If you make your own video, I'd encourage you all to try and stick to three ideas as well! There's no wrong answers. Just what do you think would be a cool addition (or what would be good to remove) that would benefit World of Warcraft in the long run? Also, I'd encourage anyone watching this to watch my response video to Asmongold's initial thoughts first. If you don't, you might be a bit confused why I'm not maybe addressing class changes, end game raiding, etc - I do all that in the first video. Anyway, enjoy!

You and Asmon need to team up with a few others and have a round table discussion.

I would like it if they focused on The World of Warcraft, like the old world. Update it from Cataclysm but give an option to explore Cata Zones if one wishes.

For me it would be the following: 1. Make leveling fun again, add an emphasis on it, reverse it back to how it was before legion where every zone had level ranges and you have to progress through the zones and really get to feel the journey. 2. Revamp old world and make it a continuous story, this helps with part 1 and make this the main new player story as opposed to BFA and really just give it your all, give all the back story to wow, give all the Warcraft 3 lore, lore from previous expansions, everything. Honestly, just make an expansion purely focused on this and no endgame because this MATTERS!! 3. Make endgame content easy (with a hardmode alternative THAT DOESN'T FEEL MANDATORY, JUST PURELY FOR COSMETIC REWARD), make raids more about the story rather than about getting the loot, but also make it to where you get loot from every boss and make it to where the loot builds itself on every raid, like how it was in vanilla. Extra bit I just thought off, make old raids part of leveling! Those are just some things that came to mind before I watched the video.

The housing system could also be tied to your warband. You would log into the game with your entire warband, and be able to switch between those characters without logging out. Maybe even take them to a dungeon as bots.

I also wouldnt mind more plain, boring, realistic armor. Like how it used to be in Vanilla.

The lore needs some fixing imo

I was guiding some newbie friends through the Horde BfA questline, and when Rastakhan said "I'm letting you stay here in our city since you rescued my daughter," they asked "wait what, we did???" I had to explain to them that there is a different quest that is supposed to play out before the Zuldazar intro, but we didn't go through it for some reason. If I wasn't there, they'd be completely lost.

I would love player housing, but I don't like the attack part. Blizzard would definitely add rewards for successfully defending your house, and then it just becomes a thing that's necessary to do. I just don't want my house to be destroyed and lose everything I collected. :c

The 'Chromie leveling' sytstem sounds like a really good idea, Nixxiom!

1. *Warhalls*. Player Housing is one thing. But the Warband is becoming a big evergreen feature soon. I think we can combine warbands with another feature: Guild Halls. Because people without guild can use the same tech to house their Warband instead. 2. *A RP Dev*. Roleplayers are very loyal players, but Blizzard has been very blind to them since the very start. They squander a lot of opportunities to throw them a bone. Like, Horde lacks a good hub now. Blizz keeps putting new disruptive NPCs in RP hubs. Crossfaction guildies can understand each other in /s but not in /e, which is very RP-important. RP-addon cross-server support, etc. 3. *Fix cosmetic bloat*. Mounts, Toys, Pets are wonderful. But there's so many now that without knowing the name, finding the one you seek in the list is almost impossible. Why not sort all kodos together? Why aren't all hearthstones one entry? Why aren't all dragon whelps a united group? It would make things a ton easier. Heck, make hunter pets work like Warlocks do now. Where you have one "Cat" pet and tame different cats out in the world to unlock variants of it.

I think the housing Build would also be a good idea for Guilds. There should be a 'Guild Hall.' It would be a Team effort of a Guild to fund and build a Hall for their entire Guild. You can Teleport with a Guild Portal in Capitols or a Hearthstone. There's different types of rooms you can have build Main Rooms- These are rooms for things like Main Entrance, Meeting Hall, Trophy Room, A Stable and a Tavern room that functions like any other Tavern with the ability to set your Hearthstone there. Profession Rooms- Rooms dedicated for things for professions, like a Blacksmith, Tailoring room, Alchemy and Enchanting room, etc. Misc/Decorating Rooms- Rooms like a Lounge, Resting Quarter, Guild Leader's Office. I can imagine that Guild Members can all meet up in the Meeting Hall to Group up and discuss plans, such as preparing for a Raid and such.

I understand why some players want player housing, but the current way retail is. It would just make the world feel even more empty than it already is because it would have to be instanced. E.g. instead of players hanging out in the current expansions capital. Players would hang out in their house alone.

Perfect Starter game experience IMO. Them just having chromie guide you through like the few most important lore drops, and you have to do like 3-4 quests, like 1 quest could be discovering that the LK is on the move, 2nd quest could be the storming of Northrand, 3rd could be the wrath gate, and 4th could be the actual LK fight and ending. All the in between stuff, chromie can summarize while you do these main quests. The idea to make people want to the REPLAY these expansions on their own is also perfect... Truly I wish blizzard would see this.

I have and idea for a player Shops. I know we have the auction house. But imagine you have to go afk. And you set up a mini shop in a capital city or open world where you character can provide services automatically. Like let’s say enchanting. Someone comes up to your mini shop clicks on it , it will bring up list of available enchantment your character has based on the materials you have as the shop owner and it will also show the cost per enchantment with mats. The shopper will also have the option to bring his own mats for the service at a smaller cost based on what the shop owner has it set for the service. And also this will passively increase the shop owner profession level. This is just and example for a shop for professional. But maybe your someone that wants to sell BoE’s or quest items or crafted goods you could do that too! While afk.

What everybody seems to forget, is that a lot of people don't want to rush to the end and they don't want it to be easy. They already have the classic realms why not have a third option where they can play through the game like we did originally.

Chromie revamp sounds great and we really need that if we want to encourage more new players to try WoW. Housing sounds awesome too and I'd love to have my own piece of land and say a little farm like in MoP and it should have been added a long time ago (garrisons were not it) but I don't see how that would help with modern version of WoW. We have so many other problems to focus on (overcomplicated class design, overwhelming and weak narration, endgame stagnation, overabundance of mounts, items, currencies etc) that adding a new system on top of that doesn't sound like a solution we really need. I really think we need some kind of reset of everything aka "guys, we fucked up, let's try again."

My top 3. 1. Player housing 2. Gallywix casino. Fun activities to do solo and multiplayer. Pay gold to get coins to play games to collect currency to buy cosmetics. A activity could be tag, hide n seek, parkour, mini games like some of the WQ that are out there. 3. Update all of the old content island expeditions, horrific visions, brawlers guild, torghast to max level content and add new cosmetics.

