GvG:
Teleporting
Lack of viable split tactics and constant nerfing of splits

Ineptitude recharge reversed. Ineptitude made hexes splitable which has never been done before. The real problem is clumsiness.

EoE nerf. EoE was very fun and made the match completely unpredictable in some cases.

Can't think of another one.

Nerf GoLE and give us a variety of energy management options. 1 skill should not outclass every other skill in the game including other elites.

Reduce Whirling Axes disable to 1s

Remove recharge on Knee Cutter

Make NPCs split into 2 groups when they march. This would encourage split tactics and the grouping problem at the same time.

Izzy spending more time on GW. Its a known fact (he admits it himself) Izzy doesn't spend very much time on GW anymore. I understand he works on other games and has his own hobbies. Hire some one that commit the time needed to make the changes we need.

PvP

Its been long abandoned with more automation taking over than personal care. PvP is much more than just a marketing tool. You even put out the PvP access kit just for new players to be able to jump into the game without dropping $100 on the table. Yes, you make a lot of money off of PvE but PvP can make you just as much if not more. Professional gaming is becoming a reality very fast. In fact its already here and very strong. Imagine what its going to be in 5 years, 10 years.

There are so many aspects of the game that are left untapped. PvP for one is truely untapped by not being a world player in 3rd party tournaments and professional gaming circuits.

Sealed GvG is so much fun but very hard to organize. It literally takes a few hours just to get your team together and set up to play 1 game. I would like to even see a draft version.

Restricted and Banned skills based on chapter. Competitive sports all have restrictions and rules. This is what makes them so good. Look at racing up till the point of restrictions being introduced and enforced. Who ever had the lightest car with the biggest engine usually won. Now racing has restrictions on tires, spoilers, ect and the sport was better for it.
