Display my own character name...
one sortof workaround is, when in party, have someone call target on you (ctrl click)
your name will be shown to you, with a great big target overhead (the downside) until someone calls target on someone else.
I understand where you are coming from, when I was a wow player many years ago I played with my name tag showing and then when I started this game 3 years ago at first I was a little uncomfortable not seeing it, however, trust me when I say, in time you will get used to it and will never want to see a name tag above your character again, I have gone a complete 180 and it would feel very odd to me and obtrusive if I had my name showing.
People have been asking for this for the last 3 years. I agree it would be nice to have this feature as I am too used to it from playing GW1. Maybe soon there wont be too many other priorities for this to be an excuse not to add it. Here’s hoping anyway.
