Idea: what if Squad Leaders in WvW had the ability to write commands or use their marker icons on the map for people outside the squad to see. This way commanders can send troops to certain places away from the zerg as if they were there with them. The icons and arrows can be used to tell troops where to go.

Anyone can write msgs to the map. The special markers are squad specific. Allowing all people to see all markers would simply make a mess for groups of squads.

This is commonly known as "talking coherently". Most commanders just yell *"PUSHPUSHPUSH"* and other things you cant make out, but some will actually say *"party 4 and 5, go do that thing"*. There is nothing Anet can do to fix people.

or you know increase squadsize so everyone on the map can join it if they want to, then they can see squad messages and markers. it can be useful to see every ally, including all roamers on the map from afar. often i went to defend/attack a camp just to see 5+ people with the same idea from my server when i arrive, that pretty inefficient then, but announcing everything you do would also overly spamm the chat.
