Guild Wars 2

Instead of a Commander wandering around in an area randomly adding people by clicking their names and inviting them, maybe give them an AOE spell that they channel. It would create a colored ring around the commander who is channeling it, and the players who step within that ring and stay there when the channel spell ends will get an invite. This would make it much easier to advertise that you are looking for people to join your squad as well.

The Commander could vocalize something like “Join me, brothers!”, “Let’s form up!” or a similar phrase. Overall I just think this would be a much easier way for Commanders to quickly form Squads in times where it’s needed, like in WvWvW.

Better IDEA:

Commander can do an AOE temporary army, and MAKE players get into formation…

You would temporairly lose control of your character while the commander moves your character into the battle formation he wants.

Once he moved all the players into the formation he wants then you would regain control of your character.

YOU WOULD BE A SOLDIER!!!
