I would like if they brought it back only for Guild chat though. It has legitimate usage in Guild chat (knowing who auto-collects in Arena, for instance).
Agreed. The VIP banners did cause alot of hostility between VIP and non paying players. Even VIP1 was "bad" to some. But completely agree that in guild chat it would help to know who has auto collect and who does not.
