They also swapped the positions of the armor repair vendor and the guild banker in Lowlands Keep. IMO such game-changing things should be on the patch notes.
There is another change that is not mentioned in the patch notes – You can’t mark the target when he is downed (not dead). Is it the intention or bug? I can’t think of any reason for this change.
I think this was one of the things Anet decided to do on their own (well I know there was 1 suggestion for it, but it wasn’t very popular). However, unlike all the other previous “we decided, we know best” changes, this one is actually pretty nice. I like.
Edit, after arKRazor’s post: I stand corrected then.
… Wait a minute. The thread “change * to grey color” is 1 YEAR old? Well here goes my positivity out of the window… sigh.

It was suggested multiple times, but it was usually mentioned in tandem with other changes or simply fell off the front page without sufficient fanfare.

One of that threads should be mine, because I remember suggesting this too. All that tag (red) names everywhere and you have no idea who is dead or alive (in WvW).
Finally! Was this hard to implement in some way? why so long time to do this?
I wondered so hard when i seen it i forgot to move and died
I hear a new battlecry in the wind: stack up and change their names to gray!
Btw good and important update! Next time pls change sieges to not damage through gates

Yeah we had asked for it several times from what I remember. It is absolutely nice for ZvZ, but even better for smaller teams that fighting outnumbered. So many times in the past we have seen pugs tuck tail and run even though some of the more experienced players knew they had lots of downed/dead. A sea of red names always looked the same dead or alive, and it was working in the favor of the larger team.

i’m pretty sure the vendors change position every time they spawn.

As you can see, a good number of the threads just died in obscurity in the now archived suggestion subforum.
Really makes you wonder if Anet reads forum posts like they say they do…….
My guess is that they do…At this point I envision them having a “whiteboard” (or some electronic equivalent) with ideas they have approved of from the forums/feedback, etc. And they implement those that make the most sense in terms of time, effectiveness, and overall risk/reward. I am sure a lot of the factors are manpower and time constraints, we all have heard the stories about how little WvW help they have.
I noticed the change in the colour of the names immediately when I went into wvw. I was very pleased to see that dead people have a different name colour. Makes things a LOT less confusing.

Inclined to agree with your assessment. The team, such as it is, must pick and choose their battles.
Hopefully the upcoming CDI will do a decent job of laying out what changes might be feasible in the short term.
The skins shouldve been something permamently added, something a WvW player could work for all the time. Throw in some new skins every once in a while along with QoL changes and bugfixes (like, exploits and such) and you’d make people a lot happier then anouncing the next Season.
And for big updates, new maps. Gets kinda boring playing the same two maps for two years.

Necros can use new healing skill to tag gates. Fortified gates melt in seconds. Bug fixed quickly.
Mesmers with damage from fall traited cause instadeath when jumping off walls. Bug fixed quickly.
Mesmers can blink through gates…………..takes months to fix.
Gari watergate inner didn’t upgrade like outer gate, also didn’t register swords when attacked……..takes months to fix
New map (EoTM), with new achievements associated with the map. Months to develop but how close are you to getting any “WvW” achievements?

I just wanted to let you know that “principle” probably was the correct term as it is always a noun meaning an accepted rule of conduct or action. “Principal” is an adjective and used to be superlative in describing a person such as the principal of a school. It means “most important or primary”.
Just wanted to clear that up.
Unless she wants to be the most important Q/A person then by all means.
