Make it possible to use resolutions higher than what your monitor/graphics card support and/or make it possible to take ridiculously high-resolution screenshots. This is useful for a number of reasons: first, it eliminates the need for anti-aliasing, aliasing being an effect caused by rendering high-res 3D grafix at a low resolution. Second, it means things are bigger -- this is useful for taking screenshots, making maps, etc. The general idea is to either allow an xbox hueg resolution to be chosen even if your monitor doesn't support it (preferably with a little checkbox that says "show unsupported resolutions," which then causes a warning box that says WARNING: DISPLAYING HIGHER RESOLUTIONS THAN ARE SUPPORTED BY YOUR HARDWARE CAN CAUSE UNEXPECTED SIDE EFFECTS, UP TO AND INCLUDING PERMANENT DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF YOUR GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT, MONITOR, CPU OR OTHER HARDWARE. BY CLICKING "I ACCEPT THE RISKS" BUTTON BELOW, YOU AFFIRM THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY UNDESIRED EFFECTS OF USING UNSUPPORTED RESOLUTIONS AND HEREBY DISCLAIM ARENANET, INC. OF ANY LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE TO YOUR HARDWARE OR COMPUTER TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT OF UNITED STATES LAW or some other cruise control bs nobody reads), or have a key combo that causes your GPU to render one frame at a massive resolution, and dump it in the screenshots folder -- preferably one that's almost impossible to reach, like escape+meta+alt+ctrl+shift+printscreen. I shouldn't have to tell you that this should also stick a copy in your clipboard so you can paste it for lossless shoopan without needing to use that ridiculous -bmp argument.
tl;dr bigger screenshots pls –Jette
