If ArenaNet does not have forums and are reading fan sites, shouldn't we have a suggestion forum where they can come in and view what we as devoted fans would love to see changed or added? Granted they can not do everything, but maybe some stuff would be easy to put in. Where would you post suggestions? Here in the Questions and Answers? Maybe a suggestions/feedback to the dev's forum needs to be created. It could be that I am not seeing it as well tho

2 suggestions I have that I wish and hope the dev team would implement are:

1) Fix the team minimap

I would like my team members to show up as different colored dots on the minimap. Foe's are red, NPC's are green, fellow people in towns are blue, make my team members like yellow or something. When you are in town and talking to a merchant and selling stuff, there is no easy way to find your teammates. As it is now, you have to agree to meet in front of the gate or something, or you can hit Ctrl (or Alt, can't remember atm) and find them with the green names but why does the minimap not change the color of dots? Also, if the team member(s) go off the minimap radar, how do you find them?! We need a way to find in which direction they went. Currently, quests give you a green arrow, why not something for team mates? Help!

2) When in a party, and traveling to a city, this breaks up the team.

If you are in a party and you leave to go to a city, there a couple of reasons you are doing this, the 2 most I have noticed are: heading to the city to vend your stuff and the other is to turn in a quest you might have been working on. In either case, I am finding myself having to re-group after traveling to a city. This is a annoyance and minor inconvience. Why not have it prompt you with, "XX XX is traveling to XX, would you like to travel with them?" You then can say yes and you both go to the same town and district. If one person does not have the city, then it never prompts them because they have not been there. Alot of times, if you find a good team or if you are playing with friends, you want to stick together, run a few quests. However you do need to head to town to vend your goods, switch up skills, etc. Why break up the team, then have to track down what district they are in, switch to it, then re-group. Unneeded! Maybe have a timeout option too, so if I say I am traveling, I go, and on your screen, it comes up saying, would you like to go with? Maybe it waits there for 30 seconds and defaults to no if you don't click it. Don't force me to wait for you to click the box before I can travel.

If I think of more, I will post here I guess

Currently you can click on a teammates name in the party window and it will circle their character on your minimap. Not a bad suggestion though as it would be nice if they showed up as a different color.

I don't know, I guess I just haven't seen this as a problem. I haven't had any great need to be with my team in a city, and if anything I think popups "so and so is traveling to city A" could get annoying. If I do need to meet with a teammate in a city, it's already very quick and easy to select the city on the M map and then go to the right district. Very minor inconvenience.
