Guild Wars 2

to be able to temporarily transfer tags to another player to allow a player to easily transfer tagging to another player who is better suited for commanding but did not have the gold needed to obtain a tag. And as another usage, it would be to allow continued commanding in wvw if the commander is about to log off and no one else around with a tag.
players would also not feel like they need to get a commander tag unless they commanded very frequently.

I can’t think of a situation in which someone has proven themselves “better suited” to lead and cannot meet the relatively low entry price for the tag. If someone commands effectively, then folks will be happy to support them getting a tag by sending them gold.

Furthermore, in some events i’ve seen you notice multiple ppl able to use their commander tag (if you know their names) but choose not to at that moment because someone is already ‘tag’ on a train or sumething…

We really don’t need even more “commanders” at this point in time. There are plenty to go around. As for transferring it to another player, then why spend gold on it in the first place if you’re gonna give it to randoms ?

someone who knows a particular or new content better than someone who has a tag but doesn’t want to use the tag because this person can’t really use the tag effectively. this person may only have the tag because he/she is better at farming or other content or obtaining gold.

there won’t be more. probably less because people can just give a temp transfer to another player.

If one was that experienced to have a tag “transfered” to them in wvw, they would already know 80% of players there can already tag-up themselves if a tag was so really that needed at any given point in time. Never seen a commander zerg there? it’s so funny haha!

Yeah, even after increasing the price, it’s still easy to get. Had mine first month after launch. Some people rather just spend the gold on something else, like quaggan mail carriers etc.

I understand why people with a tag might not want to use it. What I don’t understand is how it comes to pass that someone who is willing to use a tag and has “proven themselves” capable needs this feature. If they are willing and able, then they will be able to afford their own tag, often with help from guildies or fellow denizens of WvW matches.

Otherwise, either they haven’t “proven themselves” or they aren’t willing, except as a one-off. And if all we’re talking about is a once-in-a-while situation, then I think there are lots of other changes worth implementing first, i.e. those that benefit more people for longer periods in more situations.

I would love to see something that could justify getting one, especially for pve. I have plenty of badges of honor so it would just be the ~30$ for the gold.
