Maybe some buffs to less-used skills, I guess.
But mainly:
a) XUNLAI AUCTION HOUSE
b) Major pets rework - ya know, so more people will be inclined to actually use the pets they just stockpiled. Maybe they could have hero skill bars on which pet skills would go, and then the ranger could bring something else (kinda make up for using up 2 spaces for charm and heal)
c) Weapon mod/inscription traders (pain in the butt to buy those right now)
d) Pathing fix for ZQuest boards, as pkodyssey said. Seriously, that's annoying as.

1. BIG Skill update. That will put more new life into gw than ANY 'additional' or revamped content
2. Polymock PvP. Srsly, Anet made polymock mechanic from scratch, and only for 4-5 qeusts? Thats pointless
3. Small bonuses like April update had (like Nicholas)

The only The skill of GW is Protective Spirit and noone can say the game is balanced or there is no overpowered stuff anymore unless that skill gets killed.

What I want for the next big update is:
- remove the boring restriction of faction points to only a small amount of areas. I want to get Norn points killing Charr in Ascalon.
- a small AI scripting. No very eloborate but enough to tell Heroes to not use certain skills on minions, to pre-prot, leave the AoE, stay in wards, use skill 1, 2 then 3 for assassins and of course to not remove a certain condition, like cracked armor on paragons.

In summary..."I want a win button so I never have to use skill for ANYTHING...EVER AGAIN."

Hope is the last thing to die.
ANet knows for a fact that some people play the game just because they are waiting for GW2 and that's why they announced it so early-"So people wont lose interest in GW".
But for me it just makes me miserable.

/supersigned for polymock PvP. How fun wouldn't it be to actually fight off other players in a pokemon battle? XD

SurrealFi · May 30, 2009, 06:48 PM // 18:48

Give us a tweak to the current pve-meta game please, I'm deadsy tired of the one we got. ^_^ Or... bring SF back to its former status so every class can use it, if it's to stay in the game, let everyone in on the fun!

Lishy · May 30, 2009, 06:54 PM // 18:54

A re-cycled Pre-catacombs core elite area.

A pets rework.

A polymock PVP

And a huge skill update. As in, huge. Not just 20 skills.

Odinius · May 30, 2009, 07:05 PM // 19:05

I would just like some quests like the black moa or mox ones that give novelty items just to show you did the quests.
some of the rewards may be:
-Low dmg weapons like the club of a thousand bears or banana scythe
-mini pets or new pet
-funny everlasting tonic
-masks, hats
-some novelty armor just for good looks in towns
-new emote
-new hero
-new minion

or
-More stuff to put in your hall just aestatic you can unlock through quests
-questing title
-statue for prophecies endgame titan quests

you know, fun stuff!!

ValaOfTheFens · May 30, 2009, 07:23 PM // 19:23

-New skills for the Sins, Rits, Paras, and Dervs. This would mean new bosses, hopefully in Prophecies.
-New explorable areas/mini dungeons. Similar to Sorrow's Furnace and they wouldn't even need to be really new. The castle in Kessek's Peak or the messed up tower in Watchtower Coast for example.
-Inscription trader. I'd be willing to pay alot to be able to skip standing around in Spamadan for several hours looking for inscriptions.
-Competitive missions in Prophecies. Cuz, why the heck not?
-PvP-only skills.
-More realms of the Gods or maybe a minidiungeon focused on Menzies or Dhuum.
-Permanent Roller Beetle Racing and XTH supported betting on it.

Come on, the decision to nerf ursan couldn't be nearly as stupid or bad as the decision to create it in the first place. I can't fault them for correcting their mistake.

That's funny, when i was reading this, i took this srsly, i like some of changes listed.

But its still smaller skill update than BIG skill update which people expect for another content update.

Puebert · May 30, 2009, 11:02 PM // 23:02

Skill balance, problem is its very hard to balance a large number of skills at one time.

So, just a drastic meta change.

UnChosen · May 31, 2009, 12:25 AM // 00:25

Revert last update's "skill balance" for PvE, and split them all into PvE versions....I give up hoping for some great update and just hope there won't be any more collateral damage to skills.

Yawgmoth · May 31, 2009, 05:03 AM // 05:03

Material for more than one big update surely, but those are some main wants from the top of my head:

-Major skill update for both PvP and PvE, nerfing of all degenerate imba builds that ruin all their respective formats.
-Sealed Play! Waiting for it over 3 years now
-an automated trading system (AH or XMP) = obv
-ZQuests for Vanquishing
-improvements to Party Search - make it work cross regions at least
-new weapons with interesting variable stats, NOT just new skins (aka more of the same)
-removal of XTH ('legit' RMT)
-map travel improvements (skip the need for going through the port towns)
-some nice surprises

ZenRgy · May 31, 2009, 05:21 AM // 05:21

Remove paragons, assassins, ritualists and dervishes from PvP. Restore glory. Create auction house.
