Guild Wars 2

The guardian aegis icon is ruining some of the awesome shield skins when drawn. Please remove it. It serves no purpose.

While I admit the aegis icon ruins a lot of shields and should be changed, it definitely has a purpose.
In PvP/WvW it shows players when their opponent has aegis on them, if they can’t see aegis they might waste a valuable attack/skill.

Possible fixes:
-Make Aegis invisible in PvE. (though the problem will still persist in pvp so this may
not be the best solution out there)
-Toggle ‘Hide Aegis on self’ (this feature would make aegis invisible for you alone,
other people can still see it so balance is not affected)
-Alternate means of detecting aegis on enemy players in pvp (though I can’t think of
any right now)
