Guild Wars 2

When viewing PvP battles through spectator mode or even as a player, it is difficult to see how many and which buffs a player has. It would be helpful to increase or decrease a graphical glow based on the amount of buffs a player has, and list, but remove the animations to remove clutter.

I don’t see a negative effect to this change, as no matter what buffs/conditions a player has, there isn’t a skill in the game that targets specific ones, so all a player can do is either wait it out, or steal/cure them without discrimination.

This change would help players know when to use their buff stealing abilities, and when to avoid or attack a player better. It would also make it more enjoyable to watch, instead of trying to decipher each buff animation and what it means.

I hope this idea helps a bit.
