Pinging system

[Gnasty]

I've been playing FPS games for very long and if there is something that I think MMOs should also have is a great pinging system for party members. Two things I can come up with that really would come in handy:

- Ping areas on minimap or in-world to give party info like "let's go here" etc...
- Ping floor loot so party sees exactly where a certain item is

There could even be a ping wheel if you hold your ping key so you have ready-to-use dialogs like "let's go here", "let's attack here". You know what I mean.

What do y'all think?

Simple proof-of-concept:

Party and also group (e.g in AA/etc).

PVP areas especially needs fast information sharing/reaction, by time you are done typing message its often too late already lol

I like the idea. Also a way to share map locations with each other even if you're not in the same map at the time.

This actually sounds good. 
As @Sneauxmentioned it would be nice to even share your map location with someone on another map or something like that.

That would be nice!

Could we maybe integrate the suggested pinging feature with this: 

and make it more rich (different types of pinging like 'Let's go here', 'Fight here', 'Avoid this', 'Help' etc.)?

Yes, these should definitely go hand in hand!

Would be nice to have this sort of waypoint feature in the game. +1
