Firstly this topic is not a rant about bad commanders so id like to see no “whining” comments about other commanders. This is where we can talk about the qualities you want to see in a commander. help new/inexperienced commanders. in the long run i want this post to help the GW2 WvW community become more competitive and fun
For Example: As a commander i have found more ppl follow me and look up to me if i give them direction, reasoning for what i am doing, communication, Admitting when i have done something wrong and taking other ppls suggestions into account.

the other point i will bring up is commander to commander courtesy. the LAST thing that a follower wants to se is two commanders having a go at each other in map/team chat. if you disagree with another commander wisper him your consern in a nice manner.

if you have any quality to add or a positive comment to another commander please post!

Commander courtesy:

if you BL hop or log in and there is another commander somewhere it may be nice to ask them if they have a plan or stratergy happening. if you pop up your tag and run elsewhere you may draw the manpower needed from the other commander half way through his plan that may have worked if you hadnt stolen his followers.

you would be supprised how much this happens. For example:
A commander trebing the outer wall of SM and preparing a golem(with mesmer portal mobility) rush for inner gate. things are going slow but well and another commander jumps in and heds out to a small enemy zerg. shouts XXX server is wildcreek come here. some people leave and the attack on SM fails due to lack of man power.

as commanders our job is to get our + points up and hold them but let face it the ppl wana fight. they wont listen to your plan if there is a more interesting fight going on :P

Most important in my eyes would be: the simple ability to realize that none of us are perfect. That idea spouted by a total noob, for all we know, might save all of our
behinds.
Second to that, is we – as a server – should be a tad more polite/understanding. Yes, we’re horridly outnumbered, but seriously. No need to dirt-drag anyone through
the mud. Any commander – nay, player – what tries their utmost in Wv3 is hella
important. Especially given our numbers.
Third segues directly from Second: Seriously, enough in-fighting! We are – unless one
freely chooses, as others have, to transfer out – one force. Now, it seems to have mostly died down in the past week or so, but it’s something we should keep in mind.
We’ve had enough losses, and I do not for the life of me, know if these losses could
have been avoided with less playground drama.

TL;DR
As immortalized by Bill and Ted: “Be excellent to each other.”

Also remember that you purchase that commander tag probably for a reason to be a leader and not just a a zerg magnet. Good leaders don’t just bark orders and dismiss any request for some politeness as a “if you don’t like me, go follow someone else then or gl with that solo”. Not a very good response from someone who chose to be a leader.
And please at all times communicate the plan to players. Seasoned players will know how many players more or less you need for your next mission. We don’t need 15 people to take 2 camps and suffer the loss of another as a result of an expected zerg rush on a keep. Players can (and will) peel off and do some defence until such time as needed for an onslaught on keeps or SM.
