I'm in favor for all of those points as well, but honestly its not gonna happen. Fanfest will just show off the jobs, little hints on the story, and more hit/miss content probably similar to diadem/palace of the dead. It would be nice if set bonuses started up again since they were in 2.0 GC stuff. Even if its just a boost to secondary stats, it would be progress.
I missed this interview but that is sad to read. He also said 4.0 will be bringing "something new and never seen before" so its anyone's guess what that could mean. And we also know that jobs are being pruned and simplified.
