I want all Super Battle Droids, and normal Battle Droidsto have a number in their name.
I was doing my first DWB raid last night and often I would do /sys Everybody target Super Battle Droid! and they would ask which one. I think it would make it easier for us to call out targets like Everybody Target Super Battle Droid 1138!
It is a small thing but would really help keep groups focused on the common target.

You could also teach your group to do the /assist command. They target you, type /assist and will begin attacking your target.

I have to agree with DiLune. That isn't the only case where you have many npcs of the same name. Granted, that usually has the most numbers, but imagine hunting squills or tuskens or rebels or black sun, there aren't enough names sometimes for the numbers to come out.
Also, the way spawns work, if they each had a number that is the same as a name, and might constitute making 1 npc for each number instead of just 1 that spawns a lot.

I forgot about /assist good call. But does anyone know if it works for melee too?

I can't remember how ofteni announced "from left to right" (or vice versa) by now, but that only makes sense when all targets ahead have similar strength and threat rating.
The proposed number would perhaps work for DWB, where droids can have a number, but how'bout animals? Would you want to see "Diseased Nuna 483"? Together with
"/sys Designated target:%TT" it would work fine, but i'd prefer if the SL would rather have the option to mark the target.
There were different suggestion. The most drastic one being, that all the team (or all ranged) automatically switching to the new target, but that would probably find much resistance in the playerbase. Better suggestions were to add the designated target in the TAB-list, so each player targets it when hitting TAB once (sounds like a working concept, but at the same time it "feels" like a clumsy fix) or by simply displaying an icon on/over the designated target. (And give everybody shooting at the marked target a small bonus to accuracy or damage, that way it's desireable for all teammembers to really go for the designated target.)
I really would prefer the last suggestion... anyways, i agree that a way to better coordinate attacks would be very helpful.