Great ideas....really. my wish list would include size and height sway bars for your toons to create even more separation from everyone else's same races. Why not add the races that everyone wants as well, npcs that have current character frames. I want Jinyu for alliance and sethrak for horde

I suggested in the past continual zone specific conditions. That make questing in some zones more interesting. Stuff that happens outside of towns like Kobolds bursting up from the mines to attack you in Elwyn Forest, or a lantern mechanic in Duskwood where you have to collect an oil buff from guards along the road or your light goes out and the enemies get harder. I'd love an overhaul to the dungeon journal that shows everything available to do currently and has lore descriptions. Like, just something to remind me that I could go do the big dig or the soup event. Once you do the intro quest for such an ongoing event, it'd add it to your journal along with a tab for achievements you can earn and your currencies for that specific event. BRING BACK THE TOGGLE FOR TAKING YOUR HELMET ON AND OFF. While you're at it, add a toggle for true night/day and weather cycles. I don't know who thought it would be more convenient to drink a potion or summon an NPC to do these things but please just put it in the options menu. You added an option just for arachnophobia, I know you have the resources to add 3 buttons to the settings menu.

I like the Player Housing ideas you had, and I would like to add our current crafting system into the mix. We have Blacksmithing (build me some furniture or a shed), Tailoring ( I need curtains, rugs, and bedsheets), Herbing (I need a garden outside and pretty flower beds under the windows, and Leatherworking (uh... I need a leather couch).. I dunno. I'm just throwing out some brainstorming. We could integrate our crafts into our housing agenda.

Not a video response but what I have always wished was…. 1. Quests to teach all new abilities learned. Either as an in the world quest or solo mini dungeon quest. 2. If your spec is not a primary damage dealer then provide quests that allow you to choose the healing route to level with rather than kill everything in sight. 3. Allow people to craft their way up . The ‘craft’ part of Warcraft.

Lore onboarding needs work. Definitely agree. It sounds tough to condense 20 years of lore into an easily digestible experience. (And that's not counting lore from WC1-3 at all) If they manage to pull that off I am going to be impressed. My ideas: 1. Bring back removed scenarios and events like battle of undercity and bombing of theramore, but make them a single player experience (use the follower dungeon tech if need be). The examples I mentioned are very important pieces of the story that are missing from old content and it stinks. I think if the team wants us to take the story and lore seriously, then we need to address all the missing pieces. 2. You could also add brief cutscenes to address important bits of the story that occurred in novels or other media not in game such as War Crimes. Obviously we don't need to spoil the whole book, but we need some bullet points between "Garrosh is in custody awaiting trial" and "Garrosh is in an alternate timeline and he wants you dead." 3. Introduce something to replace the glyph system or redesign it. It's really obtuse and weird these days. Being able to more easily choose between simple colorations and spell graphics options or even character weapon animations would be amazing.

What you are talking about mobs attacking your *Base/home* is essentially Valheim

A full lore questline in the style of that nightfae theatre would be kinda cool. I agree all of this would be cool, but I would say that all of this could be added to what Asmon is saying, if anything, the player housing would make more sense if there was only one raid difficulty so that if you had all the cosmetic items you get from the raid has some meaning to them, not just entering LFR, afk, and get all the things. I would prefere if there was one raid difficulty that started somewhere between where normal and heroic is now and ended somewhere between heroic and mythic, with some bosses having Ulduar optional hardmodes making them full mythic difficulty

They need new intros for each race with a streamlined summary in quests of the history of that race. Exile's reach is ok, but you lose a lot of identity. Example, as a human, you should get an intro about the Stormwind reconstruction and the king missing in action and quests summing up the story of the Defias and the unmasking of Onyxia, phased quests, instances, cutscenes, whatever, but they need an intro like that, a singleplayer version, easy and fast. And then, an introduction of the options you have if you want to follow the story in chronological order or not. Chromie time was a good idea, but they need to be more clear with the order (Cataclysm should be third, after Outland and Northrend, as most of the Classic context is lost) It's 30 years of lore we're talking about. It's normal that it is multimedia (books, comics, games...). But currently, the new player gets an extremely generic intro and then gets shoved into a very complex world.

When in the character selection screen (upcoming Warband edition), I want the option of having my warband characters sitting, eating, laughing, playing an instrument, sleeping, chatting with other warband characters, sparring with a dummy in the background, etc. PLEASE don't let them just stand around like we normally see them when choosing a character to log in with!

As a player who watched nobbel and read the books but never played the game until last month. The games story is the reason i wanted to play it and now is the reason i want to stop. They told an amazing story (up until legion) but then were scared to tell the players about that story, starting my first character i was sent to do bfa so I can unlock chromie time the moment i got 60. Then i played through tbc, wrath and now finishing mop. The story is so unconnected and all over the place with scenes like the bombing of theramore not shown in the game, when you start mop the air commander says this one is for theramore and I was like oh that happened? I was so excited to play that questline before I started mop and then realized I never get to experience that. It's like they are scared of showing the only good parts about the modern day game and instead filling it with horrible expansions like bfa and shadowlands. Imo the best thing they could do to fix the early game experience is to reforge classic and then put that IN wow retail and experience the original lore, then when you get to level 60 you can choose whether you want to continue the story or just play for the raids, pvp etc. Choosing to continue the story means going through tbc up into shadowlands. With the story and the game, quests etc being reforged to be less grindy and make lore sense.

The one big thing I would fix is the base game, the base of the game been access to the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor needs major updates with Outland and Northrend not far behind. In terms of graphics it needs to be updated to be on the same level as War Within, next is getting people out into this world and I know there are those who do want to preserve the parts of the game where they are unaltered (which we do have a feature already in game with Darkshore and the Blasted Lands) which I can understand and what I am wanting to point out is that it is a big world and most people are playing only in the Dragon Isles and there is a easy way to get people playing back in these areas. To get people back in the world we should have all mobs operate with the same level system as that found in Dragon Flight where despite the max level for an expansion the mobs will always scale to the player's level, next is giving the base game world quests, faction rep rewards, it's own Mythic + and Awakened Raiding seasons (separate to the current expansion) and to keep this part of the game always relevant having faction and adventure guild story and quest lines to keep people invested in these areas. It frustrates me when there are major events that happen when a expansion is launched we are told of events and signs that lead to a conflict involving key characters and the movement of armies and all of these things happen in a novel that we have to pay an addition price for and that novel does break any continuality within the game. To end this fix, I want current expansion's content to be a separate from the base game, the way expansions work now is the same model as Call of Duty, Battlefield, any of the 2K sports titles where the base mechanics of the game is there and content has been replaced by a new theme or updated teams. It does frustrate me that the current games market forget what expansion content is and replace current content with a new theme, we should have both if what we are given is an expansion and it is why I want the old world to be very much part of current world, otherwise we are going to get gimmicks Plunderstorm and MoP remix.

