I would like Anet to refine the group finder so it can become something useable to pickup content. A random fractal queue could be nice too. It could also be nice to have the ability to customize

It could also be nice to have the ability to customize your UI the way we like (Size, placement of existing elements, hide).

And to be fair, at this point, i think that a new Tier of equipment over ascended gear would be nice now that all slot as been filled, multiple time i some case

Nothing tbh. Can't see more elite specs or new professions working. There is already too much. Trying to make weapon changes (+ new weapons) ... is the best they could do. And with any later expansion - especialyl if they want to bring the next one on 1y again already ... it will get "too much".

I can only see more customization possibilities for the current stuff. (Later maybe giving access to the elite utilty skills independently of the elite chosen and even when playing core. A 4th trait line. Or making the elite skill slot usable for normal utility skills. Stuff like that.)

Other than that I'd really see a mid-sized PvP game mode. PvE is just zerging. Stronghold in PvP was a bad idea. (Annoying PvE elements.) The death matches in mini season are boring and the 5 vs. 5 maps with conquest are enough. Would need (but this would be hard to sell it as "expansion only" - even lower playerbase then) some 10-20 vs 10-20 game mode on a mid sized map (half the size of a WvW map maybe) ... target match duration something like 20-40 mins. Interesting mechanics. Afaik the GW1 had 8 vs 8 and some interesting mechanics in the 2 main things (Fort Aspenwood and Jade thing). Never played it though.

Dyeable weapons and / or the ability to select type related weapon SFX like projectile animations independent from the actual weapon skin.

Also, a wardrobe extension for your trinkets like the Draconic Core accessory.

Furthermore: legendary food / infusions.

Perhaps slightly beyond the scope of the question, but I would have preferred a whole new campaign in an as yet unexplored region, with new characters (and races! and professions!) starting at level 1 and continuing on to max level, with an all-new personal story featuring no bloody Orders, no Pact, and most of all, no (/e Yosemite Sam) Dragons. Ya know, like in the glory days of old.

Alternately, a smaller but no less expansive expansion featuring two new starting areas -- one for tengu, one for, I dunno, largos -- with all-new events/stories that run parallel to the core personal story up until either the introduction of the Orders or better yet, the founding of the Pact, skipping the whole 'you must choose an Order and you can never ever ever leave it for any reason whatsoever even if they never change their socks' nonsense. With an all-new, all-different profession for each race (that could retroactively be applied to existing player races, as per ye olde Revenant). With land spears!

And ponies.

* A new mount or jade-tech vehicle with meaningful movement limitations instead of skyscale, which I was excusing against many criticisms of "breaking the game" because it was a prestige capstone mastery but now can't really defend when SotO obviates all the other mounts.

* No weaponsmastery thing, and weapons that actually make sense to the professions and what their identities/kits want while maintaining profession niches. Most especially, adding much needed offhand access: Rev and Ranger focus, Guardian warhorn, Necro shield.

* At least ONE big overhaul project on one of the following areas of the game: underwater combat, new PvP maps/modes, new WvW maps/features, new raids, dungeon revitalization, EoD spec refinishing and rerelease, IBS mastery overhaul. The point of this model was to free up resources for going back and bringing up other parts of the game, and I still see none of it except this stupid, reckless weapons mastery.

If I had just gotten those three things, I would consider SotO to be solid and the game to be back on track. As it stands it is a desperate trainwreck.

I believe something like that is more suited for larger expansions. but I guess a smaller expansion for introducing a new race could still work

I was with you for the first 2, but you lost me on that third point.

Reworked transmutation system and the ability to save cosmetic loadouts. 

100%. For a game nicknames Fashionwars, there's remarkably little UI assistance for this sort of thing.

new professions, Dervish, Paragon, & Ritualist... I still think it was a mistake not to include these three professions... and adding these three would keep the armor classes even... Ritualist is Light, Dervish is Medium, & Paragon is Heavy. I refuse to accept Revenant or Guardian as the successor to Ritualist... Paragon is not represented in any class or spec... and Spellbreaker is a HORRIBLE substitution for Dervish...

4th set of elite specs... I whole heartedly disagree with the claim that all all rolls and playstyles have been adequately represented through elite specs for each profession... There is so much untapped potential... also some of the roles supposedly represented through elite specs are not actually there...you can't shoehorn a role into a spec with a couple optional traits that don't actually mesh with the specs abilities...

Playable Tengu... They have built up Tengu lore... added so many character model customization options... gave them distinct male & female models... and they are rigged properly for armor... not to mention there have been two zones right next to lions arch since day one that have been known to be Tengu lands forever which are perfectly sized and placed for a Tengu City & Starter zone...

Your last post literally called me delusional and then I see this. How long have you been playing this game that is clearly not GW1, hoping for it to somehow go back to being GW1?

No I meant Dervish… the spellbreaker is Dervish inspired, it even uses several dervish skills. The spellbreaker is all about boon removal and turning attacks back on their attacker… Paragon couldn’t do any of that, but Dervish could, and enchantment removal was something Dervish were really good at… I actually even had a Warrior/Dervish built around that concept, coincidentally named Varsh Spellbreaker.

It is not tho spellbreaker are formed from the Sunspears so I guess we were both wrong.
