My thoughts on what should be done with heroes can be found here.

Edit: This suggestion would also solve the henchmen skills issue.

And looking at your Hero and Henchmen section, you are simply wanting complicated AI changes (frontline and backline don't really exist, they form a box and melee charge in at aggro... just say "Improve AI, such as with... <list things needing to be put in>," but nothing complicated like formations, pointless to add until the needed things, like the AoE detection, are added)

So we got a thread with a ton of different ideas, a ton of repeats of what we've seen dozens of times... is that even allowed? Or maybe let's add even more random unrelated suggestions to this 1 thread, so the discussion is even harder?

But there's something much worse than just a ton of repeats.

This whole thread is full of poor, bad, terrible or just pointless ideas (and I'm not commenting on those hench bar changes as they're practically 'make my single-player game even easier'). But I can sum it all up with a short: WRONG WAY!

At this point of the game's life we can't expect any major content updates. Instead the task of the devs should be bringing new life to old content and increasing the replayability factor of existing content, when they don't have the resources to release entirely new content that's well worth the effort.

But now read that again and rethink the ton of useless suggestions in this thread: simple adding more armor sets at crafters or "missing" weapons doesn't do any good for the game. That's not content that's worth adding... unless it comes connected with something that will give players something to do for more than a few minutes.

And adding, or even worse, changing existing game features just for the sake of 'completeness' or retroactive equity nonsense is only going to push the game further into...

...One of the biggest problems of Guild Wars, expansions and most of extra content added to it over time was... it was just...

*MORE OF THE SAME*

And a lot of suggestions in this thread would move the whole game straight into the booooring 'more of the same' state.

What I see in this thread is stupidity like:
*Prophecies has craftable gold versions of endgame weapons, so all campagins must have that too!
*Factions has a quest chain ending with capping an unique pet, so all campagins must have a similar one!
*There are scythes and spears dropping in Nightfall/EoTN, so they absolutely have to drop in Proph/Factions too!
*Tomb of Primeval Kings is such an Elite dungeon that it has to give a HoM statue!
*Tormented weapons can be put in HoM, so all campagins must have a special set of HoM'able weapons! or two sets! ...all that with completely ignoring the truly valuable rare weapons already in existance...
...
bleh,
/disgusted

more of the same... kill all variety and uniqueness...
...following this direction, you could demand allowing going back to Pre-Searing (just because you can return to Shing Jea or Istan), or beg for adding creation of Paragons and Dervishes in Factions or Prophecies (with unique looks to those regions and if you own NF ofcourse)... or call for opening a copy of Shing Jea Boardwalk in Kamadan... idiotic.

There are differences between different campagins/ continents/ elite missions/ weapons/ npcs/ etc.. that actually make the game much more interesting, deep and rich. The fact some campagins have things others don't is a great thing.
If everything was made equal, the game world would be an eternal boredom hole. And that way is definately a Wrong Way.

For something different - there are several superobvious 'ideas' presented in this thread for the 50th time, and I can /sign them all for the 50th time... stuff like account-based treasure hunter or adding weapon mod trader or fixing the titan quests or improving hero/hench AI... it's everywhere... if I commented on them all it would take several pages...
