Guild Wars 2

Allow me to say that I am not a true blue WvW player, I go into from time to time (if the qeue let’s me :p) so I am no expert when it comes to strategic playstyles with the commander, but judging from the times I spend following one it came to my attention how…it really isnt that usefull at all.

Most good strategic guilds use chatrooms with mic-support when it comes to strategy, for fast and good co-ordination and what allows you to have much bigger parties (they just stay together and use their voices for the strats) making the whole raid system it provides (witch is just a meager 30 people at one time…this should really be upped) not that usefull.

Yes, the commander tome gives you the ability to be shown on the map by a blue icon, and yes you can issue orders by placing markers…but both dont provide any incentive for random allies our guilds to follow said commander.

Perhaps this could be solved by giving anyone near the commander a decent boost to finding good loot when killing enemy server players (if this boost applied to the mobs..it could be used to farm…negating the whole teamplay aspect :p)

The same can be applied to the markers, ofcourse making those grant a higher boost to finding good loot, otherwise people would rarely stray from the commanders side.

Now as I stated, I am not a WvW expert, but I think this would make the commander tome be far more valuable to have. The players can follow the commander and it’s orders in exchange for better loot and guilds can use the tome for grand battles, knowing that they will always have the manpower.

What are your idea’s for this Tome? Do you see any negatives sides to this which I missed? Be sure to discuss.