I would love a Classic wow where they update the graphics to retail and update the outdated armor. I would really love to see how that plays and feels

I can definitely see your early game idea. If you come in with no idea of the story, then nothing makes any sense. The progression of narrative time from zone to zone can also be rather confusing, and if things are confusing, people are less inclined to go on (that was what happened to me with FF14, and I dropped it due to lack of time and lack of knowledge as to wtf was going on) I think SWTOR did player housing really well with getting flats on different planets and then having larger baes as social spaces for guilds, which then prevents the isolation of the garrisons. But I think invasions should be entirely toggleable. I think some players would get very upset, if the hideout they have made to just vibe and do some cooking and fishing in all of a sudden gets zerg-rushed by murlocs or whatever, especially if they can actually break things. But I think it could make for some great pvp stories with guilds raiding each other. Maybe have like a safe-mode, but then have incentives like loot and rewards for venturing out of the bubble, but still leaving it as the player's choice in the end

My ideas 1. Remove LFR and Normal raid difficulties 2. Remove current gearing system. Go back to items having fixed ilvls 3. Remove or revamp all mythic + affixes. Remove tyrannical and fortified completely.

In regards to fixing the early game, with the new MoP Remix coming out, my friends and I had an idea: what if each and every expansion was "remixed" like that for the leveling experience. Like, when you create a character the chromie-time screen immediately pops up and you select which expansion you wanna level through. Timerunning sounds like a neat idea for the early game as a permanent addition. I'm tired of the limited-time event kind of stuff, especially when it's THAT good.

My thoughts on it. I'm speaking as a WOTLK private server guy. -The Early game stuff. I would have the quest be much longer, not just a 1 hour stuff, but a minimum of two hours per expansion to get the new players invested into it. -Housing. That does not work in massive games, I would have it be like SWTOR in which housing is in it's own separate instance in a city or other settlements. Make it a player and a guild one too, giving people more stuff to play with. the rest of the stuff would be interesting to do, making Home defense a solo/group dungeon for friends or a guild experience. - RPG, dyes, awesome, cosmetics, meh, pet interaction *yees* . Bard I can see how ppl would just make everything an endless cacophony of noise. Text, some addons have this so it technically exists. Mount, meh. What I'd love to see is books, just make books, have them be long and make a library that can only hold books.

I love your Chromie leveling idea. It solves the 2 biggest needs for a new player to play, and stay in WoW. 1. they get to, even if more briefly, to live through the lore like we did, and feel a part of the game world, and 2. they quickly get to current content, where presumably the friends that convinced them to try WoW, are playing. Your take on housing sounds good. 2 addendums, if I may. 1. Instead of NPCs, populate it with all your same faction alts.. 2. If you want people playing in the world, and not just Org and SW, put the housing in the lvl 5 town of your race. Razor Hill, Goldshire,, Bloodhoof village, Falconwing, etc.

BIG yes to these ideas. They would do so much to the atmosphere of the game. 🙂

the 3rd idea (rpg): could be an item that could be equipped next to the weapon slot in the character profile, and every item could do a different emote while in idle animation (or clicked to activate). So the thing you mentioned...like walking your mount could be a reins item. there could be different spells, and weapons to interact with (dagger to flip, your main hand sword to sharpen, your bow to pull the string on) and it could go as far as glasses to clean, cigar to smoke, coin to flip, ring to admire, book to read, letter to write, bottle to drink from, mage bun to eat, stool to sit and ponder on, map to look confused at, etc. it would be cool to have class/race themed items, profession themed items, and event themed. it would be changed at the transmog just like a piece of gear too, making it account-bound. as for the housing I would like alts to be placed in the area...I wish the follower dungeons could have your own alt skins instead of random npcs too.

I love the first idea, but i would change one thing. I wouldnt use Chromie. I would set it in a new portion of the Caverns of Time and have different characters from their respective stories/expansions narrorate their own storylines that you play through in a quite manner. This would let people be more connected to the characters and not just use Chromie who just feels a little overused at this point. I love chromie but thatd just be too much for me

Here are some of my ideas: 1. I'd like them to add AI voiceover for quests, I'm not interested in reading text, I'd rather listen. I know there's an addon for classic, but sadly, not for the retail. 2. Blizzard needs to make Azeroth more eventful. Feels like there's nothing happening in Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. But on Dragon Isles there's events all over the place. 3. We need an overhaul for character animations. It's outdated. We need more emotes, especially new dance moves. Maybe some kind of customizable combat animations (the way you swing or hold your weapons). Idle animations, where you can lean against the wall, or flip a coin, or check your weapon out. But overall great 3 ideas Nixxiom. Keep em coming.

point #2 is not what he said. his idea is making raids 40 man and easier, and add a Hard mode like Ulduar

3 things that are new player focused: 1) every single achievement/mount in the game needs to be obtainable by a new player; 2) heirlooms should be gone as well as any kind of paid power in the leveling process; 3) the beginning stories of each race should be immersive and plant the player in their home land. There's much more than this, but those are 3 off the top of my head.

I like the third idea for RPG elements. Having multiple different small factions your character could join and be apart of, no player power, just reputation and titles, cosmetics. And not simply one small faction for x class only. Have multiple different paths. You play with one rogue that’s apart of the defias brotherhood, you run into another that’s part of MI 7. Similar to class order halls, but maybe not as big. Your character is apart of something you think fits your character, and tells small compact stories across the entirety of Azeroth. A paladin could join the scarlet crusade and work through their ranks, or the lightforged from legion. I think stuff like that is cool, and it’s nice to play the game and have content where you can relax.

This gave me an amusing idea for an RPG element: getting rested xp from playing music, or maybe even rp walking for a bit. Like the walking next to Mount idea, you rp walk with it and get rested quickly

I proposed this on reddit some time ago but everyone downvoted me: "Proposing some changes to Time Walking Over the years, the content from previous expansions has become almost irrelevant and merely anecdotal. It exists primarily for farming cosmetics and achievements. My proposal is to change the structure of the game, making each expansion its own meta, especially those with borrowed power. For instance, consider Warlords of Draenor, which lost much of its relevance after the release of Legion. Blizzard could re-add the quests they removed, introducing mythic+ and arena seasons for players at the maximum level, but exclusively within the WoD content. Additionally, they could introduce exclusive rewards. We can do it with Legion content, BFA, MoP and even Cata, Wotlk or TBC without the needing of moving to a classic era server. With this approach, we could breathe new life into old content such as raids and dungeons, utilizing old items (excluding skills or spells). What do you think?" :( i just wanna play old content without being trivial again, it may be fun.

i remember sitting in front of the target dummy spamming spells as a boomie, going thorugh the eclipse rotation, and it was so addictive. It kept me there for hours. Man, you don't need content to make players get sucked in your game and waste hours. You only need a simple thing: good game play rotation, weather that is combat, exploring, crafting, or whatever you invent as a developer. Make a good gameplay, not necessarily good content.

