Guild Wars 2

Atm Commander Tag is just prestige. I want it to be well earned with enough experience within wvw. Not given to a noob for 100G which he/she farmed in CoF for 1 week. This is stupid. I do NOT want to run under a person who just became a commander and thought he could run a entire server the first day at school. I am not happy.

U mad bro?

Yes. I am very mad. But I am also realistic. A commander tag should be earned through wvw experience.

Commander tags are used in PvE as well.

People (at least on my server) understands quite fast if the guy with the tag have a clue or not. If he doesn’t, people won’t follow him. Simple as that.

Brings back the argument if that people should have a tag at all? Right?

Understood, but it should be replaced by a “Guild Tag” instead to not be confused.

Why?
If they want to help the economy by removing 100g from the game they are free to do so .

Dude, this is bigger than the game’s economy. This is human feelings.

I don’t mind a new commander displaying their tag if they’re actively trying to command (or learn to).

but I do expect commanders to comply with a few simple rules:

1. turn off your tag if a more experienced commander requests it — too many tags on the map can be detrimental if pugs don’t end up where they’re needed.

2. turn off your tag if you’re not doing something that actually requires people to be able to find you (i.e. turn it off if all you’re doing is killing centaurs or skritt in a borderland).

the fact that you spent 100g to get a commander tag is not a good justification for having it turned on at stupid times.

what’s worse than bad commanders? random people complaining about it. like it should require some 6 year military service to acquire when half the time these people can’t/wont follow what a decent commanders ask them to do anyway. there should be requirements for these people just to follow a commander or play wvw and (imho) give the option to kick those who don’t do what you ask them to do.

hows about a little devils advocate for ya? obviously there are people who are detrimental to a server, but hearing people whine about it is annoying too. find the original “commander tag sux” thread and complain there. they’re working on changes, give constructive feedback there.

A commander tag is earned. We all know PvE commanders, LA commanders and troll commanders. None of them have the recognition that hard-working WvW commanders have.

The Tag isn’t “earned,” per se.
Followers are.

What people need to realize is that to be a good commander, you need experience. There’s no way around it.

No tag on the map? Turn yours on and communicate.
Have the tag, but another commander is there? Watch him/her and learn.

Talk to commanders, let them teach you.

And if you are a new commander and someone whines? Ignore them. They are bad.
