Don't get me wrong, i don't want to change the way it looks, but I am sick of people disconnecting on onyxia, or phase 1 on northrend beasts. If the engine is tidied up a bit and the addons incorporated in efficiently and cleverly, raiding would become a much more enjoyable endeavour cheers J Upgrade of the graphics engine.

If Blizzard wants to fill dungeons with trash and script them to be 30-minute runs, that's fine by me. If Blizzard wants to make 90% of gear attainable to casual players, that's fine, too. In other words, I am willing to bend and adapt with the balance that Blizzard wants to strike, when it comes to progression and play style. What matter to me are improvements to the UI and base functionality that make the characters easier to interact with or the world easier to navigate. Usually, it's custom mods that provide this type of improvement: Auctioneer comes to mind; quest-tracking mods, as well. Based on my preferences, the new feature I'd like to see most in Cataclysm is a guild membership control / looking-for-guild / guild rewards tracking system, with an all-in-one UI. The feature would let you do the following: 1. Better control of guild membership levels and bank access. The current controls are garbage, and you cannot perform basic tasks. 2. Find players who are looking for a new guild. This would work very much like the LFG channel/UI. It would let you browse the character's talent build and gear, just as if you were inspecting them. 3. Track a player's guild history. 4. Guild Leader ability to place comments on characters that persist between guilds (like a brief letter of recommendation). 5. Create custom achievements and award completion points. This one is a long shot, I know. I think these are good ideas and ask Khor to use the full power of his influence of the game developers to make sure they get included in the expansion.

Guild halls, monuments, custom armor (besides tabards, which have their own reputation niche now). The Path of the Titans stuff and guild achievements is a step in the right direction, but I think it could be so much more.
