Small things...small things...

Adding shading to the linkshell badge. It would take all but a few seconds to put an aesthetic gleam on one end and a shadow other to make it look three dimensional. Also add a few more colors not so primary, or allow a color slider. The primary colors plus zero shading when all of the other icons are so well designed and pretty make the badges by comparison look very bad.

Would be nice if canceled or interrupted spells didn't have a failed/finished cast animation. It adds unnecessary time to trying to pick the spell you had intended or change your mind. Course I hear that the system and perhaps the animation will be different in 2.0 so this may be moot.

Npc houses. The cities feel kinda artificial without anything really demonstrating pedestrian life. Really the only buildings are guilds and maybe a shop or two. I miss being able to go into an npc's house that can be used for various quests to learn about that family, or visit a farm outside of town. More structures are needed that are not actually, well, needed for anything in particular other than just to exist for variety sake. I'm not sure if that qualifies as a "small" thing though.
