Guild Wars 2

First I would like to say " Well done Anet, tremendous effort in capturing the feel of
" The Thrill of Victory and The Agony of defeat" in your approach to MMO Pvp in a large combat format.

I played Dark Age of Camelot for over 10 years and led battlegroups of a 100 plus almost nightlyfor 6 years. After leaving DAOC, I never thought I would ever find that atmosphere again. I have been playing this game since beta and love the WvW game design with very few exceptions.

Lately I find it very disturbing reading posts and listening to in game chat regarding this GREAT game. All you hear is how cheaters are ruining the game. Obviously the cheating is a problem but cheating has always and will always exist in such an environment, doesnt matter what game you play. Anyone who thinks differently is not being realistic. The fact is some players and guilds must be Elite ( in their own minds ) and these individuals are willing to compromise their intregrity for that feeling! Letting individuals such as these ruin your gaming experience is your own fault!

It is the MUST WIN all the time expectation that is ultimately ruining your gaming experience. When playing in such a massive PvP arena such as WvW you have to expect to eventually fall on hard times and feel the pain and shame of getting it handed to you. Whether the playing field is fair or not. Sometimes you have to pick yourself up, figure out how to beat you enemy and take the fight to them regardless of how bleak the outlook is.

You must not lose HEART! You must fight the fight especially when fighting an enemy who would try to steal victory through the art of cheating. Constantly complaining and switching servers will not solve your problem.

Pick a server, represent that server, WIN or LOSE, stop the ridiculous server jumping and show some SERVER PRIDE! Ques are no longer an issue.

SHOW SOME HEART, RALLY UP and FIGHT THE FIGHT!

The Commander Pin is really not the issue, nor is it needed.

I ran battlegroups of over 100 people on a nightly basis for over 6 years on DAOC and you really dont need an icon over your head to keep people organized and accomplish things on the battlefield. What you do need is the ability as a Commander to create multiple chat groups, one for the people who are following you ( not everyone likes or can use vent/ts ) and one for the other commanders from that server with whom you wish to coordinate attacks with ( which i believe the game does not currently have ).
THATS A HINT ARENA NET!

Someone said it earlier, people will follow the leaders that get it done and whom they like running with, people will know the names and they wont need an icon over the leaders head to find them.

Those individuals with Commander pins are not hurting anything!

Did you ever stop to think that maybe one of those individuals with the Commander pin over his head is some 14 year old kid having a blast or someone new to pvp who is trying to learn how to lead. If you are commanding people and you need an icon over your head or others with icons over their heads frustrates you perhaps leading is really not for you!

Like i always say, Dont fear the release and If it moves kill it!

Have fun and Be safe!
