Group organization [suggestion]

[Zahld.4956]

Players are able to display their builds in the party and squad player roster gui. Another player would mouse over their name or build icon and see what their build is easily.Players would also be able to have a build name displayed in the roster too.

This would help with group organization and composition recognition in wvw and other group settings.

Oh dead gods, please no "inspecting in front of bank" shenanigans here, thanks.

Voting no to build inspections. ArcDPS is enough of an issue already.

The option would be optional for players to display themselves (or not to display).Never know how useful it can be until you've tried it. If it gets too toxic or disruptive, it can always be disabled.At least an option for players to show what their potential role in a group (some string of text they type and display) could be of some use to the group (this could also be used to give themselves a nickname or whatever title they want). Displaying a build could help players assist in build optimization for different play situations.

Also an option to allow players to display their armor and weapon info would be nice for fashion war players.

arcdps already creates enough toxicity. let's not add an in-game feature that does that

I don't feel like the majority if players have had this problem or even a small percentage. Or even the frequency of this problem being prevalent.

final fantasy 14 has an "Inspect Player" on the right click commands. it's no issue for them because it's been with the game since realm reborn 2.xx they also have FF14 ACT plugin (parsers/dps meter) there for a long time (dps and parsing is also a sensitive topic there)

guild wars 2 never had it... and with the heated arguments regarding arcdps on both sides of the community i think adding fuel to the fire will not make it better.... now, if we had this feature since launch it wouldn't be much of an issue to others as it is now.

if they added a gear inspection and kept it a WvW thing it probably might help commanders organise squads though -- for PvE i wouldn't mind too but there's going to be people who'd disagree and not want it for various reasons (as evident by the initial replies to your thread) so it's better to not have it at all, we made do without it for 8 years, we'll be fine for another 8 (assuming gw2 lasts that long lol) :)
