I guess I'm only really interested in teasers of the next patch. They have done a "what does the future hold" live letter before, when they talked about the future graphics update at the start of Endwalker, but I am not sure if they are doing that again or not.
  • We know that job identity will probably be reviewed for the next expansion and we know that they are considering ideas such as Skill Trees, Ability Points and Talents instead of leveling further. Much as I'd like to know more, I don't expect to until near 8.0.
  • They have explained how they balance PvP - they just look at if any single job doesn't have a 50% win rate, and alter it to be more or less powerful based on that. They might eventually see information about a meta and address it but otherwise I expect they will just continue doing that.
  • It would be interesting if they would talk about healers; maybe someday? But the extra attack or effects they got every 2 minutes seemed like their response to the feedback. They tried making healing tougher in Abyssos and then there were complaints of "healers avoid PF".
  • I think we will see information in one of these live letters about the graphics update coming in 7.1 to older assets and perhaps more things having dual dyes. If we're honest, I doubt hats are more on their agenda than in the past but you never know.
  • Maybe someday they will talk about zones being more lively in the way people say GW2 is, but I also think they believe they are lively: they added The Hunt, Treasure Maps and Sightseeing logs back in ARR to give us reason to return to the zones and gathering is already a reason. They have worked hard to make FATEs relevant again by adding Bicolor Gemstone rewards so now people farm in them a lot. Maybe they finally got it right because the farming hasn't entirely dropped off and it has been a while.
  • Would like lots of QoL, inventory mergers, merging menus, houses in Island Sanctuary, and things like that. I expect we will get several QoL in each major patch like we have been, but I wish they went further with it and really addressed every QoL issue people have such as weaving abilities at high pings. Not expecting more than several random QoL, a raid planner and Chat Bubbles though to be honest.
If they said no when they plan to do it in the future, that would be lying. Typically when they say they will do something, they do. You can look at a lot of things we've got and then trace back a year or few prior to find where Yoshi-P hinted they were working on it. Reading back old live letters or interviews you can see foreshadowing of what came sometimes over a year later.