Make each server unique with their own stories, just assign a GM to each server and make them able to create events. Make horde lose a city that they have to capture it again, or create a plague that has to be exterminated. Throw in a world boss in the middle on the city. Change gnomes into horde for an event or whatever. Then every sever gets to experience something unique and different making it so that you'll get more personalized memories of the game and your play time.

I really like the first suggestion with chrome lead questing through the expansions. To add onto that, now that we have follower dungeons, the ending of each expansion should be the last raid boss with follower enabled NPC’s to introduce some challenge towards progressing through the story. It would also help with teaching the history of how end game boss mechanics ramped up over each expansion. Obviously there’s many ways to make this viable, but a light bulb went off when you brought this idea up and I wanted to share!

My idea: Player housing - just finish the content of WoD before it was abandoned. Then have all content give you parts and resources to build objects. Then have instances you can have your player housing at unlockable. Like fire caves, elve environments, burning legion argus environments where you can build things to your liking. Don't just lock players to set nodes when it comes to placing structures. Take a page from rift's player housing and lost ark. One idea I've always had, is have items drop based on the lore of the instance/quest/zone. Maybe in ogre dungeons, have bosses have a 23% chance to drop an ogre follower npc you can place anywhere in your player housing. Then you can level up that follower to get strong eno9ugh to defend your house. Then, when that follower gets attacked, it can survive and defend your garrison better. Bring back Need For Greed - Get rid of RNG and bring back need for greed. If blizz isn't going to fix loot specialization to give you loot based on your spec, then bring back need for greed, except this time, make it greed only, take out the need spec so we don't go back to the ninja looter days, but keep the pass function for transmog looting for those that uses pugs to gain transmogs faster and easier. Fix The Portals - Every cap city needs to have a portal to every other cap city that's in the game. There can be a portal tower where one room is for cap cities, then one room is for unique locations such as ashran or the great portal. Then add new rooms as you run out of space, have a staircase to the next portal space. One of the reasons people quits the game is because they don't know how to go somewhere. Doing this alone will make things much easier for new players Guilds - This is the biggest one. Guilds as of right now is useless beyond guild vendor items and perks. When guilds are useless, the game stagnates. So, I'd like to propose a new kind of content called guild dunds and raids. Drops, rewards, and perks only obtainable by being in guilds willing to do the content. These instances will have special items that can drop only in those instances done in guild groups only. Can't be done in a random group. These drops can be anything from rare transmogs, guiild mounts, special token currencies that can be exchanged for other items or a locked gold amount in a token vendor. and every boss killed will give you 1 guild token Zone Classic Phasing - I think we could end the war w8ith classic vs retail by simply doing one thing. Use chromie locations in each zone to phase player through the classic wow experience. It can be turned on/off jyust by cvisiting chromie of that zone. You can either choose global or zonewide experiences. If you choose classic wow, you'll be able to quest, level, and use the class mechanics and balancing of that expansion but with life quality standards that comes from retail. Things like accountwide mounts/pets, portals, and social functions that didn't exist in past expansions. But choose retail, you get the retail experience. The technology is already there for this feature and in the game, just need to modify a few things to make it work. Get rid of classic servers that takes up server resources

1. Update every single outdated quest, Make the quests go through each zone (Old places) 2. Make a choice for making boat rides longer and during that longer ride put in some content there so it could be worth it and put lots of rewards there. Example sea battle events with alot of spawning loot boxes and mini bosses. 3. Remove continent restrictions and let people fly from continent to continent and put content there and let people who choose to fly there interact with the sea battles events all across the seas. This will fix the dead all the dead outdated content out there. Have a good one! =)

Thanks for the video eh, some great ideas. I would love to see your first idea implemented as such: - all characters start as warriors, hunters or mages - go through the tutorial island but made more generic instead of class specific - when you arrive at your faction city, you’re given an overview of all the classes (they already have buildings for this now) - you select which class you want to play and are sent to the class hall to get immersed in the lore and learn more about important figures and their roles in the world - after some basic class play tutorial quests you’re sent to see chromie to travel through the expansions as you mention, maybe 1 expansion every 5 levels with the most important lore quests and some class tutorial quests tied to your class hall in some way - finish in the starting zone of the newest expansion as you mentioned I’d love this as a way to learn about classes and the lore as a whole, and maybe as a reason to allow changing your class like ffxiv does.

1. When you log out, your character can become an NPC and can give out quests and people can pay for whatever your skilled at. So you can man a store/shop or like what you said build your own home/shop. This can also passively earn experience (not as much compared to logged in) and money while your away. 2. Delegated quests. You can get a quest to distribute quests to other people. for example kill 1000 boars, then give a quest kill 10 boars to 100 people. This is kind of inline when you mentioned DND (this also would work with point 1.) 3. AI (like GPT) generated lands and quests. So no more exansions. The world will be decided using GPT :D. That way Blizzard can blame GPT if anything sux. 4. Extra Credit: Would be cool to take your character out of the game and into overwatch, rumble or diablo (yes like an NFT).

I like all of your points and to expand upon the first one, they could have tutorial levels take place in old raid instances with quests and enemies scaled down with separate objectives that help tell the story. For example, when you get to the WOTLK story, one of the quest hubs will have you acquire KT's Phylactery in Naxx. The next would be inside Ulduar collecting lore pieces, (which both take place after adventurers already went through) and ending that expansion with a modified version of the Halls of Reflection dungeon with bots that leads you to the top of ICC where you can see Tirion defeat Arthas and the cutscene before heading into the Cata era.

