Guild Wars 2

The limitations GW2 puts on grouping is one of the only serious drawbacks of the game.

Squad Commanders should be a standard in built mechanic akin to Raids and Warbands from other MMOs. They should not require 100g per character.

Starting a squad should require a simple click in party options.

Squads should have two settings Public and Private.

Private Squads only show the squad commander icon in game and on the map for those in the squad.

Public Squads show the squad commander icon to everyone. To stop everyone having a icon, public squads require a private squad to reach 10-15 members before the option opens up.

This will allow actual leaders to easily start leading large groups and coordinating with others, as they’ll be the ones who will actually fill their private squads.

I kind of agree with this, but if they don’t do this they should at the very least make commanders not have their icon in pve areas and only in wvw. Seen my first commander the other day in lions arch and tbh it was nothing but a pain with his icon blocking stuff.

/agree I thought 100g was ridiculous and then I found out it is actually per toon! I’m not sure I understand the thinking behind making people pay up so much in game currency for something which is standard in other MMOs. I hope they take heed of Bear and other people’s suggestions and come up with a sane solution.
