In a first person shooter game players could mark enemies by aiming at and pressing a key. The marked enemies appeared as orange map and on-screen symbols. This made it easy for team members to focus on them.

WvW could adopt this for scouting. This could be implemented as a ground targetted trick, sold by the Tricks and Traps vendors.

Scout Trick
Activation time: 1 s
Recharge time: 60 s
Range: 1200
Radius: 360
Number of targets: unlimited
Duration: 60 s
Cost: 10 silver
Report enemy players and siege to your team.

Scout aims the trick on group of enemies and siege.

Enemies will see red target circle during the trick activation.

Affected enemies are displayed as orange dots on map for all friendly players. Enemies in stealth are not displayed.

Siege weapons are displayed with distinct map symbols.

Map chat message is sent to all WvW maps when trick is successfully activated. Friendly units are not reported nor count toward success.
“12 green players, 2 blue players and 4 siege weapons scouted near [Stonemist Castle]”

Channeling the trick breaks stealth like deploying traps.

There is no debuff symbol on scouted enemy players. They don’t know they are being scouted except for the activation red circle.

i will definitely use any trap/trick magic potion that gives me the option to leave my claimed and upgraded tower to play the game when nothing is there .

baby sitting upgraded towers are very boring time in wvw . most of the times i am doing home work / watching movies / f.kitten my gf

now for this trick OP said , i will not have any idea how can be useful when most of enemies in home borders comes and goes all the time …. i prefer have scout trap not trick

so the trick would just place a orange simbol on detected siege or large group?

on siege is acceptable on large groups is useless, since wvw is a game of cap, leave and cap next, but yeah that woulod be fun for scouts and would give them a better/organized role, also a title of number of siege spoted for thos o care about titles…
