Right now every time I go to wvw it’s always empty (not the wvw, the lfg). In other words, nobody’s ever LFGing. So:

- Make the popup instead list all OPEN squads. That would actually make it useful, instead of having to open the map and mousing for the tag manually.

- Bonus points if you can make parties be open / closed and doing a similar thing there for wvw.

- Have an option to have the LFG window opened but “minimized”/anchored, so you can actually play while you lurk the LFG (that’s not just for WvW, but mostly fractals/dungeons probably, however it could make commanders more willing to LFG)

- Even more bonus points and 5 internets if you can streamline the squads:

  • making an option for “lobby” subsquad where people who join are put to be sorted by the commander/lieutenants (yeah you can use subsquad 1 for it, but it’d be great if you can actually designate a subsquad of entry, instead of having to move everyone else away)
  • making an option to have your subsquad members highlighted or a hybrid display, where you have your subsquad in bar form, but the rest of the squad as grid
  • giving your subsquadders’ nameplates different color in the world ui, since everyone is blue it’s hard to tell who actually is your subsquaddie so you can stay close enough for 600 range buffs in a blob squish.
  • make it so that the context menu doesn’t move when the person’s icon in the grid moves, resulting in accidentally friending / unfriending / blocking / kicking / whatever whenever someone joins or switches subsquads at the very exact moment.

ugh, frankly it would be nice to have it not be there at all. For new people maybe it might be handy if it was actually used. But for the most part it’s just a spot on the screen that gets in the way for a couple seconds. Not a real big deal.
