Guild Wars 2

I was just having a discussion in the WvW boards and a thought occured to me.

One of the purposes of Three Faction PvP is supposed to make it so that things stay more or less balanced, since if one Faction gets too powerful, the other two are supposed to gang up on the winning Faction to bring them back down. More often than not, though, this doesn’t happen and the winning faction just gets further and further ahead while the 1st and 2nd place factions pick on the third for easy points.

I think one way of alleviating this would be to open up a line of communication with the other servers in order to plot against against each other.

Hence, having a specialized chat channel specifically for those with the Commander title. First, this would allow communication with the other servers so that they can actually plan and coordinate attacks against the bigger enemy. Second, it gives another function to the Commander title, making it more worthwhile.

It also opens the door for all sorts of backdoor politicking and subterfuge, adding another layer to WvW.

Names could still be kept anonymous. Just censor the name to ‘Tarnished Coast Commander 1’ or ‘Crystal Desert Commander 3’ or some such.

Thoughts?
