Gen. Grievous1138 (LOTR Mod Wiki Admin) comlink 19:51, June 26, 2017 (UTC) Not really imo... Logistically how would it work? Does a player simply press a button on the scout's GUI and the scout leave and block by block survey the surrounding area, reporting via chat if they find a player? That sounds extremely laggy, and unreasonably slow. Does the player's map loc only stay on if the player is in the scout's vicinity? If not, when does it turn off?

Another thing, I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that Mevans added the map loc as an option as much to prevent players from continuously harrasing and spawn-killing each other as to enable ambushes and suprise attacks. If there was actually a feasible way to implement this feature, it would have a similar effect to adding a way for players to get around banner protection.
