Has there ever been anything you ever wanted to happen in Guilds Wars or for the Developers to do anything? Regardless of how lame and unorthodox it is?

Well, I have, and I want to hear what you guys ever randomly thought of, or even ones thoroughly thought through.

Just make a simple, concise description of it, then the person who posts directly after you gives you there opinion of it, and then posts there own message. You may post about someone's ridiculous idea from more than 1 post above, but QUOTE it, if you're posting about the person directly above you, don't quote it.

E.G.:
----
rofl, wtf kain awf eyedea 1s [email protected] lal

My idea: sdhiasjdpasjkd;kas

Quote 10 posts above " blah blah"
-----

This is not a suggestion thread, I mean ideas that you just know wouldn't fit with the game, break it, but would be a lot of a fun to see happen for a short while.

I'll start...

Marriage!!!!!!!!

With a Family Tree, just like the Alliance Tree, you'd have to get married though, and you'd get to choose where you get married like how you choose your guild hall, but it costs money depending on place

Hope your spouse doesn't expect much. Can marry NPC's too, <3 Cynn.

my suggestions:

1. new Guildhalls (maybe some EotN type ones)

2. the abilty to dye youre pets, i would love to have a orange wolf.

and if we are getting marriage into GW i would suggest the ability to divorce aswell. Just incase youre husband/wife in game demands to much

Mine was actually same as the 1st one on ScarGod's adding more GH's, based on EotN, would be nice. Gogo Rata Sum GH.

I also play Perfect World where they have marriage and something about it kind of creeps me out.

My idea is a personal store like they have in PW where you can place items, set a price and go afk and hope the money rolls in.

A "Taking One For the Team" title track based on the amount of deaths you aquire.
xD

And on another note...
I feel no lag whilst I'm playing.
Why have there been so many complaints about it recently?

Exactly the same things i would like implemented -

#1 - Yeah kinda weird i know in a game but this would make my girlfriend very happy, (we are married in the other game we both play ;]

#2 - Once again , good idea only i would like it implemented on a globbal scale, i.e a proper market/auction house,just put your goodies in there when you wanna sell them and then when they sell go pick up your cash,i think i remember reading on one of Linseys wiki talk pages that this kind of market would be too difficult to implement in game though =/ .

I'd like to be able to use skills in outposts =D So you get a tick box in options deciding if you mind having skills used on you or not. It wouldn't give exp to kill and you can't die. You and the guy who "Killed" you just get K.O! appear on their screen. It would be useful in big outposts to use speed buffs

Hi, Nature.

1. Shadow form nerf. It is really ruining the game.
2. I'd love to see a title for questing. For example "Legendary Quester of Tyria, Cantha ect". Complete all quests from each campaign.

5. Also world-wide party search, or just a complete overhaul.

This would be awsome

Many people whine about more titles but this one is actually kinda "hard" and fun too

would make people a bit more intrested in lore too, I hope

maybe more exclusive skins added to the game like mallyx lantern (as a gold item, Its horrible that is only availeble as a pvp skin or green) or maybe new skins in the trend of zodiacs? would bve great

It's nice to see SOME of you read and understood my post, or both. THIS IS NOT FOR SUGGESTIONS.

Like I said: This is not a suggestion thread, I mean ideas that you just know wouldn't fit with the game, break it, but would be a lot of a fun to see happen for a short while. Maybe I wasn't clear enough...

I'm seeing too many suggestions... I wanna see stuff like "What if skills had no recharge"

Things that are NEEDED in the game are not welcome in this thread xD

What about more armor choices in pre-searing for all the perma-pre ppl. I mean all the armor for each profession looks the same other than color (or if someone chooses to not upgrade their armor).

I would love a world wide party search, so you could always know what your friends are up to....kind of creepy actually...but maybe you could have the option of not allowing anybody to locate you...or only a few specific people (like a preferred list or something).

Marriages is also a pretty nice idea...but marrying an NPC is kind of sad...(then again so would be "marrying" a guy you THOUGHT was a girl online). Would be entertaining either way

lol.

I always thought that being able to "paint" any piece of armor to your liking would be awesome....would provide more armor customization and way less clones. Could even add paint drops that would be much rarer than dyes.

Super-powerful PvE skills, usable only by primary class, with a scale going from 0-15, meaning you must have 15 in the primary attribute. Also, recharge is 10 minutes, and you have to load it's bar like Togo's skill from his Mission.

I can already see it... Monks creating an indestructible shield that stop enemies from getting in and negating harmful AoE effects. OP'ed, unless you "waste" a spot on a skill that will recharge for 10 minutes...

Or Necromancer exploiting 5-10 corpses at the same time to create an undead minion the size of a Wurm Boss level 28. GIANTIC. Hard to destroy, attacks slow, hits hard... but can't burrow like wurms. Oh, and it has a -30 degeneration to balance the huge health pool. Why -30? So people wouldn't be able to cancel it out with healing.

I have other ideas, but if any of the skills was OP... we can always make it into an Elite skill and lower recharge.

Yes, I stole the idea from Aion's DP skills. You have to kill a lot of enemies to get DP, then you activate the skill... and it's battle-turning, ranging from giant damage, summoned pet over-buffing, healing and even transformations. Cool for me.

A time machine to implement changes when they needed to happen, rather than years later.

This is probably the only idea that can save Guild Wars. I'm gonna start working on it.

Ever since the skill split I've always wanted the split to go away. It's not necessary and I hate that Anet had to do this to appeal to the PvE'rs who refused to adjust their builds.

The skill split also furthers the divide between the PvE and PvP community. With the same skill doing different things depending on what you're doing, it makes it even tougher for a new player to get started in both realms.

Well, now that you put it that way...

1. PvE-only skills allowed in PvP.
2. Heroes and henchmen banned from missions in Normal Mode.
3. All drops in Nightfall and Eye of the North become non-inscribable.

...imagine the chaos that would result from such a change!

They could just add an additional option to the boss ZQuests. If they guy is an area that can be VQed, add an additional reward for VQing the area.

My suggestion:
additional PvE content that is big enough to warrant being sold in a box.
