Guild Wars 2

I agree with what the main post is saying here. The improvements listed would certainly be very useful as the only real PvE function for someone in the squad is (as mentioned); squad chat.

Squads should make it easier for large groups of people to organise themselves and communicate with each other, but the only person able to do this is the commander, and that’s only by using the squad markers. The commander can’t be everywhere at once, and if someone else in the squad (not in the commander’s party) has a location to share they have to link the closest waypoint, which is easily done in any other chat so there is no point to do this in squad chat .

I can appreciate that only the commander has special privileges, they’ve earned them, but perhaps the commander could assign different ranks to members that they trust (or leaders of other parties in the squad) to give them access to the functions too. Players with these commander-assigned ranks could be shown on the squad members’ mini maps in a different colour, if not everyone else in the squad.
