Guild Wars 2

We are a small guild but we like wvw. Apart from the queues and the near impossibility to get in with a steady party (but we consider moving to a lower pop server), it’s actually a pity we can only have 5 people in a party and that’s it. It’s either 5 people, or a zerg.
Getting 100 gold together to get a massive icon above your head, thus drawing clueless zergs, is not exactly what we consider a bright idea for guerilla pvp either. We can’t find our own guild members (who maybe are in other parties) on the map though. Would it be hard to implement some sort of guild guerilla squad? Consisting of, for instance, 20 people max. and no markers above anyone’s head?

I was having a similar conversation with a work colleague today as we are in the same guild. We found the limit of 5 was fine for the hit n run stuff we were doing but for organising a tower or keep assault it was more of a handicap. We’re having to run separate groups of 5 and co-ord on the guild voice chat.

Keeping in with ANets idea of paying for the commander icon why not have a series of ‘ranks’ available for a price that allow for larger party sizes? For example, pay xx silver and buy the rank of lieutenant allowing a group of 7. Pay xxx silver for the rank of Captain and have a party of 10. These would be aimed at guilds and so only those in your guild would see the icon, otherwise the map would be full of icons running around.
