I dont wanna be "invader" anymore (wvwvw)
I dont agree with the whispers between servers and this might be the reason they don’t show you the persons name but I would probably track down a person who ganked me for revenge purposes if I knew their name, which is the only reason I would want that…but at the same time less griefing is always a good thing…the color coding helps identify enemies over friendlies….so I say keep it the way it is

Why are you so pessimistic?
What about saying “GF” after fight, what about finding friends on enemy side ?
I could agree with replacing your ‘invader’ generic name with one of your achievements, or with a set list you can pick from or change by talking to an NPC and paying with some badges.
But what you are asking for will go against good parts of WvW’s design.
We should focus on the bad parts.

No. Period.
It ~ will ~ never ~ happen.
People will be tracked/hunted/griefed by name or armour dye set up. Which is EXACTLY what Anet does not want.
Why do you care how the enemy views you? Come on, say the truth :-) … YOU want to see people’s name/armour colour, for griefing. That’s the ONLY reason anyone would ever care about how the enemy see’s them.

agreed with this guy/gal
That would be the only reason most would want it.
Ha there’s a thread in the WvW section where the opinion is that enemy anonymity is stupid and pointless and I almost got flamed for expressing my opinion til I mentioned a compromise.
Though you can already find out their player name, as well as whisper, (I’ve had conversations with enemy players, including build conversations, congratulations, and duel setups) but it’s more difficult than a right click /whisper so it’s probably going a long way towards preventing any kind of trouble with it.
i think id see a lot more griefing in this game is i wasnt anonymous. i dont need virgin teens telling me about how they pwned my ranger with their thief keep it the way it is.

Oh that’s silly. I’m a lousy pvper who loses a 1v1 fight 9/10 times. But I think this would be great for competition. Knowing who your up against changes your play-style immensely, and that’s not a bad thing. I view pvp just like I view RL sports, and how many sports out there have the word “player” written on the back of their jerseys?
PvP is not PvE, it is a highly competitive form of gaming that mimicks RL sports in many ways(Esport?). “Griefing” really came about from open world PvP where PvEer’s had no choice on the matter and got ganked even if they hated PvP. And I solidly believe in keeping them separate. But having specific places for competition(PvP/W3) there’s no reason why you shouldn’t know who you are up against. I would say area chat and whispers is not a good idea at all given the personal nature of it and the spying factor, but simple names so you can identify other players you have rivalries with is fine.
Being singled out by a particular player would only make me want to get better and rise to his/her challenge, isn’t that what competition is all about? As it is now, everyone is just a faceless mob…almost like a PvE mob it seems. Where’s the fun in that?
I’m a 90% casual player atm, but even I don’t think “casual” and “pvp” should be in the same sentence. Thoughts?
p.s. ~and for those who say “just go do sPvP” that’s a decent point, but there’s little “epic” factor in arena PvP. I mean, one of the biggest selling points of W3 is its grand scale and potential for epic battles between armies of players(minus the bugs of course). Anyone else feel this way?

*add show/hide name button to the game
*allow whispers between servers
*remove red color from enemies armor
The show/hide button is not bad , let people pick what they want.
The whisper dont open it , it is better without people bothering each other with whispers , or like the above , add a yes/no button.
Dont remove color armor , we can see people much before we can see their name tags , again , could be added a yes/no thing so people can chose.
