Top 10 Things this game REALLY needs.

Yeah, I know. Everyone wants an auction house with a built in beauty salon and extra storage lockers to keep your stuff. But that stuff has been discussed to death already. Here are 10 fresh ideas.

1. New title track: Philanthropist. You get 1 point on this track for every ecto given to another player. It only counts if you give an ecto with nothing given back to you. To prevent buddies from swapping ectos back and forth all day and earning the title this way, you can either deduct 1 point from your track for each ecto you receive free from another player, or have a max of 1 item given to a particular player count towards the track.
Items that count towards the title are Ectos, diamonds, rubies, sapphires and Black Dye.
First tier is "Charitable" - 100 high end items given away.
Next is "Generous" - 500 items
Max is "Magnanimous Benefactor" - 1000 items given away.
(Yep, this idea is a shameless way to get some wealth from the rich players

)

2. Forget hero flags. What I really need is an Ally flag for all those missions where you need to keep someone alive. I'd love to just flag Danika/Togo/King Ironhammer into a nice safe corner and say "Now, you stay here and let us handle all the fighting. We'll come get you when it's safe".

3. Allow those with a minipet Kuunavang equipped and displayed to be able to use those special Kuunie skills. (Watches mini Kuunie's price soar to 200 ectos

)

4. Xunlai International Currency Exchange! Let's give all these folks selling Runescape gold a place to actually sell it. Set up a currency exchange agent that will convert Runescape gold into GW gold and vice versa. Contact the Jagex corporate office and get them to set up a trader in Runescape for the same purpose. Judging from the amount of "WTS Runescape gold for GW Gold!!!!" spams I see each day, this will be a very popular addition.

5. Disco Balls for everyone. It's not fair that Dervishes are the only ones that can get down and get funky on the disco floor.

6. Can we get some heavy coats please. The female costumes are rather skimpy and while they may be perfect for the beach areas, my Warrior is freezing to death in the Shiverpeak Mountains in that short skirt she has. My Elementalist is wearing even less, but at least she can generate some constant low-level fire spells to keep her warm.

7. Need a 1 week chat ban for anyone who attempts to trade frozen ectos as ectos or wants to sell his account for 100k.

8. Idiot Indicators over player heads so you'll know who NOT to invite into your party. It could be a big green flashing "I" similiar to the "!".

9. Inclement weather. Ever get tired of the same old boring sunny days in Kryta. How about a randomizer where some days you step outside LA and it's raining or it's cloudy. Could also come with some random degen effects like Muddy Terrain or Frozen Soil. The weather routine would be run each day at 6am local A-net time and it sets the weather pattern for each area for the day. So if it's programmed to rain today in Shing Jea it rains all day for everyone who visits the area. Weather should be appropiate for the area and time of year. It will never snow in the Crystal Desert and rain there very rarely. It cannot snow in June/July/August on the American servers.

10. WARNING - PROPHECIES SPOILER: I think some of the missions need alternate endings and alternate cutscenes. I did the Ice Caves of Sorrow mission last night with a friend. We reached Evennia and Sardia trapped in their prison, but instead of freeing them immediately we instead killed every single mursaat and white mantle in the area. Next we blew up the door leading to the boat path and finished the bonus. (Yes, we were infused and the mursaat mob were pushovers). We killed all the dwarves leading to the boat AND THEN went back and freed Evennia and Sardia. During the cutscenes, Sardia valiantly sacrifices her life to save us and Evennia mourns her death at the hands of the Mursaat......Huh?.....what?.....We just killed EVERYTHING!! How the heck did she die? We need 2 endings here. If you free them immediately, Sardia charges into the mob and dies saving us. If you kill the mob first, Sardia lives.

Please note: this is a humor article, thus the reason I did not post in Sardelac. Now while, I would dearly love to see all of these things added ingame, I don't expect the devs to waste much time here. (i.e. Don't reply with "stupidest ideas ever. Those would seriously inbalance the game/take too much programming" posts)

Sigh, but I would enjoy an idiot indicator.

1: Boy, that would be nice. I have no problem with it. I'm poor.

2: Frustratingly, horrendously, impractically, ESSENTIAL. Please, oh, please get this into the game! (Master Togo = tank?)

3: Yuck....more lost bandwidth. Bye-bye Kaineg.

4: Could this be taxable and spread among the GW community?

5: Assassins should be able to steal the disco ball, mesmers cast archane echo on it, elementalists create their own floating ball of fire, and ritualists BE the disco ball.

6: Not too mention overexposure in the desert areas. how about a new condition like heat exhaustion and frostbite for people getting the message: "You have been playing for two hundred seventy-two hours. Please take a break" while farming the troll cave wearing only a set of tatoos.

7: Instead of account ban, actually replace their ectos with frozen ectos. Worthless, unsalvageable, unusable, untradeable.

8: People could actually control this setting by giving feedback after every partied mission. But it should not show up until you get over 100 positive or negative feedback, and only others can see it.

9: That would be nice. Kind of like in FFXII. May require a lot of programming, but it would be a neat addition.

10: The cutscene was no error. Some of the mursaat had diguised themselves and snuck into your party. If it was just the two of you, I would no longer trust that friend so much....

1. Mods actually playing the game catching rule breakers.

Why: Because Gaile Gray isnt ever frigging on to moderate the game making sure everyone abides by the rules. Last time I checked you cannot buy/sell accounts. I see tons of people doing it and no one takes action against them :S.

2. More free FoW/UW access weekends.

Why:Because we wonder what the people who collect your 1k give their money too.

3.Kill gwen

Why:Becuse gwen is annoying when she stalks you in pre-searing
