Annoying...but has more to do with latency i think. There are more pressing issues, IMO.

Discussed many time, I like.

One of the better ways to tell conditions that people have thought of. Non-monks might find this annoying, though. /signedk

able to be abused, but useful. needs tweaking...

Obviously useful. But henchmen levels...are debatable. Could pose a problem.

I believe Anet is thinking on this one...

Useful. Extremely. I forsee people ignoring votes, though. Who should be kicked. /signed

Too much quote for not much, IMO

Can get confusing. Also, some missions have colors that are needed.

I'd rather have them spend time on something more productive...a new area or class or something...

If the developers have spare time, sure. If not, no biggie

Add to party...click the name. Whisper, needed. Run to, press spacebar. Trade, the button is there.

Going through the skills dialog is a real pain for a full rebuild. Might as well include attribute level sets too, I suppose, tied to each skill set (although reassigning attribute levels is much less of a pain).

Server space, maybe. Maybe we should pay like 1 dollar a month.

Problem is, MMO's are supposed to be social games. Although it would useful. AI is hard to program.

That was actually abused, before they destroyed attribute refunds. Helped with soloing places, I doubt they'll put this one in.

And a toggle for info should be included. /signed

Leads to abuse. Appearance, yeah. Names, definately not. Scammer with new name, OMG!

/signed. Awesome...I like graphics. Like eyes in FF7?

Err....no. waste of time to program, you should know your professions.

been asked, answer is no. ANet likes 8 skills. Two elites=abuse.
Oath Shot+Any elite=Spam Elite

Probably in chapter 2.

And 20 is the level cap to keep it even for pvp..a level cap should, and will stay..if they up the cap in expansions is yet to be seen though. I will say that it would be cool to see how many times you have made a new level, no effects, just a count in the hero tab.

Yes i want that to be inplemented to

Because i even cant get droknar plate armor for my PvP char and i think it looks beter then the dragon armor.
