@SilverBride no it shows you every time you port without being at a wayshrine.

It only showed me once yesterday and I port around all the time instead of running to a wayshrine. I'll see what happens today.

It's not that invasive honestly, but then again I don't port around for gold that much (I'm a cheapskate).

The change to mount categories, the exorbitant amount of quest marker info and the repositioning of the "(M) show on map" button clutter up the menu much more.

Well, the wayshrine text is irrelevant to me. That text could have been there since launch, for all I bother to actually read the text in the dialog. The only time I take interest in it is when E doesn't work. That is the only time it is actually on the screen long enough to read anything.

Mount categories in Collections. Yes, the old list that was based on species was a little confusing, especially if not sure which scientific-ish category something was in. This new list is simply too large, and in no apparent order. I think a lot of them could simply be put under "Special" and the categories cut in half.

Quest marker popup on map... Generally, I like it. At least for the single triangle for a single quest. Quest name, objective, and a prompt to click on it if it is not the active quest. I see nothing wrong with this and those are the three things I can see being important in that box. However, the markers over doors gets long when the quest log is full. There needs to be more focus on the UI design of the door markers. Maybe if the active quest uses the door, just list that quest and objective, but allow for all of the quests through the door in the focus popup. If the door is only used by inactive quests, maybe just list the quest names and skip the objectives.

Imagine if they re-categorized the non-combat pets by species (chicken, mudcrab, pony, etc.).

I would literally go insane!
