Use creative retorts without swearing on the people who shout at you in map chat regarding champion boss zergs. 
but you can add 20% magic find on ascended… or 20% gold… they still give something better and room for improvement
I could do a ring or accessory comparison instead, and with the utility only applying to amulets, I suspect I will get the same sort of comparisons with MF.
1: Have 8 character slots at the bottom to represent all 8 professions before character scrolling.
2: Allow players to organize character order instead of whoever was last played. If you wish for character details, then use the left side of the screen and have a box with some character details like “last played date and time” and “age”.
3: Have the character figure show back detail.
4: Scale the characters accordingly to their heights from character creation. As it stands, my warrior and thief appear the exact same heights on character select screen despite my warrior being taller in-game.
5: Have a button to display all your characters next to each other with their heights for comparison’s sake. I don’t want to be manually making pictures like second pic attached just because this game doesn’t have that sort of feature, haha.

The large red circles for the Shadow Behemoth should be one shots or hell near one shots, also the portals should spawn champions.
They had that problem when Shadow Behemoth was first put in, I think, and for a starter area, it was considered to be too overpowered (same sort of thing for fire elemental, who had tons of high levelled mobs which kept wiping players).
Adding health doesn’t always work since the more players there are, it will just go down as fast due to scaling. Adding artificial super armor like Claw of Jormag has when not stunned isn’t always a good thing too, haha.
One thing I can think of is to copy certain mechanics from other world bosses, or something similar without resorting to one-hit kills…
Shadow Behemoth: The giant red circles do damage, but insignificant to a point where people don’t even bother to move. Have the giant red circles do pulsing (so condition removal works once and you’d better dodge roll as soon as you’re free) fear or multi-stacks of confuse. This would teach players to move when there’s red circles as well as prolonging the fight.
Fire Elemental: Considering the THREE pre-events (two of each are long due to being escort and a 5 min area defend) this one has, it probably doesn’t need anything. If players don’t shout that there’s 3 different pre-events and only announce when fire elemental is up, that’s the fault of the community, haha.
Frozen Maw: Maybe give the guy some big red circles which do freeze like you see snow trolls do. Would teach players to move. Would be amusing to see tons of players suddenly stuck in place and condition removal doesn’t work.
Jungle Wurm: They need to fix the lag problems this one has on players before they think of adding more stuff.
I don’t mind if the charged quartz is account bound, but the end result, the crafted weapons/armor/trinkets shouldn’t be. 
My mouse has a button where if you hold it down, it automatically clicks the left mouse button until I take the finger off it. However, I tested the speed of that button vs me left clicking for one minute on a click button website, and I beat my mouse by like 10 clicks, haha.
Seeing as I can click faster than my mouse, I just use the extra button for selling and buying stuff. We really need an “open all” command and a “buy x amount” command from vendors as well.
I do like the idea of class specific SKINS as a reward though, which you could apply on your standard exotic armor.
Henchmen, or variation of hero units using the appearance of your alternate characters. Obviously limited in some capacity, such as only having up to two hero units in a party with no real players, and give them the ability to self-resurrect after 15 seconds.
All the complaints about people needing to ping gear isn’t the fault of arenanet though, it’s the fault of the community with certain elitist players.
If you are looking for players to do dungeons, your best option is to do a little research and find what guilds on your server (or if cross-server guild), find which is best suited to allowing casual players to do dungeons, and apply for an invite.
Regarding Arah, the reason why you probably don’t see it on a third party random party matchup site is because Arah is considered to be hard enough that people just don’t like forming random teams to do it.
I would like to see a mystic forge recipe in the future though, haha. Maybe 250 stacks of any dungeon tokens x 4 turns into a stack of 250 redeemable tokens which you could take to a specific vendor and he turns those new tokens into whichever dungeon tokens you want. Thus, it would take four times the work to get specific dungeon tokens, so arenanet would probably be happy that doing the actual dungeon itself is more preferable than converting tokens.
Requesting the new logging axe to be made into a steam chainsaw for cutting wood please arenanet.

Didn’t even notice it as a potential drop, I brought some rich coffers in attempt to get tickets (which didn’t happen), haha.
Will be nice as a sort of consolation prize.
I want craftable breathers for rare and exotic. No karma or dungeon versions, only obtainable via crafting! This way, people would at least have incentive to build it via crafting or go to TP to buy it instead of just dungeoning for tokens to get it for almost free.
Ok… Seriously… I feel more enraged by the word kitten now than I do actually reading a curse word, simply because I don’t understand what people are trying to say half the time. I understand that this is my own personal opinion, and I also understand that this should -NOT- be taken as a top priority. However, I’m no child… I can handle reading a curse word on the forums. Please put in an -OPTIONAL- profanity filter on the forums, instead of limiting us from a basic “Freedom of Speech”.
It doesn’t really matter anyways, because I can bypass that profanity filter by saying things like… “This is Bullskritt” or “I’m gonna skull ferk you!”
Bear in mind if you use that bypass method in an attempt to insult someone, you’ll probably be subjected to bans though just like people ingame who swear at people.
Please have Eagle Eye, which is a master major trait, also improve shortbow range. Improve it to grandmaster trait if you must.
I had some discussion on this ingame too. My idea was that a warrior would be able to store his banner (F1 when holding the banner), which he would then put on his back (banner head over his left shoulder in comparison to two handed weapons which go over the right shoulder). You will now be using your normal weapons with your banner on your back as if you were standing next to it, only it’s mobile on your back. The only downside to this (and to keep arenanet’s vision of warriors only having one burst skill) is that the weapon burst skill in F1 is now replaced by Plant Standard.
I specifically made my female medium armor alt a norn, so she could use cultural gear. As for my male human thief, I already had my eye on the duelist chest armor when I first saw it in beta in character creation. XD
City of Heroes had one of the best forums I ever went to. The devs and moderators communicated often with the fanbase, which is apparently really rare among official forums. Due to the community (it was about a superhero MMO, after all), everyone was more mature about conversation, and even if views clashed, at least argued without throwing backhanded insults everywhere.
I do wish we had avatars though to put under our names.

Haha, I remember when I first did Fire Elemental when it was relatively new – EVERYONE there (about 20-25 people) was in their undies or close to it due to how immensely difficult it was.
Nowadays, it’s rare to see someone actually die against Fire elemental.
I wish Shadow Behemoth was a bit harder though or had better tricks to prolong the fight without making it too hard (due to being in a starting zone) – like maybe his giant red circles would do pulsing fear, or doing huge knockback, instead of doing piddly damage which people just ignore.
Basically a viable build in PvE, dungeons, WvW, fractals, which doesn’t require me swapping out everything just to play something.
It’s just I was wondering if the small increase of vitality from taking four ascended trinkets with pow/prec/vit/crit is worthwhile over losing a small amount of precision, or if the vitality isn’t worth it. Either way, both are so similar to each other (in regards to power and critical damage anyway), with some small shifting of precision over to vitality.
I’ve never really decided how much of each stat I want, nor do I ever go out of my way to get food for temporarily stat bonuses. Are people really that reliant on food?
I generally always make a human warrior type (usually male too) in any online game to learn the ropes at my own pace, haha. City of Heroes was probably the only one where I didn’t start with a warrior-type (tanker/scrapper), but a ranged character (blaster). After I returned to the game though, my interests went into my tank and tons and tons of scrappers.
So while melee is my general thing, I do like diversity, such as the mesmer, because it reminds me of my illusion controller in City of Heroes.
