Guild Wars 2

I’ve been finding it difficult to keep track of players during large events and busy areas.
Party members will start following other players by accident and then chat/teamspeak is flooded with, “Where did you guys go?”

I find myself constantly watching the minimap instead of the action, always having to make someone else the party leader so they can use the call target function to mark my character so people stick closer to me, which then makes me unable to call an actual target.

I play with some new to MMO players and having the ability to assign an icon over players heads would make my time (and likely others) in Guild Wars 2 easier and more enjoyable.

So I propose a function added to the party management such as:
-Right click portrait
-Select “Party Icon”
-Choose from 2 or 3 icons, such as a diamond, circle, star, or flag.

Something not too large that it disrupts the players vision, and bright enough to be noticeable during a heated fight with lots of effects happening. So not the blue that party members already are.

Thanks

P.S.
On a side note, being able to change text color and size (independent of the overlay size) would be fantastic. I like to have bright larger guild text in other games so it sticks out more than the small darker trade/world/whatever chat, but don’t like to completely disable those either.
