I believe there should be a way to communicate with other servers in WvW. And a lot player seem to like it, too. Posted already in another thread, being able to chat via Map channel would do more harm than any good.

Allowing the say-channel be unblocked between servers
could be a good middle-ground to please most players and allow for:
- Communicating temporary peace treaties between 2 dominated servers
- Spy meetings in WvW
- Personal duells
- RP
- Getting your name known (..for those with the need to…^^)
- “Flamer meetings”…oO^^

Griefing and annoying the whole chat channel is not possible and if someone wants to flame…its more face2face with possible “pvp retribution” afterwards.
If a player gets annoyed by flames, he can escape the griefing.

The generic nameplates-system should stay in place but be optional.
A lot like anonymity in pvp, especially newbies takeing first steps in WvW.
But a lot of veterans and dedicated players like to show-off and make them a name on the battlefield, too.
Thats why it should be optional for every player.

Actually the arguements seem to be split about the pro & cons between the Com.
Limiting inter-server-communication to the say chat could be a win-win for both “sides” on this matter.

Maybe make it optional,too, but there is also whole bunch of players who are for ways to be able to communicate, imo.
With option “Block WvW enemy say chat” by default, there would be no real harm.

Same goes with nameplates. You (and a lot others) might not want to show their name to the enemy…still, there are plenty players around threads who would actually like that.
Why not make it optional and let the player decide?