1) Remove the cash shop. OR, severely limit the amount of items added to it quarterly. Trading post items will never appear in it either. They will either appear again as things are cycled through OR available for purchase with in-game gold. Having trading post items appear in a cash shop item is like punishing new players or current players for not purchasing that item because either they were saving tenders or didn't have enough. It's really obvious that Blizzard is banking on making sales through he cash shop and this is a HUGE turn off. Either reduce the amount of items that appear in it or cut the prices in half (if not more ). 2) Player housing. I don't care if it's a small plot of land or something on the same scale of the garrison. Give us player housing already. Don't give the excuse "people aren't interested in it enough" -- I can assure you, there are A LOT of players who want this and have wanted it for years. 3) Remember that roleplayers exist in your game. Redesign places like Orgrimmar and Stormwind to reflect current wow AND give us spots in it that players can use for roleplay. Also apply this to future cities and towns. Just give us more spots we can use and acknowledge the fact that we actually make up a good chunk of your player base. Bonus! Give us more character customizations. Not moggable items, more hairstyles, skin colors, tusks, horns, etc. If that's asking too much, make it so existing hairstyles can be used on different races ( within reason. I understand lore-wise certain things should be restricted to the races they were intended for ). And for the love of cheese, GIVE TROLLS GREEN SKINTONE ALREADY!!

I would change both slightly, as much as I agree on your first two suggestions. 1) new players should be limited to one of 5 class/specs prot-war hol-prst ww-monk frst-mge bm-hnt. That way blizz can craft focused levelling experiences per class to introduce abilities slowly. They can better tune the experience in lower dungeons too. 2. I think guild housing would be better. Player housing was tested in WoD and just felt so isolating (to me atleast). Guild banners and guards in guild tabard would really build on the team experience.

I love the Chromie leveling system idea, But I wish they would do a longer version of it, like actually take 10 hours to run through all the expansions and get to max level. and maybe instead of letting you get leveling bonuses (in this spicific path) let them curate the experience so you hit current level exactly when you get to the end of the quest chain so you don't get booted early like you do now!

Im not a MMO only gamer but i always hated the idea of big raid groups, i dont mind having the option for bigger raid groups because in paper sounds like an amazing idea , BUT for the casual gamer grouping with a lot of people makes the experience feel like a job

I like the idea of chromie leveling giving recap on the whole story, but the issue is they would be throwing so much info at the player it can be overwhelming. The whole new player introduction right into the previous expac, like dragonflight, makes more sense. That way they are caught up on the recent story rather then all of it

I don't exactly create videos but I have some ideas.. they could be far off tho and not the greatest... buuut here are my 3: 1. Add Scenarios for new players that are instanced content to speed through/bring up to speed the current story of each expansion. Also provide new class spells and abilities along the way in a slow manner to not overwhelm players with early on ability bloat (Assuming there is a condensing of abilities in the new expansion). Assists in getting new players into the game and story since WoW has great lore. 2. Disable LFG for the first 1/2 months of every expansion. Get players to socialize to create groups to do content. This would assist in forming and maintaining guilds/communities. 3. Add a group bonus for either Exp, Honor, or dungeon/raid currency. Promote forming groups to tackle content. Grouping somewhat forces socializing which in turn builds communities and strengthens guilds! Either way, great vid man. I really wish we could get some housing of some sort! :D

I love your idea for player housing that you must protect, but I wish it'd be tied even closer to the world. For example, if you could actually build houses in a main player city, it'd give incentive to care about your faction when the city is being attacked. And incentive would be given to raid player homes.

Starting new players off in Cataclysm-era zones (which are full of scripted events that technically happened 12 years ago) can be incredibly confusing. They might think that this is the earliest point in the story, even though TBC is actually the earliest available.

The return of Garrisons and personal home setup could work fantastic with Warbands! Get a recrtuitable NPCs from reputations that you have exalted. A small farm from like Pandaria. Little Brawlers Arena to build if you get a good rank in the Brawlers Guild. (Keep the Bank and Auction House out of the Garrison. Otherwise no one would leave their homes... again...) Maybe get occasional radiant quests to help the NPCs you recruited.

There are 3 things that could easily help with the game. Idk if it would fix it our right but it would help imo. 1.) Enhance early game leveling, a complete overhaul similar to a Cata revamp. Things need to be changed and stories need to be finished. 2.) Remove the option to do Chromie leveling until you have a maxed level character on that current realm 3.) Bring back Class quests and, in a similar note, RPG elements Honorable mention: Removing layers

What would also be cool is to give you the option to make your house into a guild hall for Roleplay or something. Giving you an option to make a room in that guild hall to live in. Just make sure you can't do everything in your home.

I like what you're going for with the player housing idea, I think with the PvE mode you were on about there should probably be some kinda currency to repairing your structures, whether that be them making it a gold sink to counteract inflation or they create some other currency for the mode. Permanent destruction I can see being a massive turn off for the mode. I can already see the rage posts from someone's super rare stronghold decoration that dropped from mythic argus getting destroyed by some wolf in a house attack encounter and now they have to go roll the dice with the loot tables again to maybe get that decoration back. That PvP mode sounds super fun though and might actually be the kinda thing that could get me trying out PvP in this game again.

Since the PVE end game tends to revolve around repeating the same dungeons and raids to gear, this can feel a bit stale after a while. Not to mention, when a new season drops, you're just restarting the process on some level, until the xpac is over and it all repeats. I think it would be awesome to have some minor, but still tangible cross-expansion progression. One option might be something like the achievement system, which is already in effect. Achievement points, or something like them, could be converted into a sort of prestige-rank. Your "rank" could display next to all of your characters level on mouse-over, being account bound. Also, similar to the "badass rank" system from borderlands, this rank could confer small permanent stat bonuses which all characters share. Borderlands used a short list where you roll for a small selection of stats to upgrade (5 options out of the number of total options), and you pick one to boost permanently (1.5%-0.5%)

Love the housing! Always loved housing in other mmos, it's damn good to have a base like in GW2, ESO, NW. People love to show off their houses and somewhere to hang out. Dyeing gear, other mmos do it too makes so much sense! same with music. All solid ideas

I think the housing sounds pretty cool. I think it would be cool if you could bring people in your party as long as you’re the party leader into your house and they can interact and walk around and see your house. You can do a lot of role-playing with people coming over and eating dinner at your house or even interacting with that siege on your .house. One rule I would make is not to have any kind of vendors or gameplay NPC or people will have less excuse to go to towns just like mop

I think the Chromie led leveling thing is great, but they'd have to explain _really_ _well_ that this is a one-time, expedited thing otherwise subsequent characters leveled would feel slow and the new player would feel punished for making an alt. And we definitely don't want that. Instead, Blizz would need to be careful to make it clear this is a special gift to a new player to get them up to speed quickly.

