How would they “take action”? Nothing that those players are doing is “wrong”, as such, it’s just pointless and visually noisy. There’s nothing they can really do.
Hopefully, people will get bored and turn their tags off pretty quickly, otherwise you’ll have to follow the one guy who doesn’t have a tag.
It doesn’t bother me, honestly. This was a group joke where 3 people had tags up accidentally, one tagged down, then someone said “everyone tag up!” so we all did and moved together as one giant commander, it was actually hilarious :P. So just to be clear I wasn’t complaining about it, I just wanted to share the picture because I found it very funny.
But yeah no, everyone has tags now, I really hope 15 people tagging at the same time is funny for a few weeks then people stop doing it, otherwise it’s going to suck having 938792372837 commanders everywhere you go.
I don’t see it being much of an issue. Sure there are more tags in pve. But I find that in wvw the agreement for one tag per map usually wins out (least on my server) I look forward to seeing how things play out when the changes hit.

The commander tag issue in PvE is a fiasco. I have counted as many as 42 tags on some maps.
Apart from the visual pollution, which will only get worse once the coloured tags kick in, all these so called commanders think they can command!
Map chat is now flooded with ‘commands’ from these tags who know nothing about the events. A guildie took a screenshot of one these commanders admitting in map chat to not even knowing what time the event started that he/she was tagged up for…

I have posted an answer to that many times in the other threads on this topic.
Graphics Options> Commander Tags:
1. Display Commander Tags for my server
2. Display Commander Tags for my guild
3. Do not display Commander Tags
Left unchecked all Commander Tags would be displayed.
After we get the colored tags someone needs to organize and create commander tag pixel art on the map

To be honest, I think some of you guys are worrying too much
I doubt this trend will last, people are just having a bit of good natured fun with their brand new dorito. Just give it a bit of time.
By the way, maybe I’m the exception buy I have yet to see such high concentrations of commanders… After the announcement, at most I’ve seen 2 or 3 doritos in the same map, and it din’t usually last long (so I assume people were just testing their tag).
Once I did see like 6 doritos in a map/situation that hardly required any, but it was before the announcement, so…

No one is worrying to much guy, it’s blight on my screen, right now. Blight. It uglifies the game. Blight. On my screen. What does that have to do with this faked up “worry”?
I understand your grievance with your screen being a blight, what I’m saying is: I doubt this sort of behavior will last, so I don’t see the point in getting upset for what is most likely a just a fad.
Yesterday I saw someone asking in map chat
“How do I turn Commander on?”
Poor guys in WvW
To be fair, it’s actually not obvious to people who don’t know how. It’s trivial to know how to do it once you’ve done it, of course. But it’s hidden in the create party pop-out window that most people don’t even use to form parties, which is not really a logical place to stick it. Even then, it doesn’t explicitly say “turn commander tag on”, or anything like that.
It’s just another way that the UI fails to support commander and squad functionality.
HEY GUIZ, I got a commander dorito a week ago. I’m saving the tome for tuesday and then I’m going to start leveling a Guardian from level 2 in WvW (or EotM).
Yeah, been seeing a lot more tags on in PvE then ever before. I just find it silly. However in WvW, there is still only a few. With the different commanders doing different things, one havoc tag, another defense tag, and a large zerg tag. Yeah it’ll fade after the 9th, when people get bored of just staying tagged up and go back to normal.

The player limit on any one instance of a map is 125. Perhaps a small redesign could work, though I still am not sure if you’d get everyone into the same insatnce easily.

This is not accurate… It’s more than 125. We’ve gotten more than 150 on a Bloodtide Coast map more than once for Wurm.

I bought mine just to avoid the extra cost in the future should I ever think I would need it. I have yet to use it. We have some pretty good commanders in DR and I am very content to follow them. Maybe as confidence grows I will use mine someday.
Maps should have a commander tag cap. 6…9 for PvE depending on map size, 1 per capturable location + 9 for WvW.
This cap would be player-side. Nothing would prevent a commander from creating a squad, but players would only see tags up to the cap.
Blocking a commander should also hide their tag.
Blocking commanders would bring forward tags that were hidden because of the cap as blocked tags do not count for the cap anymore.
Guilds should be able to set private commanders only guild members can see. Guild tags would not be affected by the cap.
Tags from friends would have priority showing up before others.
This allows hiding tags of commanders you don’t want to see until the ones want to see shows up, and making sure friends and guildies show up always.
Commanders should have a ranking system with separate ranking for PvE and WvW.
Commanders that are blocked by less people less often and participate in more successful group events while having 5 or more players in their squad would have a higher ranking, and have priority showing their tags over commanders with less rank when the cap is reached for PUG-squads.
