I agree, the idea is great, but...

... it would stop people from learning to read.

I saw the above lines often, and I don't think that the warrior mentioned would've benefited from a blue energy line.
If he's not reading the energy warnings of the monk, how can you expect him to watch the monks blue line?

I think some people even turn their party-window off.

Can someone say pathetic? You really aren't that original, and your build "secret" isn't that special.

I strongly support the idea of having an energy indicator for everyone. Necros will be better able to help allies in regaining energy, and mesmers and rangers will be better able to manage energy denial.

An energy indicator would be nice, it will help Warriors realize their Monks do not have energy.

Though an energy indicator for enemies shouldn't be shown.

Another thing I'd like to see implemented is to show if you are losing energy (besides the blue bar). You see when you loose health, or when you deal damage, and when you gain experience. But you don't see if you loose energy (or gain). Often I am fighting a group of mobs, one that might have a mesmer with energy draining skills, and all of a sudden I get the "Not Enough Energy" pop up, and I see that I have less that 5 energy, where I had near full energy 10 seconds ago. And I didn't use up all the energy from skills.

I'd like to see little number pop-ups for energy gain and loss.

Theres an old post on this forum that has a small suggestion related to this at http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=11916. I posted an idea to show allies energy levels, but after all this time, ANET still has not shown interest in updating the interface... Here is the picture I posted, I think it would be a nice addition (of course not exactly like that, something more appealing, it was only a quick sketch).

Monk:
I said wait!

Warrior:
.....

god, if that would help us monks get any less of this situation (which happens a LOT in random parties) then i'm all for it. whenever i join a random team for mission or quest or whatever either they are complete idiots and turn party chat off (heLLLoOoO?!?!) or they just ignore you when you flash you are low on mana, wait wait wait, recharge recharge. no one listens. and then they blame it on you because they ran into a mob of 30 monsters when you're the only monk with half mana. so yeah it would probably help

i think they would look at a bar more than listen to monks.

I have just made one myself aswell, showing different energy levels. The first bar shows full energy. The 2nd shows 66% percent energy, and the third 33% percent. The last one shows 0 energy.
