Basically what that forum entails is that as we all have noticed in our gameplay experiences, we are unable to target our own character, showing no name, showing no title of the Guild, showing no achievement title and most importantly not showing the achievement star for world completion.
What I would propose is simple:
Have the Left-Click interact with the character’s body on screen.
This enables to see the character’s Name, Guild Name, Titles and the achievement star Icon. Pretty much how anyone would see ‘You’ from a reasonable distance.
If the player so much as gets bored of seeing his/her title, simple clicking the Right-Click button away from the character’s body eliminating the presence of the Name, Guild Name, Titles etc, leaving the character in ‘Blank Status’ all over again.
While in combat, if the player accidently Left-Clicks his own character’s body (as we all know this happens all the time), simply using the ‘Tab’ button to target the mob/monster will place the Character back to ‘Blank Status’.
As we would expect, much of these functions require a fair mount of coding processes meaning more work for Anet. But what could be more satisfying than seeing your efforts and achievements right in front of your eyes, and therefore can express much pride in creating such a Character and having played such a fantastic game.
A little function that could be addressed, but not too importantly. Just a minor tweak in the game and hopefully making the customer’s feel all the more happier.

In GW1 you can map a key to self-target, which is incredibly useful for healers and support professions. It shouldn’t be too tricky to add this functionality to GW2, since both engines share a couple of basics.
