I would have the devs maintain the course and direction that they have already set, whatever that may turn out to be. I believe they've made too many compromises on the behalf of players/fans/media, between versions 1.0 and 2.0.

An example of what I mean would be what happened to gathering, which before comprised of some actual gameplay. Well a lot of people complained about it being too random, time consuming, and should not be skill-based. So now we have something that requires no effort other than taxing on our self-motivation to not give in to the boredom. It feels more time consuming now than it ever did.

Now that's not to say I don't enjoy or like this game in its current iteration, because I do. I'm having fun. Do I miss some things from version 1.0? Hell yea.

Nonetheless, it's not my game, it's the devs' game. I'm more interested in what they do with it, rather than dwelling on what was, or what I think should be.
