If you had a magic wand and could add three things, what would it be?

[Bobby66]

1) A well thought-out and well written story for the MSQ (I'd have my own biases for what it'd be about but I'll leave it vague for the sake of anyone who wouldn't want those specific topics)

2) A better high-end gearing system

3) More raiding content of some kind (Extreme or Savage)

Out of curiosity what would that be? I personally find the MSQ story enjoyable but it does feel not very thought out at times.

Would your story tackle more mature themes?

Aye, a better gearing system also would be interesting, more build diversity in the form of gearing options would be fun.

Yes, and a lot of the annoying 'comic relief' would be taken out as well. It'd be written much more like HW/SHB than EW.

It probably would be focused either on Garlemald and/or the Ancients, and if I picked either, they'd be treated with a lot more respect than Endwalker gave them. Sadly there's not a huge amount left to do with Garlemald as 6.0/6.x wasted a lot of the opportunities that could have been done with that, so if I could, a lot of 6.0/6.x would be getting retconned too to both make new story writing opportunities with wasted areas and to try and repair the damage it did to the lore. If doing so would consume one of my three magic wand wishes, I'll give up my original #3 to instead retcon 6.0/6.x.

Oh yeah HW was far from perfect but overall the story felt the most fleshed out.

That does sound interesting.
