["Competent Commander" achievement seemingly bugged.]

Trying to do the Competent Commander achievement in the Extraction Point chapter in EoD Act 5, but I can't interact with Rama and Gorrik. They're marked on the map but when I approach them they exchange some dialogue and then I'm unable to speak to either of them. I had no such issues with any of the other NPCs.

[Open Letter to ArenaNet regarding Server Latency]

I agree with 95% of the above statement. The lag is getting to the point where its just embarrassing. There's even lag when you try to click the button to enter WvW post-reset.

It seems presumptuous to assume most players will want to pay a subscription though. Sure, there's probably quite a few dedicated WvW players who would in theory, but that doesn't necessarily extend to PvX players. More to the point, what have ArenaNet done over the last however many years to build enough trust for people to believe giving them more money is worth it? How long is it now since the last update regarding Alliances? Or look at the fact that we're all here commenting on a thread pleading with Anet to simply acknowledge a major issue that's been plaguing WvW for years.

[From the ‘update news’]

Ever get the feeling they added the Warclaw so they could spend a year fixing it and saying "look everyone, updates"?

[People manage to join closed squad without invite]

@Zephyra.4709 said:Can they still join if you block them?

Yes.

[Best way to organize squad and subgroups]

Firebrand Scrapper Scourge Scourge Tempest. Firebrand Scrapper Scourge Revenant Weaver. Firebrand Scrapper Scourge Revenant Weaver.

Basically, one Firebrand per subgroup, one Revenant per subgroup, no more than one Scrapper or Tempest per subgroup, distribute Scourges evenly across subgroups as best you can for more even barrier application. Try and make sure Weavers are in a subgroup with a Revenant to give them permanent Fury, and if you have Spellbreakers fit them in where you can. Obviously this all assumes you have enough of each class. If there aren't enough Firebrands, Weavers and backline Revenants are more able to cope without party support than other classes.

[Please fix Party without Grid alignment]

If you use simple party UI it doesn't show the complete rank once they hit 1000 so it aligns a bit better.
