I would like to be able to see the names of the players I am fighting in WvW. I already know which server they are from because of the color. So why not list their name instead of their server?
I know its a sin to bring up World of Warcraft….but in Vanilla WoW what made it so much fun is knowing the names of the people we were fighting and seeing them every day.

Because you can whisper across servers.
then why not just make it so that the whisper system when used cross server, only works cross server if you include the 4 digit tag??
I think a large part of it is to prevent harassment. If you can see what peoples names are you can start spamming them during WvW to distract them. For example, I was in tkitten jumping puzzle a few days ago and someone cross server invited me to their party(not certain how exactly) to tell me that his friends were going to come kill me because other people on my server decided to gank them. Now this whole time I was just like “omg you can invite people cross-server?” so I was a bit distracted but I might have found him annoying if I wasn’t in shock already. I could have just left party in that scenario but get a guild of 20+ griefers spamming one person and it would be a lot harder to deal with.
not sure if i’m allowed to tell (if not pls just delete it, mod) but right now you actually can rightclick enemies avatar and hit the “report” button. then you will get a popup asking if you really wanna report <accountname>. knowing his account name allows you to whisper or invite him to a party etc…
lol @ because we can whisper
If I cant see who Im fighting how would I know who to whisper?

^ This guy is a genius
Back in beta, you could right click them and just PM them straight from there. I would PM people to stop hitting me. xD

Because it defeats the point of servers being mostly a WvW divider and nothing else.

Really?? I guess I’ll spell it out.
If you could see the enemy name, you would then be able to whisper them. This would allow for easy harassment and cross-server co-operation.

Correct me if I’m wrong…..and I hate to ice your game….but doesn’t this game have a block feature?

Sure, but honestly I’d rather not have to deal with it at all and I’m more concerned about cross-server co-operation anyway.
