I'll always sign for added H/H control options.

I'm gonna bump this-come on guys-lets get more /sign's in here so ANet will finally implement this!
You know you're tired of having your heroes die from AoE

It would be very useful altough pain inverter on some ele boss is more effective when henchies/heroes ball up. ^^

There has to be some way to make your henchies spread out or clump together without flagging them.

This is as good a time as any to resurrect this suggestion, with the full hero party update just having been announced.
A spread out button would be a good and much quicker alternative to flagging each hero apart separately, and in areas where there are a lot of lethal AoE attacks (for example in the Foundry of Failed Creations) this would be essential.

I also like the idea of being able to give our heroes targets. It'd be great in situations where you have to protect a NPC. I can't blame him for wanting to heal a half dead bone minion rather than Prince Rurik, but still - it's a pain.

I like the idea of formations. Like say they define a set number of formations and allow players to pick and load 3 just like you load your builds before you leave a town/outpost. Then instead of 3 flags you have 3 formations. You simply click formation 1, 2, or 3. to change up.
But at least a slider or something to say "spread out" and "form up" would be nice.

I wonder if the op is still around or cares about this anymore. After 4 years it seems like we've all just gotten used to dumb AI

It's still a pain. A "fan out" command would be great, although there's already a shortage of space around the minimap (where are the flag buttons for heroes 4, 5, 6, 7 going to go?!) ...

Very good idea, formation control is very good. Even if we get the 7 heroes it is always good to have them spread out.

I hate it when AOE just totally whipes out my henchman because they are retarded.
Its okay when its a mistake on my side, or when I fail @ flagging/micro, but its not okay when its caused by a retarded AI.

This is a great idea...
I was about to post this idea today, but did a search and found this thread....am really surprised it doesn't have more replies.
An example, nothing intricate, of how to implement this is found in the computer game, Age of Empires: Age of Kings.
One can choose from either 3 or 4 different pre-made templates for one's troops that are in formation with your character;
Box Formation, Fan-out/Scatter, etc...
Having a selection for a Line and having them spaced out would be nice, as well as having an option to ensure they stay with you when you want to run/sprint away...er, I mean, "withdraw strategically"
I am also tired of trying to flag my Heroes and Henchmen to different areas to just avoid the Area-of-Effect damage that we are constantly exposed to, and taking the time to flag them away from one another takes up valuable combat time that I could be doing something more useful
(in other words, it's still a great game, but I get frustrated a lot, uttering words that are less Gentlemanly than I am proud of ).
Again, great idea, do hope to see this available, not just in GW2, but in GW1
