Guild Wars 2

I’m fully aware the hype will die down in a couple weeks and really, for now, the clutter is largely a PvE problem. You no longer see information in map chat like “champ/champ train/ori/ancient node on my tag” when there are numerous other people tagged up for no real reason.

If you implemented a charge of 1 gold or 1~2 guild merit points every time someone tags up outside of WvW and EotM, so that guilds can still use tags to find bounties and lead rushes and whatever in PvE, it would deter people from cluttering up the minimap. Sure, people won’t tag up anymore just to show you where an ori node is, but they can always just ping the nearest waypoint and write a short description the way we’ve been doing it since before the commander tag hype.

After all ANet is always looking for goldsink avenues… this could be a good one.
