Guild Wars 2

slash the price. think about it, if it becomes so cheap that everyone has one, then the prestige value goes away, and the only people who want to command would use them

Preferably, remove the price entirely and make it require something relevant to WvW. That way it can remain prestigious because those that have it have actually done something to show they might deserve it.

Except for the fact that people will still buy it just to have it because they can. At 100 gold it requires a significant investment for a single person so more realistically it’s a goal for a group of people (most likely a guild) to promote one of its members that everyone feels could take on the responsibility of being a commander.

I’m of the opinion that anyone with the commander tag should be subject to review from people of that server with strict limitations such as to not abuse this power. Things like people who have spent the most time in a specific commanders squad could submit a review with the consequence that the commander might have his status suspended or removed with enough negative feedback.

Though this will most likely not be implemented because it will not be implemented correctly enough to work without griefers.

I have an easy solution for it..

option to turn it off.

And that’s it. Allow players to turn off the commander pin while still retaining the ability to form a squad. You still get a private chat channel, waypoints all groups can see and /supplyinfo without interfering with other commanders who DO want to lead.

In fact ANYONE should be able to make a private squad, but you have to pay to have the commander pin visible to all allies. (like it currently is).
