These are the things I would like changed or added to Guild Wars. These are my opinions. Guild Wars is great, but some things nag me.

- Put the Rules of Conduct on the login listing important rules that concern people's interactions.. harassment, deception, etc; in its own area and have a link to the rest. I am tired of my friend getting harassed because of her characters model, and NO she doesn't take off its clothes. Get a life people.

- Tell me what I am gonna replace when I add a wrapping to a staff that is already full. "Do you want to replace the current upgrade or whatever" doesn't tell me what I am gonna lose, it would be better to say "Do you want to replace the +25 health with +20 armor?"

- Somehow see if more summoned creatures would fit into the game, water elementals, stone elementals, etc.. for other classes like elementalist and mesmer

Maybe just a web link to the rules of conduct on the login...they have a lot of rules.

As far as I know anytime i've add something to my armor or weapons its asked me if you want to replace [this].

Like the idea of more summoned creatures

-yah some people like "girl" characters to take off there armor and walk around n dance its quite disturbing and makes me wonder if they bought the game for that or... too actually play "espically when i see them mostly being level 1..."

-really on this 2nd topic its more of your own knowledge knowing what the suf/prefix of the really is... example if it says vampiric storm bow of fortitude then its gunna have 2 upgrades on it a vampiric bow string which is life stealing and fortitude bow grip which adds health. all of the suffix/prefix's are the same throughout the weapons but i would say i still agree if you dont know all of the different upgrades then it would be nice for it to say what your removing and adding

- all im going to say is yes i think elementalists should be able 2 summon i dont know if they can already i havent seen it but yah man water elementals would be awesome (look at the "archmage" in warcraft) he can summon elementals i think these "Elementalists" should be aswell.. even further detailed if your in the fire magic make them fire elementals and for air magic - air elementals and so on for every elementalist elemental skill

only class i know of " because i am it " that can actually "summon" a creature is necromancer if any other class can summon things please let me know

Maybe thats what the frist expantion will add, Advanced Professions, where the ele's will get that, and the Rangers will get skill that can casu tree roots to grab things.

I would love to see a ranger cause some vines to trap somthing.

Harrassment? Just type in chat...

"Harrassment puts you in breach of your EULA agreement. Please don't make me send an email with your name and a screenshot to ArenaNet!"

That usually shuts them up but if they don't stop, it usually pays to follow through with it.

-Id also like to be able to switch characters without having to log out

-Custom designed armbands (badges whatever) a la Halo 2 that go to only one character.

-Weapon guys that sell good weapons. I understand that the devs want people to go fight bad guys, but they should put good weapons in there and just overprice them for people who don't want to wait, as long as this won't screw up the game economy, same with collectors, just jack the amount or something.

- I like that idea of town clothes that you can customize your character with when you enter a town area. Lots of choices for individuality of course.

I'd like to see more weapon crafters. Even generic helms / armours that are creature specific,i.e. Breast plate of Wolf, +20 to hp and 70ac against animals/mythical beasts, +30 against elemental damage. Things like this could actually be useful in PvE, but not in PvP.
Having 30ac against elemental damage but nothing else would be useless when fighting a warrior in PvP against, but in PvE 70ac against animals / mythical beasts (minos) could be very very useful. Escpecially for the non melee classes.

- To elaborate on the upgrade message, here is what it said when I tried to put a wrapping of enchantment on my staff..
"Upgrading the Hale Jeweled Staff of Warding wil replace its old upgrade. Are you sure you wish to do this?"
What upgrade is it gonna replace?

- A "looking for group window" that you could pull up in town could help people

- Make the Enchanter henchman stop casting that spell every five seconds. I don't even take him anymore. Granted this is a cooperative game but I prefer me and a bunch of mercs for now.

- Give people the option of playing with smart mercs for those of us who don't prefer player groups. The story and game is Awesome, mercs are just plain dumb... Orion I am giving you the stink eye!

- Make two sizes of staffs so we can put one more upgrade on the Bigger one

- Make it so when a person and an enemy are near each other your mouse targets the enemy easier. I always have trouble getting the enemy selected. I think the party window should be what is used to select party members.

- A party warp option so you and your party can go to a city as a group and skip the warp, then find each other, then regroup thing

maybe being able to wear other classess clothes, but without the energy/armour bonus, so you can wear your fave item of clothing in towns ect...

possability of familiars for magic user classess, like bats for necros ect..but as an option, and they maybe dont attack, but you can use them to *scout ahead and clear up the map when you havent been there before...(cause i saw a bat flying about in Post and wondered if i could pursuade him to be my necros familiar ^^)

maybe some new Hall types, like Crystal (where theirs bridges and the towers tinkle and chime when your in them, i mean, why not? the charr dumped all that crystal on ascalon, why not slice it up and make it into building materials^^) or Shadow (nice shadowy corners for peeps to hideout in^^)

Maybe just a little bit more than your posting.

Obviously you've never been harassed, or you wouldn't mock postings like that.

Tab then space usually works pretty good for me, but sometimes it will select someone really far away, or monster that I don't want to fight at the moment.
But targeting with the mouse is quite a pain, so a better targeting system would be cool.

Two main things I'd like changed. In order of preferance.

- I Looove the new faction system but unfortunatly now my PvE char who I use in PvP (tombs) Is alot more infexible as I'm no longer reciving refund piont for atribute while in PvP. I don't mind the loss in exp, But the attribute refunds i miss so dearly.

- Please alow us to somehow preview dye combinations on our armour before we purchase. Trial and error is far to expensive for me. A dye tester of some sort would be a godsend.

A Biiiiig thanks to AreaNet for making not only the first free MMORPG but for also making the first MMORPG where the updates make major improvements to the game, rather then the odd fix.

This happenned to me so many times I actualy changed Tab to 'target nearest'.

I absolutely *hated* when my character would run away from the guy he had right in front of him, just because he targetted and went after some other guy on the other side of the map.

-I think they should fix another 'alliance' that u could play, like dwarfes or the charrs

-It would also be nice if they fixed so u can reach lvl 40 or something, not 20

This doesn't need 'fixing' because its not broken. It's just as they intended it to be.

- Make it so your friends list loads at the screen where you pick a character. I pick characters that usually compliment my friends.

- Make traders for magical items like bow strings and etc. and make them hella expensive. Haven't seen any so far. Only if it won't wreck the in game economy.
