Friendly Nameplate Markers for Arena, Battlegrounds & Open World
MatesMarkers adds clean, customizable markers to friendly player nameplates so you can instantly recognize your mates in arenas, battlegrounds and open world PvP.
It is built for players who want better teammate visibility without turning their UI into clutter. Whether you are playing Arena, Solo Shuffle, Battlegrounds, Rated Battlegrounds or world PvP, MatesMarkers helps you keep track of friendly players faster.
What it does
MatesMarkers places a visible marker on supported friendly nameplates. You can customize the marker style, size, position, class coloring and optional class/spec overlay icon.
