1. Shift click item search on the GTN.

2. Ready check system for Ops.

3. Guild tax system, so the game generates additionally credits and then deposits them into the guild bank.

4. In game calendar. With the ability to schedule guild events.

No on chat bubbles unless they can be turned off completely.

No to AC swapping.. Not now and not ever..

No to player housing..
Who is the more foolish? The fool or the fool that follows him?

1) Cross-server Queues. This is especially important for PvP.

2) True Dual Spec system. A respec, even in the field, isn't the same as a Dual Spec system. Let me lay out two skill trees, two gear setups, and two hotbar setups and flip between them with the push of a button. Make it so it's out of combat only and on a 15 minute timer so it can't be abused in PvP, or to flip roles every other pull in a raid (for example) so people don't abuse the system...but create the system.

3) Account-wide Friend/Ignore Lists. Maintaining these on a per character basis is the pits, and it only catches one alt at a time. If I like someone, I will always like them, so I want to see every character on my server on which they are playing. Conversely if someone annoyed me enough to make the Ignore list I don't want to play with them again, no matter what character they're using.

1) Increased frequency of content updates. I know Bioware has said it would do so and we all know that it costs money. But the lack of new content is probably the main reason people left. Big bonus points if it story/class oriented.

2) Better customization options for our characters. Look at STO and DCUO for inspiration if you need too.

Styles
A lot of MMOs allow styles in a way or another. The easiest way to resolve this would be to have an extra styles tab, where a player simply dumps a piece of equipment they own, replacing the visual look of the real item worn. Slots without items would simply default to the style of the real item. This would allow my Vanguard to look like he is wearing his clan Varad chestpiece while wearing his Columni one.

Ink/Dye system
This allows more flexibility and would allow players more input on what they look like (though I suspect a wave of black would follow). It should have limited impact on GPU performance.

Camouflage/Patterns to apply on equipment.
This would entail new textures overlays, which would greatly enhance customization and individualization, at the cost of hard disk space and GPU performance. This could partially be mitigated by adding a slide bar in the Graphics option to adjust the crispness of these overlays.

3) Better communication on what is actively worked on by the team. I feel very much that what is happening behind the scenes as Bioware Austin is shrouded in secrecy, with way too many things important to the player base being left unanswered. The current situation leaves many of us with the impression that the player base is either being ignored or lied to. And don't be afraid to go and ask the paying customer base "What do you think of THIS idea?"

Bonus:
- SGRA
- VIP and Collector Edition Vendor updates
- Hoods (you know what I am talking about)
- World Events, like the Rakghoul Plague, that have some replayability to it.

Also, am I allowed to ask for investors that are more interested in long term profitability that short term gains? The latter would make sure we have a great game (meaning people will gladly subscribe for a long time) than the former who will just try to milk the cow until it is dry (and dead).

How would it effect you negatively if they put it in the game? It really wouldn't. Saying NO to something you don't HAVE to do or have is a bit selfish.

  1. Make the galaxy more interactive (more mini-games, sitting in chairs everywhere, etc.).
  2. Alternate Starship designs for each class (interior and exterior).
  3. More customization options, including an in-game Face Makers / Body Engineers (Tailor/Barber) so that you can make adjustments to your character after creation.

Only the meek get pinched. The bold survive.

The negative effect would be to take the time to make it so you can add curtains to your ship, which only a small part of the community wants.. Instead of adding something that would make the game better for all of us..

No.. I don't need player housing.. My ship has a bed and I don't even use it.. I don't need to hang curtains, I don't need to paint the walls, I don't need to hang pictures, I don't need to decorate my ship..

This isn't SWG and it was never meant to be SWG.

Player housing only has a purpose for RP'ers.. Which fine.. It serves no purpose for the rest of the 80% or so that play the game..

Selfish is trying to make this game into something it isn't.. Selfish is about 20% of the community demanding something that the remaining 80% do not want..

My top 3:

1. Chat Bubbles
2. Face Merchant (aka Plastical Surgery/Image Design/Barbershop to change a character's appearance after creation)
3. Wookiee as playable Species
Add Wookiees as playable species (solution to voice over problem: MT-D Miniaturized Translator Droid!
SUBSCRIPTION WON'T BE RENEWED due to the lasting lack of CHAT BUBBLES and how long-term subcribers are treated by EA/Bioware.

1. Jump to Lightspeed/3D space.
2. Appearance tabs that work separately from stats on armor/clothing.
3. Player apartments/housing or fully modifiable/decorateable ships as our player home.

If you asked me to include a 4th thing, I'd say: hire much better artists to design the armor & clothing designs for SWTOR.
