Guild Wars 2

alright so i got an idea just now and i wanted to write a little about it before i forget.
not detailed or anything just an idea,

at the moment i’m trying to get money to become a commander for WvW, but the only thing a commander can do atm (that i know of, tell me if i’m wrong) is having a big sign above their head and can let people join their squad for squad chat, that’s not really alot you can do.

so what about things like this?:

a squad interface
so they can see who are following you and what their status is (maybe also a chat in that same interface, and maybe even a small world map where the commander can ping the location for everyone in the squad to see)

the option to turn the commander sign on and off
a commander doesnt really have a role at all in pve and when they are running around trough for example cursed shore there will still be people following him making small events impossible, so an option to turn the sign off would be great (maybe there is an option for that and i just didnt know that)

about the role for a commander in pve
like i said before: as commander they dont really have a role in pve.
so my thought on that is, wouldnt it be great for commanders to be able to let people join their squad for a dungeon that they can enter with around 20-25 people that is ofcourse made for that amount of people with a big chest at the end that will give you some nice stuff that you really earned for getting there. (and add a limit so it cant be farmed for the whole fricking day every day every week but make it a challenge and kick them out when they failed certain things too many times)

i really like the idea myself and i hope you guys do too.
i know that this would take alot of work and that certain things may be seen as unfair by other players that dont know any commanders or are not lvl 80 but to those people i have to say this:
if things like this would ever come in this game, don’t forget that you can also get to a higher lvl and that if you act more social you’ll find friends that can help and ask people questions to learn. not enough people act like this and just whine about things instead of finding a way to better their play style.

alright a little offtopic there i believe, srry for the amount of text, i hope you guys like the idea and that it will reach Anets eye, gamers need something to strive for and you don’t have to be extra soft to new or low lvl players, if they are low lvl they still have enough to explore, so more content for the high lvl players (looking forward to the major update <3)

ps: don’t pay too much attention to my grammar & chaotic writing

i was going to talk only about the dungeon idea but got carried away and fergot that i was on the dungeon forum and not on the suggestion forum, so i posted it also there.

You can turn the icon on and off.
You can organise squads for shared chat, not sure if you can ping squad-wide stuff one the map though – but you can ping a location onto the squad chat.

I see no way of how commanders can be useful in dungeons, so i guess this thread belongs to Suggestions, not here.

alright thanks for the info on turning it on and off, i ment an interface for the people in the squad with a small version of the map you’re in where the commander can draw and point out where he wants his squad to be.
the idea for the dungeon is that only a squad can enter such a dungeon so a commander is needed for that and would have a bigger role in the game.
sorry if that wasnt clear, ive already posted it on suggestions but because there is an idea for a dungeon in my post i didnt remove it.
