any plans for poi piles?

LoL:

Any shot at merging all those into 1 big "dock" poi? Any plans on how to stop this from happening in the future, as more and more people submit pois?

Hopefully the POI filtering feature that might be coming will address that issue. That's why I haven't been deleting those 'overlapping' cluster POIs.

but those are all the same thing, NPCs, the new filtering thingy will help that?

I don't believe there is any way to prevent this from happening. When it does happen, though, we can go in and manually put them all into one POI that lists those different NPC names.
I've been thinking long and hard lately about dealing with dupes and clustering and can not decide on any good solution that doesn't have side effects just as bad, if not worse, than the original problem.

Maybe make a new PoI Category?

Multiple NPC's.

Then List all NPC's in close proximity to that location in the new Category?

Just a thought.

eventually (like a month or 2 at least) i may make a thing for the website that automaticly puts multiple things of the same type that are close together all in the same POI on the map, however dont plan on this happening any time soon (if it does happen)
