Guild Wars 2

What do you guys think of having our rank visible to our own server players as well as enemies?

I’d really like to know other people’s ranks, especially when I’m running in a small group. Seeing which are Knights and which are Invaders would help me know whether I need to direct pugs to the next target, for instance, or if I can assume they’ll have the experience to know.

I would also like to see other peoples ranks, however because they are character bound they wouldn’t necessarily say anything about a players level of experience in WvW. For all you know that Assaulter is a Bronze Legend playing on his/her alt.

Yep, fairly pointless without account bound ranks. As a for instance, my total ranks are over 250 but my highest is 74, and one of my rangers that I used to main before ranks came out is rank 2!

They would’t say anything even if account bound. It barely gives an estimation of the time you spend in WvW, nothing more.

You bring up a good point. It wouldn’t really tell me if they were experienced with wvw, just if they were experienced with that character/profession (possibly.)

Hmm. I’d still like to see it, I suppose for curiosity, and it feels like something to show off if you’ve got a high rank.

They could make WvW rank unlock titles that could then be displayed on any character.

No thanks. It is just extra clutter on the screen that I do not need.

I would like something in the achievements panel like the titles area… Instead of Combat Healer, it could say Show WvW Rank, so instead it would show Soldier or Scout or Knight, as title. This is what I want to see

I think it would lead to too much drama and trouble for too little gain.

Do you know what we need???

Screw showing titles of enemies, give enemies a special aura based on what rank they are, which will reduce the clutter on the screen

since i dont know what most ranks are but example

1-10 – no aura since you are a noob
11-20 – blue
21-30 – green
high levels – gold, silver, bronze, diamond etc

similar to what Ragnarok online had but they only had an aura for max level chars

i have 7 toons and my highest title is scout, but my total overall rank is over 100, does that make me inexperienced?

I don’t think I’d like this just because there’s already enough colour and animations to see and recognize without making it busier. I know you say it’ll reduce clutter but I’m not sure how.

I thought of something similar. What if commander tags had more detail in them? For example, if you were in the Bronze ranks, the commander tag would have a bronze edging. Silver, silver edging, soonsoforth.
