Guild Wars 2

Below a Couple of Nitpicks and Suggestions that have grown prevalent after playing the game a bit too much.

Hero Window
- it would be great to be able to assign Favorite Weapons so their icons would be displayed with a easy to notice background color (similar to OSX Finder) in the Equip Window to make them easier to find / impossible to salvage by accident (think Customize Weapon in GW1)
- the Trait Window could be much improved by using something more intuitive than roman numerals for Trait Slots
- the golden arrow indicating how many more skills have to be unlocked to gain access to the next tier in the Skill Window looked like placeholders to me when introduced in beta, and they still do (I’m sure your interface wizards can conjure something better)

Map
- currently, undiscovered Waypoint icons dont scale when you zoom the map (other icons do). It would be great if all unexplored icons would appear like the Waypoints in all zoom levels for easier identification
- this would also greatly improve the minimap for exploration purposes and reduce the need for constant map review to find that last point of interest

Inventory
- organize bag view in a way that doesnt use much more screen estate to display the same information as combined view
- salvaging an item that needs confirmation should not exit salvage mode

New Player ExperienceTM
- I think it would be helpful to new players to indicate that there are always other areas in the same level range (make them easier to spot on the map or have scouts point them out for you)
- make more scouts point to easily missed hearts (I’m sure you have data on that)
- make it more clear how to exit wvwvw. I think its confusing to open the sPVP window for that purpose, or to expect new players to know about the exit gates when they never enter wvwvw by them

Wishes/Hopes
- bring back minigames in a more organized fashion – I really miss you Dragon Arena
- some form of out of combat 15% or somesuch speedboost
- alternatively, reduce the absurdly scaling costs of Waypoint travel. For example, always calculate the cost from the nearest capital city (where you could get for free)
- entering Lions Arch – I am certain I am not alone here – takes fairly long. With the added load times of Heart of the Mists it creates a situation that could certainly be improved upon
- do something, anything at all, with the home instances please!

(possible) Bugs
- there is no option for keybinding the PVP Window
- sometimes the icon indicating 100% area completion doesnt show on load
- sometimes when sound is muted a really strange sound plays on weaponswitch

Keep up the amazing work and incredible speed ArenaNet!

Thanks to all guys and gals who made this game! You delivered on all promises and exceeded all of my sky high expectations!
