I’d really like to see the option in WvW to either:

A. Display subgroup (given and taken) DPS. Similar to what I see when I attack something, but among my allies as well. It’d be great to more easily see where we’re taking damage on the battlefield, so I can offer support in specific areas. Right now, the game lacks synergy in my opinion, and I don’t feel like I’m playing with my guildies, even though we’re all on Teamspeak.

I understand the concern with people getting snooty and even kicking people out for not dishing out enough DPS, so I’ll also offer…

B. Merely highlight who\what my subgroup is attacking. Example: An enemy\gate\object radiates red for “attack” and allies radiate “blue” for taking damage. I can see a problem with damage spikes if 60 people can focus on one person, but five people working together shouldn’t put one side in too much of a disadvantage — especially if both sides can do it.

I really don’t think you’re going to see people get kicked for stats in WvW, though. That’s more of a fractal\raid thing. Finally, consider the option to hide your DPS stats to your subgroup.

P.S. It would be awesome if commanders had the option to view any subgroups DPS given/taken. Even if only one subgroup at a time.

I can appreciate that you are trying to give commanders more tools to help other players, but you downplay the possible misappropriation of such tools. It is antisocial behaviour wherever it is displayed and it goes against the spirit of this game. We don’t need more of that here and there are other ways for commanders or servers to evaluate and improve organisation of their groups.

DPS is not everything. Your most valuable group members could be purely support/boons/heal/CC types.