In regards to point 1: I feel like the whole dynamic of 'leveling to get to the recent expansion' is out of date. When you are playing Dragonflight, that's the thing players are talking about - and that's what the writers want you to keep in mind. Right now a new player can go from 1-49 in Shadowlands, elarn all of this stuff about the Jailer and Sylvanas and the Covenants, then get to 50 and suddenly all of those character's literally don't matter. Just reset characters to 1 each expansion. Have the new expansion 'be' the leveling experience. In regards to point 2: I just want player housing. None of the other collection methods in world of warcraft excite me anymore - I don't care about new pets, mounts, or titles. Player housing has the potential to be a really cool place for player expression - offering armor stands to show off all of your transmogs in a way that other players can see. There doesn't have to be a RTS minigame attached to it, just let me play Animal Crossing in wow. That's all I need. In regards to point 3: FFXIV does something like this with the adventurer plate. Also you have this sort of 'label yourself' mechanic in games like Master Duel as well. On paper titles 'could' be like this, but titles are usually tied to rewarding challenging content rather then telling the world what sort of player you are like. I wouldn't mind this. I think player housing is 'the most' important feature blizzard can add going forward into the game. It's imperative to the game's long term health.

Do we remember LOAP? Life of a Peasant! You'd start out as a default Warcraft 3 peasant, and your run around town and choose a profession (cop, mafia, mailman, medic, etc) and then you'd do the quests related to your job, until everyone left. And the next game you'd do it all over! It was great! I am saying: let me have a "mundane" job in the game, let me be a mailman that needs to send a letter to that one guy in Outland, that lives in a literal corner of the world (the one that could have been the other son of Tirion Fordring). We need more silly minigames.

Here's my top 3 things 1. Fix the damn lore! (I'd probably say go for a full reboot and then stick to the roots with old established lore) 2. I loved your housing idea so much that I'm actually gonna yoink it lol (otherwise I'd have just said bring back the garrisons but your idea is so much better and more refined) 3. Make the game at least somewhat challenging again! One of the main reasons I love classic leveling is that death is actually a legitimate risk! I'd say all 3 of those are equally important to me, but number 1 is the reason I left retail behind

Player housing would bring me back to retail. With soooo much old world stuff now in game. There is countless amount of ore, trees, dirts, rocks, ect to gather through all the old expansions and raids.

I would absolutely love to have more role-playing options in the game. As someone who know mains a hunter, let me interact with my pet! Let me cuddle it and pet it and all the things. These animals that I’ve tamed have fought with me through a lot, let me interact with them!

OK, hear me out. Beginner story introduction leveling. Alliance: you start as a guard in young Prince Anduins throne room when Onyxia is exposed and you have to help fend off dragonkin, blah blah blah. Chromie then sends you to witness the opening of the Dark Portal and you cross over and fight some demons in TBC, fast forward and you "support" a raid of adventurers defeating Illidan. And you get the idea, just have the player as a background character for the key elements of the game building up to them becoming the "Champion of Azeroth." Player gets to witness the key moments and meet some key characters without just being exposition dumped. Im not saying it perfect, its just a pitch.

Henry Cavill was in an interview I watched on YT not long ago (doesn't mean the interview was not 4 years old) If I remember correctly he said that retail has got away from him and he DID say the max level was like 120 or something(He didn't know) so he sticks with vanilla or van-WotLK because it is too much of a chore to try and understand what is going on. That says a LOT. Fixing the core starting experience really needs to take priority. Image the man who missed his Superman call because he was raiding now feels lost and compare that, to a TRULY New player. Have a great weekend Nixxiom

I like housing thing. But I would make: -Personal house is more like place to chill with your friends, maybe minigames -Guildhalls with pvp sieges amd monsters raids It would add more mmo elements and motivate players to communicate with each other Also, like ideas with personalization. I want to be bard and doing some funny songs

I think the whole problem with the entire leveling experience is that it's built for long-time players and alts. I get that if you've been playing this game for 20 years and you just want to make an alt to raid with, you prefer an expedited leveling experience, and accommodations should be made for those players. The average new player, however, is perfectly happy to take six months to enjoy a gradual journey through the game. Blizzard doesn't need to funnel players straight into the raid a couple of days into their first playthrough the way they are now. This is anecdotal, but the other day in SoD guild chat there was a discussion about leveling where the majority of the online players touted the leveling as their favorite part of the game. Retail has completely let those players down.

The Chromie idea is good but it would have to be carefully crafted story separate from the game until level 60 0r 70 is hit. You cant do a few levels from each expansion then pull the player out. It would have to be a crafted story that goes through each expansion but with its own quest line. otherwise ya got players with quests from every expansion that turn instantly to low level. So that mean no quests form the actual expansions. its gotta be Chromie for 60 to 70- levels until current game. It would be insane though. Start in the original starting zones for like two levels then Chromie totally hijacks your game, appearing where she never did and doing the "The timelines need your help from Zalatath" Then you bounce around Classic for a bit figuring out why Zalatath was there, then you find out where shes going next and Burning Crusade Cinimatic plays. It could be the ultimate nostalgia trip for current players and a summed up trip through the game for new players. However this means that it needs to be seperate from retail with an official hub outside Time. Its gotta carry to 60 or 70 while staying seperate from retail to work. Hearthstones wouldnt work. cant go backwards in your own timeline. If done correctly though it could be one of the best experiences ever.

I like the housing idea but I think it would be better suited as a guild hall, where your guild is tasked with protecting it so it’s more cooperative.

First, I will make raids not drop gear and weapons, but drop soul-bound materials that crafters can then turn into weapons and gear via player-to-player trade. This will include a new box, similar to the "not to be traded" box, but for crafting. This change will put crafters at the top of the food chain again. Second, Add a new tower with 100 floors that includes every major elite and raid boss from all the old content. Level 1 will start with Hogger. Each floor bracket will be divided by old professions; for example, floors 1-10 will be classic. Crafters can then use old materials from these floors to craft the maximum version of old gear that will be equivalent to raid level. This will make leveling up the professions important again. Thirdly, I will add PvP power to all PvP gear and PvE power to all PvE gear. I don’t think people focusing on mythic raiding should be able to enter PvP and win at all, and the same goes for raids. If I want to raid in PvP gear, then the best I should be able to achieve is mythic dungeons, and for PvE gear, the equivalent should be battlegrounds

So, I dunno if someone mentioned a particular thing that was introduced in WoD (yippee) But a method of being able to restore professions at any time or transfer that to another character like account wide progress for professions, if not being able to learn more than two since a majority is cosmetic or gathering with production, like potions. or return the 280% speed and that replaces the 150% instead so that flying is still nice and swift, One more thing I would say that should be part of a feeling is more transmog options and not to be tied to plate, cloth, leather, or mail since it's a cosmetic thing and doesn't change much, since a lot of gear looks well on characters and classes I would like to goof around with like the t2 recolor paladin to just throw spells or gunsling, as my main few ideas. or an idea to change your class not on the fly within limitations like most rpgs had, to be able to have a unique history with the character, like a priest becomes a "necromancer"(DK) with some unique quests. (speaking of they need to give more options for the Deathknight eyes kinda tired of being stuck with the Frozen gaze.)

