Your ONE ThingSo fantasy suggestion time. You are a lead developer for Blizzard for one week and get to make ONE and only ONE change or improvement to the game, what would it be?
Mine:
Create a mechanisim that would automatically take older gear found in classic and BC dungeons and raids and make it BOE. I completely get why ICC gear cannot be BOE due to the farming and subsequent economy crash. However being able to go back and farm say KARA, Stratholme, Black Temple, Molten Core, BWL, et al for boss gear and then letting that outfit alts and hit the AH would be great.
The gear is obviously not going to be used at end game, so there is not balance issue, but it would liven up those dungeons, add diversity, add to the economy and generally only improve the game. |

I would graphacially implent "Wear and Tear" on armour as your durability goes down!
Imagine coming out of a dungeon in plate, and having it battered, bloody and roughed up abit, it would look so cool!
Bears could have like singed fur etc! |

Making the trade channel be for trade only and the general channel for the rest of the BS. I can leave the general channel but not the trade channel. |

.....okay, ill go with this
i would change mechanics in dungeons and instances to require more then 4-5 buttons to be pushed as dps
healer would have more spells, instead of the slow big, short fast, and instant
tanks would have to work a bit more then spamming a couple keys to hold threat |

I remember an older game (Asherons Call 2) that added states of injury that were cutting edge for the time. The more damage you took, the more bloodied and bruised you would look. Add the wear and tear of gear to that? Very cool! Thats why I made this thread... for ideas I have not thought of or forgot! Kudos! |

I would like to see crafted items hold more value. With patterns that come from sources other than 25 mans.
As for older content items being able to be used by your alts: The only problem I see with that is it would make things difficult on new players. But I do hate it when I run a friend through some of the BC stuff and see items that I could use on various alts drop and all I can do is de it. |

I would implement a vanilla server, no BC/WOTLK.
The game improvements like the interface, map, quest log, etc. would be included but nothing else. No JC, inscription, b'elfs, dks's, etc.
I would still play on my other servers but this would be a nice throwback. |

The ability to customize gears appearance or allow us to have over gear for everything, such as the Outfit system in Lord of the Rings: Online. A simple dye option would be enough to satisfy me however. |

this may not be the ONE thing i would change, but i'd still like to see it:
make capital cities, and even small towns harder to infiltrate. The guards walking around get one shotted. a single person can take out all of a low level town without worry for the most part. I think its kinda lame that guards don't even put a dent in someone. Someone can go into the crossroads and lay waste for hours on end and unless horde 80's come in, it would never stop until they get bored. which actually IS hours sometimes!
maybe have a spawn timer. like 'i am slain, summon vrog!'... after 5 minutes of killing guards, a number of elites (high level) come out and clean shit up. |

I'd say just make all the items BoA instead of BoP. |

My son for example, who has played with me since launch, loves the idea of a classic server. I personally would probably not play it full time, but the idea of doing 40 man raids again is appealing, only if it is not the ONLY way to raid (i.e. I can go back to my current server if frustrated lol). |

So much gear that I worked my butt off for that is useless to the owner, but could be used by alts. Again I see the issue, but surely a time/gold sink added might make this possible. |

Uh no. Imagine a DK taking reign of the dead for his caster alt.
Hell, EVERY piece of gear would be rolled on by everyone. GL getting anything.
I don't think they should sell gear. Shadowmourne for $1000. lolz. |

Anyone here play Diablo 2? Remember how loot worked in that game? The fastest clicker got the loot. Can you imagine WOW with the same loot system?
I'm not saying I would make this change but it would be interesting. |

ICC5 mans dropping 277 gear? No thanks. |

They practically give gear away now making BoP's into BoA's is the next logical step. I'd imagine they'll start the BoA part by making it limited while it has the 2 hour trade timer so you can trade it to anyone in your raid or on your account. |

lol making bop into boa's will be the end of this game, reasons similar to what chris mentioned.We already have people needing on stuff they need for some random OS against folks who need it for main spec.
I dont see this happening anytime soon either becoz of the $$ loss involved.presently every toon leveled has to be geared to whatever extent, which thereby needs time, more time spent playing this game more folks tay hooked on to the content, more folks hooked onto the content for months more $$ |

The game has been on a downward spiral for the better part of a year. No reason to try to save it now.

I would make the option to have all dungeons change their hardness level based upon the average level or GS (or some other measure) of the party. So that 80s could do a level 80 BRD for example. Yes I know in Cat a couple dungeons will be level 80 but I would do it for all of them. They would drop appropriate gear. But it would give people more of a challenge and a different venue/change of scenery. I addition I would make CC more important again.
I also agree with hankhill11 in regards to the guards. If you kill guards or NPC, the guards that spawn should be at least the person's level or elite versions of it. Its lame when ally attack xroads. Seriously, what's the point? |

they need to make it like they do in instances, you can only roll need on items when you can wear it or it fits your character, i.e. dk's on plate, physical dps trinkets, casters on cloth, etc. those items are then boa.
you can't roll need on an item you SHOULDN'T be using, and if you win the item with greed, you can then mail it to an alt. |

Riiight. The game is (has been) in a downward spiral for a year, may as well just fuck over 12 million people. I guess that means they're going to not come out with two more x-pacs?
