I like to play WvW, but the way it handles parties, or how you can interact with guild members or allied guilds, feels kind of lacking.

As it is now, it is hard to see on the map where the other parties you play with in your and your allied guilds are, only the one in your party is visible on the map.

Would it be possible to make some kind of feature where you:

1. First form different parties, and then group them together as one big group divided into smaller goups, so that your party will be blue, and the others for example red. And that also gamers not in a group would be able to join the grouped groups.

2. Have a commander icon that is only vissible for your guild (and if possible allied guilds). Often there are no reason to pull a huge zerg that often happens around those with a commandor icon, and having an own icon that is distinct from the other commanders makes it easier to follow your own commander.

I could not agree more, those are excelent ideas that would improve the gameplay without causing any harm to the game.

Also i dont understand why cant we make group invites inside WvW from guild menu. Besides, its not possible to kick anyone from a group to replace with another member. Often it is necessary to disband the party and invite the same group members again just because one guy forgets to leave group before dc. The need to type the player name to invite him to the party feels sometimes like a waste of time in the middle of a WvW battle.

Group forming and raid management should be greatly increased in WvW.

Good idea as well, i thought about it recently and it came to my mind that I`d like to see scheme similar to MAG or as you just explained. Try to explain it briefly:
5 people = 1 group with 1 leader
4 groups = 1 squad with 1 leader being a leader of a group
2 squads = 1 platoon with 1 leader being a leader of a squad
(sorry about the names if something is bigger than the other)
platoon leader gives commands to his group and squad leaders, squad leaders give orders to their groups and other group leaders under their command. Not the ideal way of course, just a raw thought, but I hope you understood what I`ve meant=)
