3 scenarios:

1) I’m trying to group up with some friends, right click their names only give the option to invite them. If I’m not the first I get the error " they’re already in a party".
FIX: if you invite someone to a party, and they’re already in a party, instead, turn it into a join request. (same for squads)

2) I’m in a squad/party and map travel to their map. I often end up on a different instance, and have to join on their instance manually. There is no indication the map was full, or even highly populated.
FIX: if the map isn’t 150 capped, map travel should always include the right instance.

3) I’m in WvW, or a big world-event, and there’s many commanders. I have to open the world map, target the commander, and click “join squad”. Similar problem persists when the commander is gathering a large flock of followers and it’s very hard to target the commander individually
FIX: allow to join squads by clicking on their minimap markers as well, or to create an interface with all active squads (like you have in WvW)

I have to agree these would all be pretty awesome, one and three especially. Idk if the benefit would justify the time it would take to implement, mostly bc Idk how hard these things would be to implement, but if there were no associated cost these would all be pretty great . . .

If the tag sets squad option to “allow members to invite” you could join by right click names/portraits of any member to get in. Or a /squadjoin name.

Yea, /squadjoin is the only reliable mechanic at the moment.
But have tried joining Jinnïæ Æethœlwolff squads?

I would definitely find number 2 useful, anytime I join a squad on LFG then travel to their map I’m always in a different instance and have to then join the right one manually. And as I’ve had to move the game off my SSD loading times aren’t exactly lightspeed anymore, so cutting out having to go through an extra loading screen would be nice.
