This is sort of ramble-y and incoherent, so I’ll try to keep this brief (first time posting in the suggestions forum).
“I wish taverns were more interesting…” is my general thought. By that, I mean I wish there was a cool reason to go to them, even if it’s just to relax in game. There’s a few things that I wish could be possible to some extent.
1) Some way to sit down in chairs.
There’s an absolutely beautiful dinner table in the Crow’s Nest Tavern in New Lion’s Arch, but there’s no way to actually gather around it, save for actually just sitting up on the table itself, which, as anything larger than an Asuran tends to look a bit silly. It would be sort of neat from time to time, to head over to a tavern, sit down with some other players or Guildies, have a drink (in game and real-life while we’re at it) and just really nerd out and get immersed in the world.
2) Some way for your character to play music.
Imagine a band, up on the high ground, made entirely out other players, with all the different races dancing together and having a good time. This would be really cool. Even if it had to be an all NPC band, just have them show up certain nights of the week and have mini-dynamic events inside the actual taverns, that involve either dancing or Guild Wars drinking-games, things like that.
…in hindsight I don’t know why that needed a list since it’s only two items, but still, I think the idea of having dynamic events in the towns themselves, and more specifically, in the taverns, would be a great way to bring players together in the towns…sort of like the Mad King in past Halloween events in GW1, but going on all the time!
This is a stunning game world, and certainly one I don’t oppose to losing myself in, but more methods to get immersed other than adventuring would be nice.