Here my ideas to "fix" WoW 1 - Leveling Remove all the time travel thing on leveling, chromie time is kind of ok, but is really confusing for new players. Transform all "quest hubs" in Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms (and maybe Northrend and Pandaria) in to Garrisons 2.0 totally customizable. Buildings that you want there, walls, the way the building looks, customizable NPCs, trophies and some more miscellaneous features. Make the patterns and contracts obtainable as rare drops, calendar events, quest rewards, etc. Even the itens that the NPCs can sell have to be earned from the player around the world, everything has to be obtainable instead of given for free. Make the itens need to build and modify the buildings obtainable by professions and loot, and put a way from the Garrison owners "buy" the items from players that are leveling, the way to pay for the itens are based on gold, xp or items, the leveling player can just chose what they want as reward; This way players can level up their character with a reason to level up their professions, and give meaning to them. Make those Garrisons as quest hubs for leveling, where the garrison owners create quests. and edit the rewards (with caution to not create something broken oc). Also make a rating system based on looking, fidelity, activity for the players have more chance to enter in the instanced Garrisons that are more well rated. Also make a way to search and lock the Garrisons to aways enter in the same instance. You also can make PvE events from time to time with enemy raids in the Garrisons and PvP between Alliance and Horde Garrisons in the same area. 2 - Player Housing The item 1 fits very well for this topic 3 - Fix the end game The item 1 also fits very well in this topic, but theres so much more potential that they can work. The end game is totally based on gear, it's PvP, Raid, M+ and thats it. It's 2024, the game needs to evolve to catch peoples attention, and the worst part is the game is totally based on gear that you get and replace after some months. Create some guild ships, where you can battle in the seas agains other guilds, provide transport services as RP r even a mechanic that needs it. Even fight against world bosses, face storms whrilwinds, customize the ship with cannons, different flags, protection parts. Pick the dynamic flying that is awesome and create some ranked player vs player races like Crash Team Race or Mario Kart, where you get power ups in the race and have fun. Make some caravan events to travel from one place to another, where players can deffend or assault them. There's so many cool things they can work on it, that when I think what WoW could be I feel disapointed.

While I did like Mage Tower Challenge, Torghast, and Island Expeditions, I preferred Horrific Visions and Withered Army Training, since you could gear up. So I'm very happy for Delves.

World quest dailies at end game in all zones, not just the latest expansion zones. Give us good reasons to go back to Westfall, Desolace, Thousand Needles, Wetlands…especially if our personal housing/garrisons are around the world.

My idea for early leveling. Blizzard should hire Nobbel and make a optainable xompanion. When you summon him you can interact with him and listen to the lore while casually leveling. That would be awesome. And you know what would be even more awesome? Warcraft leveling zone with nixxiom and moocluck voice acting the zone. Or maybe an entire expansion?

I'll bite Nixxiom 1.) Quests should have some sort of way to flag chronology. New players get bombarded with so many max level quests in places like Valdrakken, and even veterans that weren't keeping up with Dragonflight can get a bit lost for a second. With this system, you can have a way to see that a "Lore shield" quest is 10.0, 10.0.5, 10.2, 11.1, etc and even retroactively (though I think Dragonflight has been the most daunting for this). This would make most players more focus on gear and efficiency to only focus on the latest ones while more story driven players can do them in order with far less confusion. 2.) Generally speaking, getting rid of content is always a bad idea and some things should return. I understand why seasonal titles (and by extension things like gladiator mounts or ahead of the curve feats of strength) cannot be obtained after the main patch it's from and I'm not advocating for that. What I am advocating for is never getting rid of the Wrathion quest line in MoP, the Brawler's Guild, Battle for the Undercity from Wrath, and several other things. The way they handled the Mage Tower is a perfectly acceptable solution, though I would prefer it just not being deleted at all. Many of these things don't feel like the traditional seasonal content that we've grown accustomed to and can catch players off guard if they're not perpetually keeping track of blue posts and news (which is a lot of players honestly). It makes some story beats really confusing for newer players that care about lore (and yes, they do exist). How did Jaina get saved from Torghast? Nowadays, who knows since you don't save her anymore and that content is completely gone. They have the technology to cater to both camps of convenience versus lore for this. If you make a character that has done the main Dragonflight campaign, you can go to the Obsidian Overlook the moment you get to the Dragon Isles and ask to skip to where Sabellian and Wrathion are atop the Obsidian Throne. You can implement this for Torghast or many other things so you can skip to farming OR experience the whole story. 3.) The top players of the world are going to clear Mythic raid in one or two weeks. The top dungeon players are going to get hero in a matter of days. This will happen despite Blizzard's ever increasing ilvl jumps between seasons. It used to be tiers were only 19 ilvls apart, and now we're jumping 39 in order to make sure the high end players still have to gear and make progression interesting. I think this creates a secondary stat problem on the two ends of any given expansion with tier 1 being hilariously low and season 4 being ludicrously high, both strongly impacting how you play the class. If it was a bit more smooth like in earlier wow, I think you could still progress your characters and feel stronger as the expansion unfolds without having tier 1 feel like a desert and season 4 busting certain classes. To those that think this really doesn't affect you, this huge stat (and most importantly secondary stat) inflation is what leads to tuning needing to be so spiky. When healers and tanks become so powerful, the only threatening thing is to kill everyone near instantly with most every mechanic. I think this is legitimately hurting wow

RPH and Epsilon is proof you could easily have player housing and decorated land. They just need to build a player friendly interface than having it done with commands like in those private servers.

I like the idea of a main storyline, recapping the main events of the expansion. You could do an ending cinematic before transitioning into the next xpac, but I do feel like they'd have to slow down leveling to fit a lot of things in there and try not to give away a lot of future narratives, because when you look at expansions you see things like Illidan, Arthas, Deathwing. But the overarching narrative of Azeroth, Titans, and Old Gods is a majority of the time overlooked or ignored by the playerbase.

