Guild Wars 2

I think I already saw a forum post with ideas for this, but as I cannot find it with the search option I thought I just drop another suggestion right here.

Next to the increase in guild options that I think where already considered and coming I also think a commander needs a few more options. It costs a bucket of money to acquire a commander book so a little more perfection to its system cant hurt.

Its already a nice feature but as they are being used in pve as well for several reasons and apparently people complain a lot at commanders and their icons. I suggest adding at least the option to put off the commander icon without disbanding the whole squad.

This way in PVE you could run an event with your guild if you wish as I have seen posted in another topic, and wont be bothered with whispers from people bothering the commanders that they have to be in WVW 24/7 just because they have a commander title. You can just invite the guildmates and perhaps some other that are willing to participate in the event (look at the lost shores events, I enjoyed the big squads and tbh found the icons usefull as to where the event was at that point) and have a big party/squad during the event.

Also named was the chat type, and if you are running with full guild just using guild chat would suffice I guess, but in the other topic it was mentioned that toggling return chat on and off would be usefull for a commander.

Perhaps changing color on Icon would also be usefull, like giving a red or green icon for when you are working in pve on events and stuff, and remain blue for in wvw?

No doubt people have more ideas and think some of the ideas might be useless, but I guess throwing everything in here that comes to mind might be usefull to making commanders live a bit easier rather than making him look like someone with a big EGO. Most of them are no doubt just trying to help the server/guilds or guild (they are in).

I can imagine the pain in the **** for them, but ofcourse (lets be fair) this is mainly self interest as I’ve been chosen as guild commander and I wouldnt mind working with small squads first without a visible icon hovering over me and with that ruining the tactics in WVW for the rest of the server :P No doubt enemy servers would love the chaos that follows when Im running a squad into their fortified keep defenses getting everyone killed! :o
