New Expansion: Quality of Life Features

[Jaylock]

So this thread is to discuss what quality of life features is plausible to be included in the next expansion. Are there any in particular that would make the game more enjoyable for you from a quality of life perspective? 3 things I think are almost a certainty to see in the next expansion:

1) I fully expect them to improve the transmog closet. What i mean by this, is they will probably include in the sets tab all the off-sets / recolors of tier that all classes of that armor class can wear. I also think they will include tabards as they previously wanted to include.

2) I can see them improving the customization of their raid frames. They did a great job making them more viable to use for high end raiding, but there are addons that sometimes do them better.

3) Improved group features will probably make it into the game, including grouping up with horde battle-tag friends, and cross-faction dungeon grouping (similar to how the PvP feature allows horde and alliance fight for the other team if there are queuing disparities)

What quality of life improvements do you think will make it in the next expansion? Are there any "wish list" QOL features you would like to see added?

enjoy playing something else mate, cya lol

I'd like travel form split back up into multiple separate spells again, and mount speed calculations changed back to their pre-Legion formula.

yeah um thats not happening, they clearly stated that they like how pathfinder works

I'd like a better UI for reputations. It hasn't been updated once since vanilla and it's just a pain in the ass trying to navigate now that there's so many factions. Maybe make a window like the achievement pane with a separate tab for each expansion?

[Echoherb]

Auction House. Ian basically confirmed it was getting an overhaul at some point. The basic UI needs an overhaul too, it's very outdated. There is a lot of nostalgia attached to it though, so if they do overhaul it they should have an option to keep the old UI if one chooses (there would probably be mods for this anyway).

Tabards are in the Xmog Cupboard

1) Account wide gold
By this I mean I want to be able access my millions of gold on any character on any realm and any faction at any time. I'm sure this is the part where people pop in any say it would ruin economies and servers but at this point I'm willing to risk it for quality of life. I'd like to have the option to go to another realm to find something I want at a cheaper price without having to server change or do shady things in order to get gold on another realm.

2) Account wide reputation or account wide reputation rewards
We do rep for the rewards and often those rewards are quality of life improvements in of themselves. I don't know about you guys but if I do a rep on one character I very rarely do it again on alts - especially if it's some grindy one like Argussian Reach. Either make the reputation apply across all characters or make ALL rewards open to alts. I've done the leg work, I shouldn't have to do it four more times unnecessarily.

3) More wardrobe/transmog improvements and restrictions lifted
The wardrobe and sets tab is probably one of the best features added in Legion so anything that improves that core experience and makes me less reliant on third party addons is welcome. I'd also like this "You have to run the old raid on a cloth character to get the cloth item added to the wardrobe." to be banished. - I get the logic but I still hate it.

Transmog on slots not items.

Wouldn't mind the Mists system to come back where at exalted you can buy an item that doubles rep gains for alts.

You know when they say this... to me its a "well no duh" moment. If they didn't like something they wouldn't just stick it in....

Preach it brother!

I think account wide rep tokens are the new way of dealing with rep for alts. Seems likely they'll stick with this going forward to me.

Small thing, but I'm fed up with clicking on small icons on the side of the screen to perform questing actions. Surely there's a better way to interact with the occasional items you're given. Is there an addon for this?

[Logwyn]

Free server transfers!

Mists also had those Zandalari Scouts and Warbringers that dropped boa rep tokens as well. Guessed they liked that more than the double rep.

[Caerule]

I would like more server mergers.

I'd also like more guild stuff. Update the banners, add new achievements and rewards. Let us build a guild hall/ship/skyship or something.

Allow RP addons to walk cross-realm.

Explain this one to me, i'm not sure I follow what you mean by slots not items.

If you're talking about an addon where you have access to clickable/activated quest items, I use QBar as it's customize-able for things other than just quest items and I think there is another called QuestClicks that is basically the same.

Personally, at this point, the only thing I'd like to see off the top of my head is a wardrobe tab for non-tier/pvp armor sets that you have collected pieces for. Like if you are a plate wearer and you have all the differently named pieces for the purple Judgement set or tier look a likes.

[Calfredd]

So if you get a new piece of gear and equip it you don't have to go back to transmog over it if I understood that correctly.

OK, if that's the case I think I follow the meaning now. However, wouldn't that kill off a gold sink. I always assumed that the transmog each item for however much gold was used as a gold sink. Changing it from item to slot, thus making you only have to pay once instead of each time would defeat that purpose. Of course, now that I think about it while typing that out, it's not much of a gold sink if you only pay 200G to transmong a whole set. So maybe you are right.

Not sure if this will ever happen, but I'd absolutely love it if they added a region transfer option. Such as moving your WoW account from EU to US or the other way around.
