Extreme Primals - I'm excited for this. Hopefully they won't get taken down so easily.
Crystal Tower - I already fear the queue times. Hopefully it won't be bad and hopefully the dungeon itself will be fun. It gives me a chance to finally play as something else besides BLM
Housing - Not sure how I feel about it because I'm still not sure how it works. I like the idea of owning a house for the FC, but how will it work exactly? Can the entire FC be in the house at once? In the same instance?
Daily quests - Again...I'm not sure how this works. If if it works the same way it did in TERA, then I'm actually going to be excited for it. Doing daily quests for beastmen coins to purchase vanity items would be cool. Maybe minions, or a set of gear related to the beastmen you're getting it from. I won't hold my breath though. And I hope they bring back those stronghold bosses
Moogle fight - It was my favorite fight in 1.xx. I hope it changed for the better due to the new mechanics in ARR. Even though I have my relics, I still want those moogle weapons!
PvP - The videos make PvP seem really, really, really boring. No cool mechanics, a small arena, slow ass fights, and small parties. We'll see though! The only PvP I ever enjoyed were the ones in RIFT and Guild Wars 2. RIFT because it felt a bit chaotic and fast paced. GW2 because of the mechanics and the sheer chaos. Never really got into other MMOs so I can't comment on those.
New dungeon and hard mode dungeons - Kind of looking forward to them, but not really. Aside from furniture items, there is nothing in them I'd want.
MVP - w/e it's called now. Seems cool on paper, but I see it being executed poorly.
Vote to Kick - I hated this feature in TERA..I can already see tanks saying "oh so this dungeon requires ilvl 60, but you're only wearing ilvl 60 gear? Guys, kick this clown or I will leave" *gets kicked*. That happened to me way too often in TERA, lol. Hopefully it won't be the same in ARR.
Treasure Hunting - If it works by making actually you do a bit of hunting for the treasure instead of finding a map that basically says "go here and mine at this node to get a crap reward!" then I'm all for it.
aesthetician and proper item sort feature - THE HYPE CANNOT BE CONTAINED!!! YOU CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND!

There's an awful lot of ifs and buts in there though!

There's no denying it could turn out a bit rubbish, but people should try and keep an open mind. I see people slating features such as PvP and the new dungeons without even playing it yet.

I just think everyone should at least give it a chance before deciding there's nothing there for them

I myself, am I really enjoying the more laid back approach to progression, as progressionists are usually elitists and elitists are the ones that are littering the forums with "QQ I QUIT" threads. I've played hours every day since launch and I only have one job at 50. I leisurely get my mouth cap every week while running fc buds through whatever they need, help gather for my master crafter leader, work on leveling this or that for whatever cross class ability. I think 2.1 will have more than enough to Tide me over til 2.2 so much crystal tower to do for gearing other classes and so much decorating of our shiny new fc house to do. And then I get to go smack some other players around in pvp ? All I've got to say is thank you dev team. Let the elitists go get back on the wow progression escalator. Guess what's at the top of it? Another escalator!

Not sure if posted but does anyone know what the crystal tower armor will look like? I saw the tank picture on another thread, but haven't seen anything else
