I’ll start by saying that when I got my toon to lvl 80 and entered the last maps I had no clue about what I should be doing there. Where are the hearts that served as a guide to me? Only events and more events, so many I of them I could not understand what was going on, so I just left and started a new toon. Living Story for me does the same thing, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do, nor where I’m supposed to go, when I got lvl 80 I just felt lost.
I would really like an expansion that would continue the content in a more focused way, instead of these bits we get every once in a while. The expansion should raise the level cap as a way to reintroduce hearts and really continue the Personal Story in a meaningful way. So to answer your questions:
1.1-Raise level cap and bring back hearts so we have a more guided approach to what we should do in the world;
1.2-Introduce new weapons for every class:
1.2.1-One completely new weapon for each class that makes sense for that class weapon types, for example, introduce a spear that warriors and rangers could use, introduce a book that mesmers, necromancers and elementalists could use;
1.2.2-Increase the weapon types that each class can use, for example, necromancers now can use greatsword, guardians can use longbow, elementalists can use swords;
1.3-One new class;
1.4-A new continent, Cantha, Elona, newly discovered continent, maybe even the mists;
1.5-New WvW map with new mechanics on this map only;
1.6-Continue the Personal Story, with more focus on your character so you could care about him (her);
1.7-New PvP maps with new modes, capture the flag, a Dota-like map but instead of towers you could have Guards and your team has to kill those and defend yours until someone kills the last Guard(a Guild Lord);
1.8-New armors and stuff to go along level cap raise;
1.9-Rework class mechanics to bring changes to the roles and how they are played, for example, what is the fun in having that adrenaline skill that you can only use if you are fighting, or a necromancer transformation where it just sits there above your weapon skills bar and you cannot use it until you fill it up a little bit, or the mesmer that has 4 useless skills if there is no illusion in play, this kind of design is anti-fun because you should be able to use whatever skill you have whenever you want to, so I’ll describe how I would change the warrior in the following sub-section:
1.9.1-Make warrior able to use his F1(adrenaline weapon based skill) even if he has not a single point in his adrenaline bar, but make the skill be considerable less effective;
2-PvP maps(not WvW) should always be available even if you don’t buy the expansion. The class reworks should also be given to all players, including the ability to equip weapon types that the class currently can’t, but not the completely new weapon;
3-Basically the rest not mentioned in point 2. Increased level cap, access to new continent, new WvW map, new weapon, new class, new armors and stuff, further progression of Personal Story.
Of course this is just my opinion, feel free to agree or disagree with me.
