Things you DON'T want to see in Stormbringer..

Dump the near-impossible MSQ solo instances like "The Will of the Moon" Or, at least, let us resume them after the last stage completed, instead of having to do them over and over again from the start. Imagine if you had to start a dungeon or raid over from the beginning every time you died (wipe or not)..

Stroooongly disagree.

In dungeons and other group content, I like the current level of difficulty and I don't mind that players have the ability to carry each other if someone is underperforming slightly. It would be an exercise in frustration if peak performance was required of everyone at all times outside of Savage content.

However, the game needs to also have git-gud-checks, like Will of The Moon, where individual players are required to display a bare minimum of competence to proceed, so that, as the complexity and difficulty of content increases, they don't go into group content expecting to get carried all the time.

Female-only Viera. Or gender-locked races for that matter. Welp, RIP that dream.
Eureka-type content, and if there has to be, then no locking items behind unreasonable layers of RNG.
Staggering content over multiple "mini-patches" as often as they've been doing.
Robes for casters and healers
Solo duties at the beginning of the MSQ that bottleneck players (i.e. Raubahn Savage 2.0)
The WoL - er - WoD not doing any morally-ambiguous/anti-hero things.

IMO that was basically what Steps of Faith was in HW at launch and Shinryu normal on SB launch were as well. However too many people didn't want to "git-gud" so SE catered to them and nerfed the duties which personally made things worse for the rest of us in the long run... >.>

- Determination of stats at random on the 5.0 "relic" weapons...just no, that was not a good idea. I am perfectly content with a grind if it means it gives me the stats I want. Yes I'm aware the "substat potential" is higher and the fact all the points can go to one stat even to compensate for the random element, but I don't like "potential" on a weapon of this type (because it can go good and bad). I like the ability to customize to guarantee what I want in the end and I hope that comes back.
- Only having one type of content to work on said weapons (I don't mind Eureka THAT much, tho I do mind that it was the only method).
- ShB "relic" steps being introduced late. Anemos didn't come until patch 4.25. HW weapons started in... patch 3.15 if I recall right, so that was still during the first raid tier.
- Any dungeons/trials without an item level requirement.

Wait, when did they nerf Shinryu? I know it goes faster now, but that's because we hilariously outgear it.

The hempen sets shouldn't have race specific models. Make them all craftable under whatever names (Hempen Tee, Camise, and so forth) and put them in the same crafting log section they're already in and whatever vendors sell them.

There's already like eight Boarskin Ringbands of X and a dozen different circlets with no difference except a minor cosmetic one since elemental resistance was removed, so what is the harm?

they did say they would unlock the hempen sets for all when that will actually happen who knows

[Nyxn607]

I want to see people not lose their minds over things they can't control. I.E. gender locked races, a new job role that wasn't expected ... etc.

One can only hope.

Things I don't want to see in this expansion?

The dev team continuing to stretch themselves thin with the release of unpolished content that feels like an afterthought, rather than something from the group that brought us ARR out of the ashes of 1.0.

Pace yourselves, for crying out loud.
