I hope they tweak squadrons.

I think it would be cool if the Grand Company was reworked a bit so that you get the option to recruit 4 NPC squad members pretty soon after joining, as a bit of an incentive for this rare new primal slayer to stick with them.

You would recruit NPCs as you do now, with all sorts of different race, class, and personality combos. They'd level with the MSQ, could be selected as options in the duty support menu, would get different little dialogues depending on personality, and could be glammed at the squad HQ.

Give the whole squad a squad level, sending them out on independent missions levels up that side of them, and combined with increasing your GC rank and unlocking more recruits, would be how you'd get the squadron rewards.

Basically, squads would be extra customization for duty support, with some additional rewards for engaging with it beyond that. I think it would fit well with the streamlining and single player support they're introducing for ARR and earlier expansions.
