As I was running with Signal, and learning more about the group dynamic of WvW, I had a thought. Signal knew a lot of about what we were doing, and even thought tonight's battle didn't go as he had planned, it went well and it was fun. I was sitting there wondering where his ideas were coming from, things I wouldn't have guessed.
That made me realize that even though I'm decent as a branch of the group, and improving by running with Sig, I would be next to worthless as a WvW leader.
What I would like to know is if our existing, talented commanders would take on an interested guildy or two to teach them to become commanders. I think there might have to a few provisions to this, just because of how the Gaiscioch leadership system works, but I think it'd be pretty cool. The only limitations that I see is the fact that GSCH Leadership starts at Lorgair, but I'm certain there is more that could be brought up.
Right now, I am enjoying running as a simple thief, high dps output, and the ability to get away and live to fight another day. I like being able to zip off on my own to scout when needed, or being able to rain heck down on a group with my shortbow. But, someday I would like to lead in the WvW field, when I have more knowledge and my work schedule has settled down, and would be totally up for joining in with anyone who would want to teach me to be a commander.
I know Signal is doing an excellent job at training on the group aspect of WvW, and I'm certain that he could do a great job teaching leaders too. I also know Fog and Spartan to be great WvW commanders as well, and, if interested, any of these three could train more commanders.
If anyone decides to train future commanders, that'd be awesome!
