I know it's been said before and I'm sure that, in effect, it nullifies what GUILD Wars is all about but, for the love of Dwayna, make it so that, if you -do- choose to go about using henchmen, you can at lease give them the "stand your ground" command so that you can aggro and then command them to "attack".
Most of these missions are doable with henchmen if they wouldn't constantly run up and *points to Alesia* into the middle of hostiles.

I totally agree, especially on the alesia front . Some basic commands would be great. Just 'stand ground', 'attack when attacked' and 'free for all' would be fantastic.
