I think this would be something that would be nice to have in either unranked or ranked. Seriously, why is this not a thing? So for those unaware in sPVP when you have this enabled everyone is a human with a fairly distinct, easy to click model.

For clarity's sake: Standard Enemy Models

for people who aren't aware.

Permalink to dev response - which is unfortunately word-for-word right out of a post from Hugh nearly 2 years ago when ranked and unranked existed side-by-side and the feature was first unveiled.

It sounds as if ArenaNet has little to no intention of combating this issue which may not be surprising but is a bit disappointing. I agree that the lack of standard enemy models in unranked isn't quite as annoying as some players make it out to be, but I still think its addition would be a net-positive for the integrity of unranked during the off-season.

As this functionality is intended for high-end, skilled players at the top tier of PvP, this option will work only in Custom Arenas that allow Tournament Commands (while Ranked queues are disabled during an off-season).

Also, Revenant standard models will be included in an upcoming release.
