Too often I create a waypoint, and highlight it on the map to do something on the way to my main mission, and WoW’s map system automatically changes it back to the main mission. I don’t want the map to change my waypoint highlights for me! I know darn well where I want to go, and why. Allow the player to select what waypoint that they want to highlight. I follow the yellow arrow on the mini map only to find out that I’m headed in the wrong direction because the stupid map system changed it away from what I selected.
I’ve never had this issue. Do you have any quest tracking addons that might be over writing the selection maybe?
I have an addon, but it’s only for adding icons to the minimap, such as where the dragon glyphs are. I came across another person’s complaint just now, dated last May, about their map pins being overridden and it wasn’t because of an addon.
Have you tried a full UI reset?
No. I’ll try that.
