I definitely support the spirit of this post and most of the ideas, despite my fear of getting hooked on casino-style games. I think I would like to see these things start around housing and I like most of the suggestions here. Being able to set up my own craft workshop, have a garden and then travel round the world to collect plants that I can grow, have a pen where I can keep pets that I catch.

Since I finished collecting my set of luminary tools yesterday (Couldn't help myself from sneaking that in...) I would definitely like more challenges around crafting/gathering. Just like a bestiary I would like a book of botany/mining/fishing (That might technically be bestiary I guess), where I could try to log every type of tree, harvest every flower, mine every mineral and so on. Obviously I would then also like to see some new trees/plants etc introduced, some of them quite rare, perhaps flowers that only bloom under certain conditions.
