Guild Wars 2

I’m curious how multiple groups and guilds can coordinate effectively in game without any effective grouping systems? Many of the bounty missions require more than a group (5 people) to complete. There is actually no way for more than 5 people to group except for the commander and squad system, which is ineffective for guild missions and some specific WvW content. Even if you try and use the commander and squad system for guild missions, you still can’t see where the guild members are located in a zone, as only people in your group show a unique color. Using the C&S system also invites every single player in the zone to join your guild event.

Would it be to hard to have a couple of modifications to the C&S system?

1: Unique colored dots for everyone currently in a squad, visible in all zones.
2: Ability to “Hide” the commander pin from allies, but anyone currently in the squad still sees it. Basically it would become a private squad.

The lack of in game grouping systems and customization for guild or private events is really noticable now since guild missions have been implemented. Having to use 3rd party voice programs is not a great option, but the only one we have.
