Like, if you want a solo Warfront where you are the commander and get to send out troops and whatnot... that's totally fine to do. No real problem. But having a commander in a large player group? That's a recipe for disaster.
But even in solo play, it very quickly becomes ridiculous if everyone is the commander, big lord, chosen one, whatever, especially outside of instanced solo content. That was the whole thing with BFA world quests where Magni blows smoke up your ass about saving the world as its champion... while there's 20 other champions around you saving it, too. It just becomes such a cliche in a group setting, even if it's not actual group play.
They'd have to just put everything into strictly instanced solo content and then it's the rise of the forum hordes who complain the game isn't even an MMO anymore.
