Now what do you think about the actual suggestion of this thread? hahaha do you see any ways to abuse it or any shortcomings of it?There are always ways to abuse things, but if it is being done in a good way then we may be able to pull it off without having too much downsides to it. :]

Well I think that if we want it to have any use in ganking then it should say where they go, and not just that they left pits, because if it just shows that somebody left pits every 1 minute or so then people will just start to ignore it, because that happens all the time, it's not even interesting unless you know that the person leaving pits either left to a red town, or is in an enemy guild so you can do guildwars on him, and even if he is you'd just be like "ah well, before I've checked up on all the blue spots he'll already be gone..", there for I think that we should show where they go as well.
I don't think that we should have it enabled for everybody, because if players do not want their location to show (and has no interest in knowing others locations either) then they shouldn't have to. There for I think that the on/off system would be good, since then players who likes to gank, and would risk getting ganked to be able to find a few more people to gank, can use it, but others whom have no interest in ganking whatsoever can stay away from it. I also think that we should have a timer on it so IF you enable it you won't be able to disable it again for 24 hours or something.
I think that the on/off system should be account-bound and players are not allowed to have more than one account, so that should most likely take care of that way to abuse it.
I think that we should only have this enabled while our client base is low, because when it gets bigger it will spam logs and annoy people, plus it isn't important at bigger more active shards with a lot of ganking going on.
I'm still not sure if players would like it or not, but if we follow those steps mentioned above then it should not annoy the players whom would dislike it, but it would most hopefully be a positive thing for the people whom are willing to risk showing their location when leaving pits, in order to be able to find other players when they want to gank :]
I think that we should try this out if the players would want it, after all there is no harm in trying it. If it turns out bad then we could just remove it, and if it turns out good then woho - good for us! - more ganking going on for the players wanting that - and it won't affect the players whom do not want that :]
That's what I think
