The Game Masters have always claimed that they read these threads in the forums. I have always doubted it but I decided to post a topic that has become a bit frustrating because it takes the fun out of playing Edge of the Mists.
Since I started playing GW2, I have experienced both good and bad situations but that is just a part of what you will find in any game these days. In Edge of the Mists and the Borderlands WvW I have seen both good and bad commanders but the only problem is the bad ones occupy the maps like around the clock and don’t give a chance for the good ones to play. These "bad Commanders diminish the fun and adventure out of the game by running around, trolling the map chats and just zerging other groups and not capping any points and if they do, it’s lead by a wipe right after.
The way it is now is any newcomer to GW2 of a couple days can purchase gems, convert to gold and then buy a Commander Tag and run around not having any idea of what they are doing and just lead groups to their doom, making the game lousy for others who want to play, be competitive and have fun.
Just an idea is, to base the purchase of commander tags on a certain level of achievement points or some other form of achievement in the game. Also, a limit to how many times they can command in a day. This way, it gives a fair chance to allow other veteran and/or new commanders who want to lead groups, have fun and play to win. I know it may not eliminate the issue completely, but it may help filter out the trolls who consume the map around the clock.

Is just me, or the many servers dont recive his points in theTournament Leaderboard update today, for example in Europe Gold , Baruch Bay should have now 8 points and be 2/3 tied with Desolation,
The ranks are not updated at the same time, they are done individually. If you notice, for Baruch Bay 12/6/13 at 10:05am PST, while Desolation was last updated 4/11/14 at 10:10am PST If you hover your mouse over each rank, it will show you the individual date of each and when it was updated last. I check the leaderboards everyday but very little activities happen, however I have a link that can provide the current scores of the tournament and the predicted ranking that may be resourceful.

I have a Ranger support build which does fairly well but personally, I think what really helps are boon durations. My boon duration is increased by 45%. The boons I share with my group are Regeneration, Swiftness, Fury for 22 seconds with a 35 sec cd so from when it was used, I only wait 13 seconds inbetween rebuffing the group again. When I use my Jungle Stalker, he gives another 5 stacks of might with a 25 sec cd. and my Red Moa gives Fury with a 25 sec cd as well. These boons combined with Sun Spirit (Fire Damage), Frost Spirit (Extra Damage), Stone Spirit (Protection), Spirit of Nature (Extra Healing/Reviving Skills) with my Healing Spring to cure conditions/heal my allies, this build works great for me. Also, when someone is downed and I revive them, my healing is doubled and when they are revived, we both automatically receive a 20 sec Swiftness boon. I have even soloed quite a few champions as well. Yes, the dps is low and takes a bit but it’s still possible
As someone else mentioned in this post, if you have the Ranger trait build done correctly, it can be a strong support build.
