Eureka Vote

I liked that step back then. It was a bit long but it gave me a reason to do something that nothing else did : Create a team of very different players from my FC where a group worked towards a common goal.
DoW/M escorted DoL in Diadem, who then gives materials to DoH, who created specialist items for DoW/M.
We even spend some of our FC funds to make sure our crafters and gatherers have the best gear to facilitate every step...

They really need to encourage more of this thing. Crafting and gathering are there, and you've got a wide open continent in Eureka. Integrate them into it and give groups something more ways to accomplish stuff.
