Why isn't there a minimap option?

I've just rejoined ESO after about a year, why is there still not the option to have a minimap??? For an MMORPG, it seems like a step back not to have one, because its easier to see friends, NPC traders and services and a multitude of other stuff with a minimap. Sure, lots of people may not like to have one, but I think it would be great to have that option... especially as the minimap mod by Fyrakin no longer works correctly in some zones!

    because they wanted to break away from the standard MMO look and work on having something which was less UI invasive and more like Skyrim.

    It's been hit and miss in different areas.

    Use an addon, that's the best way, have a look for one here:

    I use AUI's minimap. Works great. Only part of that addon I use.
    Make PC NA raiding great again!

    I agree with the less invasive more like Skyrim thing, but for an MMO it makes it less functional... I remember having to hunt around for the vendors and services and stuff and having to memorise where they all are... with a minimap you don't have to do that. Skyrim it doesn't matter so much because there is no multiplayer.

    Press M, find what you want, press F over it, close map and follow the blue icon.

    This is what I do and it's become so fast and second nature to me now. Generally I find I learn locations any way, when I went back to SWTOR I wasn't really using the mini-map more than a compass of follow the yellow triangle at the edge to see which way, the compass in this game is the same feature.