So as a leveling enjoyer myself I love your first idea and we know Blizzard is able to do that since they created the timewalking questline with murlocs and old varian. For your second idea I don't think player housing will be a thing, they tried in WoD, it didn't work. Even so I think it's cool and maybe if they give us WoD classic/remix/remastered they could at least experiment things and let players decide whether it's good or not. For your third idea I think the RPG element is definitively lacking and maybe they could add some silly spells for some classes I think they should focus on improving gameplay first and Asmon's ideas seem good : 40 man raid means less impact if there are noobs in the raid, less difficulty means less elitism and no addons means Blizzard have to implement what addons do into the game. Also, less spells in basic rotation means better gameplay for new players and high skill cap for good players. However I think they shouldn't remove difficulty in the game, but they could scrap the "more difficulty = better loot" idea and instead emphasize cosmetic rewards a LOT. For example, stupidly good looking mounts and transmogs, titles etc... Normal raid difficulty could have the best ilvl gear in the current patch and heroic and mythic mode could have a buff so it can compensate for the lack of stats. You could enable the buff or not and maybe earn unique titles or/and mounts if you don't use the buff.

For fixing the early game, this could be a replacement for the level 70 boost. It would give faster leveling and allow you to learn your new abilities on the alt/main.

i dont have 3 ideas and im not much of a raider or pvper im just a collector of mounts pets tmog and titles! and the one thing i would really love is a way to add titles to your Tmog sets you create i know its not that big of a dral for allot of people but i feel like for me i hate having to change to my firelord title every time i use my fire gear or my Winter's Envoy title when i wear a frost set its nothing that fancy but just being able to make customizing your character alittle bit easier would be nice!

I've never played WoW before and I think the Chromie Time quest chain idea is a pretty good idea. If it ever came to consoles, having the option to get a lore recap/explaination from Chromie would be helpful for those wanting to get into the game and get a general feel/gist for the WoW lore/story.

In vanilla You used to be able to kill animals for meat or fish and feed your pet to keep it happy better it was fed the better it worked for you if you failed to feed it, It ran away and you lost it for good, Then again there were hunter pets that were rare or hard to get and had better skills all taken out of the game made being a hunter more fun and more realistic... Using a gun used bullets a bow arrows you needed to buy or get from a crafter made it more realistic. Each class of player had something you needed to get from an NPC trader or crafter which made the game more realistic, In many ways, the game has been so dumbed down, Pvp ranks were taken away which for BG was fun and hard to gain lvl, If you was casual pvp'er you could so easy just jump into a BG for a bit of fun, then arena gear came and once you had that casual jumping from pve to pvp stopped as you knew a guy with Areana gear would dominate and the fun was gone, So I see many changes for the worse since vanilla as a MMORPG player.

1 - remove item levels entirely. all of it. make the entire game about skill instead of stats. let's make the whole "why do you need gear if you don't raid?" argument the basis for everything and everyone. 2 - remove all lockouts and timegating from dungeon/quest/daily/world quest/timed event/etc. everything is available at all times wihtout restriction, if it has any restriction it must be removed without question or exeptions. 3 - remove all currencies of all kinds entirely. everything should be bought and sold with gold and only gold without exceptions.

1. Having just listened to Day9 try out WoW and comment how he was lost on the story and didn't care at all about the characters, I think a Chromietime catch up campaign for new players would be great. 2. Turning player housing into its own minigame sounds really fun. I love the idea of a tower defense minigame, with your house literally on the line. 3. Adding simple RP tools to the UI would be a big bonus. I'm not much of an RP'er but just adding some stuff that makes you feel like you live in the world. That's something games like Skyrim do very well. I really like your Bard idea.

I suggested on the forums: WoW Tokenless Servers Servers without cross-server functionality The above combined Hide Pants Body Shape Customization Allowing you to use the animations of a different race including combat animations CASTING SPELLS FROM OUR WEAPON (Wands and Held-In-Off-Hands haven't seen the light of day in YEARS MAN) Worgen druid forms being wolves (And their bear form having the animations and shape of the big hulk druid bear but it's a big werewolf) Bring back guild talent trees Allow you to continue gaining experience at level cap and every time you fill it up you get 1 of a currency that can be used for mounts, cosmetics, etc. and even gear or gold (this allows rested state or XP related racial abilities to continue being useful at cap) Redo Lightforge Draenei racials New animations for Void Elf, Dark Iron Dwarves, Mechagnomes, etc. (any mirror-faction race) so they have their own unique run/walk/stand/jump/combat animations like Nightborne got RP animations like wall leaning, different ground sits, hug, facepalm, etc. The ability to just pick an animation from a list of animations your character can do (talk, laugh, point, train, etc) and just play the animation with no text or sound effect Let us transmog the crafting equipment (I WANT THOSE INSCRIPTION GLASSES DAMMIT) Hide Pants (I have suggested this multiple times) Remember Mount Equipment? I FUCKIN DO. "Mount Equipment: Rainbow Generator / X-52 Jet Propulsion / Nightfae Sapling: These give your ground mounts the ability to fly, with a trail of Rainbow / Fire / Blue Glowy beneath them." LET ME FLY ON MY GROUND MOUNTS. FFXIV LETS YOU.

Nix: "How i would fix WoW." -Idea 1- Me: "Oh ok, yeah thats pretty cool." Nix: "Idea 2, player housing." We're cooked.

I couldn't agree more about the rpg elements. I think with the changes to m+, raids, the rated battlegrounds changes, and now delves-they have a really good base to work with moving forward for battle content. Working on things like player housing, making crafting and gathering more in depth, and adding things like a bard profession, will really help round out the game to make it a better overall experience. I would be surprised if they weren't working on some of that already with this new trajectory they seem to want to take with the game.

In addition to the account-wide progression for everything coming with the next expansion, I'd also allow unlimited professions for each character, just like how you can level up all of the gathering and crafting jobs on a single character in FFXIV. Then just make it as long to level to max level as any of the other combat classes. Make WoW professions equal to WoW classes. Alternatively, make it possible to level a new character's profession fully without doing any combat. I just want an option to do all the progressions and specialize in just one combat class.

I think every expansion should be kinda self enclosing and have a summary of what you need for the expansion. Every expansion should have a new levelling option related to the expansion, with the option to do old missions if the areas conlide. Having to level every alt the same way is boring so you dont make that many alts. Options for levelling would be best. Endgame relliance has proven to be bad since content is finite (delve might be a solution, at least is a good idea) but having tools for custom dungeons even without reward, and at the end of each week or month a new CHOSEN DUNGEON chosen by then or the community actually gives you some random goods after doing it, would solve the problem. More modes or random minigames (some are crazy for pet battle, things like that would be great, like actual heartstone inside taverns, being able to throw darts, or something like that). GW 2 has shown that jumping puzzles might be fun. Some sort or racing game could be fun. More options when making equipments, let us make some good looking shit, reduce the amount needed to level up and make drops to create then rarer. Stuff like class quests, rogues making venoms, is fun. Being able to make music would be cool.
