You need to clear all Sidequests befor you can go to the next expansion.

Dialogue options have an impact on other characters, but are3 as vague as they can get.

For players that aren't in for the story, they need to play through the entirety of Hydaelyn/Zodiark before getting access to Dawntrail, unless they pay for a skip.

In order to reduce server load and increase space in the database and armory gloves and chest armor as well as boots and leg armor are getting combined into single items.

Or just use the Blade & Soul "All your stats come off accessories" and relegate armor to "it looks pretty" <except for Gloves and Belt, for some odd reason>

Add a daily fatigue system that affects all aspects of the game. Crafting is affected by fatigue, gathering is affecting by fatigue, teleporting is affected by fatigue, combat is affected by fatigue, etc.

All DoW auto-attacks use the Intelligence stat.
All spells cost TP.

Give WAR the ability to raise. Not tanks. Just WAR.

• Every skill, spell, and ability except for your level 1 damaging spell/skill can only be used 100 times before it breaks and can no longer be used.
  
  
• Broken skills, spells, and abilities can be repaired by logging offline in an area that gives rested XP; one ability is repaired (and set back to 100 uses) per 15 minutes logged out.
  
  
• Skills, spells, and abilities cannot be pre-emptively repaired; they must break before they can be repaired that are broken can be repaired in this way.
  
  
• If multiple skills, spells, or abilities are broken, they are repaired in alphabetical order, regardless of the class that owns them.

Job Stones have 3 charges. You use one charge per duty. Afterwards the stone goes on cooldown until the following day and you're downgraded to just your class. Jobs without a base class become unplayable. You can still queue up for whatever as just your class... if you want.

Two ideas:

1. After you are inducted into the Scions, if you are outside where you need to be for your MSQ, you will receive periodic linkpearl calls every ~15 minutes prompting you to complete your current story quest. The character that contacts you will be different depending on what part of the story you're on (e.g. Minfilia, Alphinaud, Tataru).

2. Similar to the above, but with a personal assistant mammet that reminds you to do daily/weekly content and challenges. All of it.
