Yeah, here are a few changes I'd love to see either SE or Team Yoshi to consider:
- You know those pegs that stick out of the hostelry in Kugane,and also the mini-tower in Shirogane? I'd like those around the Shiro Castle Walls, or even a variation of them, so that we can climb to the roof.
- More job bardings. I would love, for instance, to put a Barding Barding on the bardy bird that accompanies my Bard all of the birding place.
- A toggle for those mount speeds we got in SB. Sure, they're great to have, but some places are better or more easily enjoyed when we can choose our pace at which to move. Some sightseeing vistas in ARR zones come to mind, though I have them all, for how easy or hard they are now thanks to the high mount speeds; but I have not fully tested this myself. (On the other hand, there's one spot I cannot get to any more since I go too fast on mount, but too slow if I sprint for it)
- To SE in particular: Give Yoshi more resources and more people so that he can better meet the demands of both the fans and himself alike.
- The ability to add alt characters to a list of mail recipients, so that none of us have to rely on friends or FC chests to move items between our own characters on the same server.
- More achievements for completing quests in various areas. Someone mentioned something to this effect already and I agree. I'm not asking for anything quite like Loremaster chievos in Warcraft, but certainly a little incentive or pat on the back for cleaning those many, many quests off of our maps even after we've out-leveled them by a large margin.
- Just a simple means to climb out of the swimmable water in Lavender Beds right next to plots 15 or 45. From the corner of my plot I can easily hop into the water, but I have to go a ways to climb out again right now, with the shortest being a land bridge that seems like a short distance at first glance until you see how far out of the way you'd have to go to return to the same plot. It can be a rock, it can be a foothold at the bottom of that stream; just a little something to climb out to make it more convenient please.
- Cooking recipes for pizza and waffles. mmm waffles...
- Adjust the drop rates for the minions in Weeping City and Dun Scaithe, please. Not just for me, as I need the adorable Scathach minion, but for everyone who still needs or wants either one of them. Now's the best time while people still run the Alliance Raid roulette for exp, because chances are that improving those rates when the popularity of the roulette comes down--at this point I'm only guessing that will happen in a couple months from now, but I can offer no reliable proof--won't do much good to liven up those raids again.
- On a humorous note, prank everyone by putting an echo in the ARR dungeons for anywhere between a day or three, just to see how people would react to it, all for the sake of a fun, somewhat prankster-driven experiment. I know I'd laugh. Or heck, make it part of an event.
- Speaking of events, can we get more in the residential zones please? My first Starlight was the one with those trees in everyone's yard, and I kind of enjoyed the idea, even though I'm not sure if many people socialized with their neighbors as a result. Actually I have an idea in mind, despite the fact that the person(s) working on the seasonal stuff is probably done with this year's Starlight already: turn our residential wards into a pvp zone for snowball fights, and have some sort of in-ward FATE-like event for building or combating a snowman (with said snowball fighting). How amazing would this be? Heck, make a separate pvp instance (or I guess four) based on the residential zones, where we get to do these things.
- Please more fully-interactive whodunnit/mystery type of quest lines.
