Guild Wars 2

This is a suggestion for a new WvW tag. Currently we have the Commander tag. I think this works well as a tool. You log into WvW and you have someone to follow most of the time. However you can only really have one (maybe two) Commander(s) active at a time.
That is why I suggest a Captain tag. This would cost 50-75g. It would appear on the WvW map. Whereas the Commander tag is a very noticeable blue tag, the Captain tag would be smaller and perhaps a different colour (red). Enough so that it is noticeable but not at all overwhelming if there are 3 or 4 on there.
This means that Captains could lead smaller sub-groups in WvW which players can see on the map and Commanders can organise and follow as the lead the masses.
I think one of the biggest pros of this idea is that it would encourage splitting up the famed zerg. Most people zerg because it is the only really organised aspect to WvW, with the alternative being roaming. A Captain tag would permit smaller groups (of say 1-15) to actively organise and achieve goals and encourage people to have an impact on a map away from the zerg train.
The price would need to stay high because obviously you don’t want everyone grabbing a tag. Additionally I would suggest that there is a 5-man limit per team per map of showing said tag (just to stop there being a million tags up at once).
The way I envisioned it is with one or two Commander tags up and then each Commander having sub-teams led by Captain tags.

This is all just an idea I have been playing around with in my head and felt like posting. I’m very interested to see peoples views/thoughts on the idea, especially as it might help solve a few of the issues surrounding WvW at the moment.

/also add more maps please thanks.

We just had a huge discussion on this in the WvW forum.

Here is a list of all the CDI we have had: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Collaborative-Development-Master-Sticky
