..

He wasn't on a known account at the time.

Alright, I failed, but still, we do not need to experiment, set it up, players want this, why cant you listen to them??

Because I am the owner.

[Johan_S]

Not all members of SA:MP division support this feature.

[Teddy]

Because I am the owner.

That's a very sensible argument.

[Salmonella]

What do you expect when all he's facing is the almost complete absense of common sense in this topic and a bunch of provocations being thrown around, though?

[KelviNC]

Because I am the owner.

Don't want to provoke you for any reason just want to lay out on it. You're an owner because of us. No owner can make his company work without his employees. Before he takes a step for his company, he'll take suggestions from his employees and will not work alone instead because he's the owner.

[Gandalf]

That's a very sensible argument.

It is indeed.
As you know we are not doing things just because players request it. If we did that Argonath would not have survived this long.
Within the two threads a suggestion has been made that if possible to realise is a workable one for all. It gives the possibility of needing to rely on game view close by while allowing players to locate where a group of players might be as well.
If players are so impatient they can switch off the minimap and have the same as they wish to test out.
Just like people who wish to play without metagaming or powergaming can do that.
The argument for that is simple. If players feel it will help their roleplay, they can play that way without it needing any adhustment from our side.
If they feel that it is needed to disadvantage others in their favour, it is not a good idea to begin with.

Gandalf has let most of the things that gone in to RS5 pass through, if he says no on one or two things, that's his right. He still pays for all of this and this is how a lot of community's work. Sure, sometimes we don't like it, but he is still the owner.

You got a lot to learn about how the world works.
Try to tell this at your real life job or at school.
