Things I think need fixing up or changed.

I can agree to some of the points. Mage gear looks crap. 90% of it, no matter if below or at or higher than Level 50. Not only crap but even embarrasing sometimes. I always thought it's the developpers way to force people into levelling even faster so they can put something on they like lol. And Vanity does not help that much on your way to 50 because you can't project an item with higher Level on your base item.

I also find the aggroing and Heavy effect terribly annoying. Below Level 50, all enemies leave you alone as soon as you are out of their level (10 levels above or something). But there is no comparison of Item Level sadly. You are Level 50, they are Level 45, ATTACK! When I am doing my beastmen quests, I kill more random mobs that annoy me with their Aggro than mobs I have to kill to fulfill my quests. BTW, OP: to one of your problems (9), there is a solution. In the settings there is one checkbox where you mark enemies automatically when they aggro you. Uncheck this and you can use the map and it only brings the map up.

Rest of what you said is learning and timing, most of it at least. Slightly annoying for sure here and there but for most of the points you have mentioned, there is a workaround or they fall into the category "learn to live with them".
