If you were standing right next to each other, are you sure your icons weren't overlapping? I believe your red arrow will show on top of your groupmates' icons when you're that close together, so it might get difficult to distinguish them.

Silly question time: If you're standing so close to him, why would you need to see him on the map? SMILEY

I see,thanks.

But still have another question.Why I cannot find the guy in Search players window,I have choose the "all zones"option,but I didn't find the guy's name who has just stand in front of me.

Could anybody explain this situtation?

Spelling, linkdead whatever .. Also a really easy way to find someone from your group in the same zone is simply targetting them and turning around until you see their name highlighted in the horizon then run towards them . This is abit bugged in zones with big differences in hight but still an allround good way to find your direct running angle . theres also the /waypoint command . you can target your groupmembers there and get a glowing trail to them but thats seriously bugged hehe ..

Btw .. if youre on the persons ignore list im not sure he/she will show up on a search ..

Yours

Doesn't going anonymous also keep you from showing up on who lists?

nah you still show if someone searches for you specifically, but not in general searches like class etc. you also show up in a /who search of the zone you are in.
