Great post OP, I'm in favor of randomized builds. It's tiring facing the same old build. So seeing something like this would be great.

randomized monster skills would promote balanced, versatile groups instead of one trick pony gimmicks which abuse static AI... I support 100%.

Will it happen? I can almost guarantee the answer is no.

Ramdomized skills? good, it would be nice, maybe this could be a HM feature. With unknown builds on the foes, there is fewer space for cookie cutter builds. Groups will have to be prepared for everything: Spiking, Pressure, Hex, Conditions, and so son..

Tolkano skins? nice idea. Even in PVP they're should be at lower cost, Zcoin wise. Its pretty stupid pay over 30 silver zcoin for a single, non exotic skin. Maybe there should be a crossover-like feature that could allow these to be bought in PVP and brought to PVE.

Community ideas? Sure. And to avoid spamming ANets office with garbage, there should be a system where the fanbase could vote for the best, and only then, these should be taken to the appreciation of ANET. The community itself would tell what they want to see ingame.

Targeted loot: hm...well, I agree we need nicer shinnies..its like...it becomes quickly frustrating to roam to a zone, killing dozens of foes and get crappy skin, non-max, white stuff as boss drop. I believe there should be better rewards outsite elite areas. Theres no reason to get a bigger challenge with the rewards we already have.

PVE Skills - I dont see they need some change right now.

The only thing I really dislike on these is that change primaries stuff. It simply doesn't make any sense at all.

I really enjoyed reading the topic post. Good job, there are alot of creative ideas there.

I like the idea of having more random skins dropping and random skill bars for foes. And, the whole recycling thing got me thinking. Wouldnt it be nice if you could take the Henchmen in our guild hall and HA to PvE areas that allow lvl 20 henchies?

This is clever, although there is a limiting condition. If the gimmick is still faster than balanced even though there is some chance > 0 of gimmick failure, people will still gimmick. So you still have to keep a lid on the power of gimmick builds.

Yes, you are correct that ANet is silly not to do this. Artists are expensive. Anything that contracts out work is a good thing, as far as the developer is concerned.

The whole point of having monsters that are stronger than us is to force us to come up with clever solutions to the problem. PvE is far more fun when there is new content for people to figure out how to beat. Making players more powerful just shortens that learning curve when we are fortunate enough to have new content. That decreases enjoyment.

You have some good suggestions, but you have not thought them all the way through. The randomized build idea is the strongest idea with the furthest-reaching implications. And you're correct that ANet still hasn't figured out how to leverage the community to the fullest extent possible.
