I would like a means to exchange items of the same type. For example: I bought the Frost Wasp Logging Tool and the Thresher-Sickle 5000 when there were no other options available for permanent harvesting tools. That is the only reason I chose them, as I did not know if the prior releases would return to the store. I absolutely loathe both of them, as their animations feel slow and sluggish compared to other permanent tools. SO: Since permanent tools are almost always the same cost, yet some offer bonuses (Watchwork) I think it'd be great if we could have an NPC in game, similar to the black lion ticket merchants, who would allow us to exchange tools of the same cost/type. So I can finally get rid of the tools I hate, and exchange them for tools I wouldn't regret having spent money on. Further, I know of many players who bought multiple tools because shared inventory slots weren't a thing. While refunding seems to not be an option, allowing them to at least diversify and have different tools may make the sting a bit less severe. It's not like they're going to buy more tools anyway. If needed, a limit could be placed on the number of exchanges possible - but really, it's money already spent by the player.

I don't mind mount skins that subtly change the existing model of the mount (armored raptor, different patterns/color channels, different interpretations of the species - pocket raptor model, etc.) but I highly doubt they'd start offering different species for existing mounts, especially considering all of them are tied to story. If I got a springer from the springer farm, collecting carrots, etc. -- it wouldn't make sense if it was suddenly reskinned as a Kangaroo. I'd actually be disappointed if I could reskin my raptor as a horse, as opposed to just getting a Tyrian Stallion mount or something in-game.

You might want to jump on the bandwagon with me and others suggesting underwear and swimsuits, I've suggested also tights/pantyhose in dyeable layers two cosmetic slots one for tights and other for sockings/stocks layerable, opacity slider and purchaseable patterns, for stockings purchasable options for suspenders, lace tops, etc... patterns interchangeable between both, since they're easy to do and there are so many tights to take inspiration from I see a good niche, same goes for underwear and swimwear... Aspects so neglected... I have made a full post detailing my suggestion on page 14 in case you want to know more and give me your opinion on wether you see it feasible. I've been thinking the same thing! I'm annoyed by having dull yellow undergarments, for one, and further it seems weird that if I go to a beach or whatever my character is just wearing lacy underwear. It's not necessary, and not that important, but that kind of makes it perfect for the gemstore. I'd love to either change the color of my character's undergarments, or to have options for bathing suits/bikinis/etc (or both!) BDO incorporated undergarments as a part of armor, with stat buffs and whatnot - which I wouldn't want Anet to do, but it demonstrates that people were still interested in getting to choose the design they used, and the color, etc. beyond the stat buffs -- so I think this could work here.

New Mail Carriers: The bird mail carriers make a pitchy chime sound when mail is delivered, which I find unpleasant. But there are only so many other alternatives available (I usually stick with the seed pod or anniversary carrier) that I started thinking of possible options for new carriers that didn't have the "bird problem": Butterfly swarm — butterflies descend in a spiraling motion above the player. No strong chime or ding, but instead a more subtle sound (fluttering of wings or something?). The butterflies on the Grove Hydria back piece in-game could be a reference.Holographic Aurene – similar to when she projects herself in the open world to the player character. She could appear, bound around the player’s feet, and then vanish.A herd of cats – it’s on theme! A small group of cats scramble past the player, while one stops to either lick its paw, or roll on its back as the mail is delivered. The delivery sound can be the same mew of the home instance cats. The message itself can be delivered by a small ball of yarn uncoiling as it flies up toward the player, or something.There is unlimited potential: an undead hand springing up from the ground, a mail golem (a la M.O.X.), a sylvan or krytan hound, mail-o-tron, aspects of the human gods (maybe?), an exploding bloodstone fragment, ley-line anomaly/coalescence, mini pact zepplin, an Awakened sentry, Choya Pinata, Choya herd, any choya, etc.

Pretty much the same with Bifrost as well.
