I finally figured out what has been bothering me when I look around town and see players standing around robotically - there are no idle animations! Sure, our characters stand still and breathe rhythmically, but... they just stand there.

One of the many reasons I disliked SWTOR was because characters just stood there. In Guild Wars 2 when idle, my engineer would pull out his pistols and start twirling them around, and in WoW my elf would randomly peer about. Even a fast-paced action game like Warframe eventually added idle animations because no one liked our crazy ninjas just standing still. These random animations just made the characters feel more personable and well, animated.

Obviously designing idles would be a lot of work, but I think they would add a lot of life and flavor to our characters (moreso than a race-unique /doze animation you can only use inside of housing...). Simple un-dramatic little things like looking around, stretching a shoulder, dusting off their shirts, scratching their butts/tail whatever.

Of course gameplay improvements are more important, but please consider adding these down the line.
