Guild Wars 2

Commander Tag for 100 Gold is expensive yet no skills learned but “You are a Commander” when you turn it on. I was thinking, should we get more than this? maybe like a passive skill(s) when we turn it On or Off or maybe a buff to everyone whoever is following the commander or whoever is close to a commander? Make it more tougher to kill than a normal player because it’s a commander. When I hear the word Commander all I can think is “Do not mess with him/her! the rank is a Commander”. I understand that the higher rank you have in WvW the more skills you can build but should there be a separate build for commanders? Players who are aiming for the (Blue Doritos) takes about 3-4 months and when they achieve that they get nothing but “You are a Commander”. It bothers me that a lot of commander don’t want to sigil up because they’re scared that no one will follow them.

Is it a good idea to have a Commander skills or keep it this way?

at least a couple gold to buy a Commander skills maybe?

PS: to all Commanders, please do not hesitate to Sigil up! it’s better to have a small Zerg than let pugs scattered and lost.

What does need changing for the commander tag is the option to make it private and have it display different colours to differentiate. Buffs for commanders or for people around the commander are a bad idea.

The way of procuring the item should change indeed.
Months ago I suggested it be done with badges. The wannabe commander could buy an npc and people could donate badges to that npc so the wannabe commander can buy his icon with the badges. A reasonable price for the icon should be somewhere around 10k badges. This would still not guarantee that a commander is good but it does show that he has some support from WvW players and if he has 10k badges on his own (not that unlikely) it shows that he actually plays WvW.

P.S. don’t be afraid of messing with commanders

I must disagree with adding extra bonuses for wearing the tag as this would encourage min maxers to buy them and an increase in them as a whole, which gets cluttered.

Although I do believe that commanders should have more options within thier tag, such as visible to guild only, squad only, or the entire friendly map. They should also have many more options available to the squad function, such as a team setup menu, to put players in teams, see thier names and professions etc. There are many options to explore in a squad menu and I hope they recognize the potential of it.

I guess it is really a bad idea. I had a bad feeling of it as well. Well I guess I’m gonna have to go to plan B. Lol
