Hi 'AOE' Family :) Achievement Border Display On Nameplates Idea
So rather than just having a basic title that's hard to see, written in small font like 'GLADIATOR' next to your name as an example. I'd like to see a skill level border put around the class icon in your own nameplate and the enemies nameplate as well. Check out the image I've linked below for an idea of what I mean but visualize some type of Gold, Plat, Diamond, etc boarder (Depending on what you have achieved) around the class icon.

This for me would create a greater sense of accomplishment and would also give a more accurate and quick assessment of my opponents skill level which could factor into how I adjust my play style on the fly. It also adds another component of acquisition to the game. So along with gold, items, titles, mounts, etc. We now have borders to also strive for.
This could also maybe act as a way of warning you that you're flagged for PVP combat. So the border would only become displayed as you enter PVP combat, then the border could transition into a PVE achievement border when becoming unflagged.
Like/Dislike the ideas? Thank you in advance for any positive or any constructively negative responses.

I really like the idea. I think visual representation of character achievements are a central part of community driven MMOs. I especially like the idea of having the borders switch depending on the current environment or PvP state!
What it makes me wonder is how much of the UI will be up for external modding, something I haven't though about much before.
