I have dreamed of duties for crafters where there is some kind of competition like Iron Chef. Only it's not a real competition and you get rewarded individually by the quality and quantity of what you can produce in a given time limit (perhaps with given ingredients as well). When I started writing this I realized there is a possibility of a duty for gatherers as well, something like a large scale multi-person leve. It would be quite easy to write lore for these duties, say, there is a Ul'Dahn bake sale or a Gridanian Arts & Crafts Boutique. Or Amajina And Sons needs a large quanity of ore from Copperbell to fulfill an order for the Brass Blades. Perhaps the original shipment was stolen, irretrievable, and they need more to fulfill the order in record time. They could have very easily written these duties with proper lore into the main story line too. Imagine all the crafting and gathering that was required to make the Sail Barge for Leviathan! A duty sure would have been a heck of a lot more fun than "Go here and inspect the cargo." Surely my talents could have been put to better use than "count the number of logs in the pile"...?
