I love guildwars2 but I tend to miss a few little things from other games I’ve played.

There is no character inspection. I’d love it there was.
sometimes you see a player running about with nice armour or weapons or the player
is playing really well and you get curious about them. LOTRO had a lovely feature that the player could inspect another player to see how they were equiped.
The Player could enable or disable this function if they wanted people to be able to inspect them or not. It was handy for comparing equipment with each other.

Social options. Sometimes you just want to Solo and do things by yourself.
I’d love a toggle option to automatically refuse Party & Guild invites.
Last game I played even had an option to only accept whispers/tells from friends.
(I’m guessing setting your status to invisable does not do this)

Charcter info for forums. I’d love if there was away to pull your character information into forums where you could have a sig or display your character data
via your profile info. When your not logging in from Home for example having a sneaky surf at work it would be nice to have access to character info.

Crafting the personalised touch.
One of the things I enjoyed in one of the previous games I played was being able to
craft and equip all my characters with gear I created myself. When you created something via crafting it displayed which character created the item. Also on critted or special items you could name them. This was also a nice feature that complimented the inspect player function. On a previous game I played this info
also appeared when stuff was sold on TP. It allowed players track stuff via seller.
(So you might have a favourite seller that reguarly offers fair prices or you might want to avoid a certain seller that often over inflates prices)

ingame voicechat. When I used to raid on a previous game we used ventrillo
and used ingame voice chat as a backup. Its a major pain in the backside if your
raiding and doing PUG’s and your trying to give players not in your guild ventrillo login/setup info or mumble/teamspeak passwords etc if you want good communications.

Camera and draw distances.
As I play ranged and Kite a bit I like to be able to zoom out to be more aware of my sorroundings I also like to be able to zoom out for taking landscape scenery screen shots. I cant Zoom out enough. Also I’d like to be able to adjust the draw distance for character rendering and not just scenery rendering.

My ingame house. Love the idea of an ingame house where other players can visit
your house and you can decourate and display trophy’s.

I don’t. There’s enough elitism already when it comes to MF items and dungeons. Giving the vocal minority an option to ‘inspect’ other players will more or less lock everyone else out of the dungeons altogether.

I’d love a toggle option to automatically refuse Party & Guild invites.
I agree with this. Also an option to block whispers too (the only whispers I seem to get is spam for guild invites), though this can be easily achieved with a custom chat tab.

Charcter info for forums.
Only if it’s optional. Personally, I don’t necessarily want people on the forums to know what characters I play. I played a few F2P games in the past where character info was tied into my forum account and it made for some annoying stalker-like activity within the game itself.

ingame voicechat.
I imagine it’s probably too bandwidth-heavy (so, expensive) for ANet to afford, though I was sure they mentioned ingame voice chat at a past public event.

My ingame house.
Apparently, some form of player housing is in the works but in what form is anyone’s guess.

Inspection: Terrible idea. In a game where people reskin armor, stats are trivial, and everything can be done by anyone who has half an hour and thumbs, who cares? If you like their skin, ask ’em about it. I’m sure they’d be glad to have you stroke their ego as they explain their awesome armor skin to you.

Auto-refuse: Toggle invisible/busy/offline. It blocks whispers, uknortherner. And as for auto-refuse party/guilds, yeah, great idea, especially for the guilds.

Character Info on Forums: I tend to tell people how bad their ideas are on the forums. I don’t want any more flaming in the game than the people who recognize my typing can give me. It’s bad enough I can have "followers" spying on me if they so choose, but...

Ingame voice chat: Probably, eventually. But really, voice chat isn’t needed. I type faster than most people can speak, and do a much better job communicating through it.

Housing: I don’t understand the huge push for this one, but it’s ok I guess.

1.) Give us plain capes and guild capes, or even let us make our own.
2.) Give us a skin collection place where all of our previously used skins are saved and ready to be taken out for use.
3.) Bring out more interesting and better gear.
4.) Release way more titles, they are lacking seriously, not even one title in the Slayer section or Weapon Master section, example : 500/500 kills on trolls would reward Troll Slayer.
5.) Make our titles stand out more.
6.) The Guild symbol on your chest shouldn’t be stuck to that awful beginning skin, let it be put on whatever our chest gear may be.
7.) Let us change our account name, character name and appearance (not race).
8.) Allow an achievement comparison option like in World of Warcraft, you could right click them and compare, if you can’t compare then it takes away lots of motivation.
9.) Bring an inspect option in, and a preview option on the trading post.
10.) Give rewards for certain titles and achievements, it drives us forward to do hard tasks, example: Miniature Collector, collect 54 miniatures, reward us with something amazing, like a very unique miniature. Staff Master (5000 killing blows), reward us with an awesome staff.
11.) Bring more achievements, I hate to compare but this is what WoW done right, 1400+ achievements, all of them bringing unique titles, gear, mounts and so much more, they all even had little icons for them, it was just a nice thing to do, but now we have no major motive to collect these achievements.
12.) Let us show our own name, guild and title over our heads, it’s a nice little feature.
13.) Let us shift + right click people’s names in chat and be told their name, guild, race, class, level, guild and zone.

Ah, now that’s something I didn’t know before. Cheers!

Yup, been suggested so many times and still isn’t in.
