What's your daily life would look like in an MMO of your dream?

I'll start with what I really would like to do in an MMORPG:

1- Doing crazy long story missions that would last 6+ months (some solo/some with group of 4-6 people and some epic 12+ people) that involve killing bosses and nice cutscene in it.

2- Running after my job's specific gear that involve gathering/crafting/solo bosses/ and group dungeons, with a story behind each and every part of my set.

3- Monthly events that would involve solo/group activities, and takes between 2-3 days to hunt monsters and group craft an item that in the end it means something to someone.

4- Dynamic huge world quests that force people to group up in large numbers to defend a city or take down a dragon.

5- Exploring sky/underwater cotenant with breath taking graphics of waterfalls and nice clouds.

All the things I said above do exist in different MMO'S, but not all of them in one MMO'.

I hope FFXIV would achieve this one day, and hope it's very soon.
I like your 2 and 5 but the time constraints on your three is useless to me. I would love to see group crafting but it doesn't need to take days. I would like group crafting to be similar to battlecraft endgame. It takes more time (hour or so) but the rewards are unique to the activity. Definitely don't need anything to last longer than a typical gaming session 2-6 hours.

To compromise, I'd love to be able to make a house for my linkshell. If all of the separate components took 2-3 hour "runs" to make then putting them all together once you had them took 2-3 hours I'd be okay with that, but all in all I'm not a big fan of tedious time sinks. Short stages is fine, but tedious time sinks are not fun to me.

I'll come back later with my list of five things but I wanted to get that off the top of my head while it was still fresh. Again, I like your 2 and 5 and the general enthusiasm of your post. It definitely moves the conversation forward.
