My suggestion page, incorporating mainly my ideas, and some of those of others.

Guild Wars (1)

Ranger

• More healing skills, and more outright damage, without restrictions

Monk

• Strengthen Smiting Prayers skills by adding additional damage and benefits (i.e. KDs and Dazed)
• Decrease Divine Favor to 3 for research reasons, and a slight nerf
• Speed buff(s)

Elementalist

• Add more offense to the Earth Magic attribute
• Slightly weaken all Fire Prayers skills to balance out other attributes

Necromancer

• A function to more easily target minions, be it in the party window for only the MM, a separate window, or a special hotkey
• Interrupts

Mesmer

• More healing skills for self, with less restrictions
• General decrease in recharge times on skills (cut off five seconds on a lot of skills)

Assassin

• Make skill chains unaffected by foe targeted, as it should matter what "moves" occur based on who you're looking at, but by what you just did.

Ritualist

• Make all spirits one attribute to improve PvE spirit spammers

Economy

• Separate groupings in search for Buying, Selling, and Trading

UI

• Little blue energy bars below health bars in Party Window
• Distinct Marks on Health bars for 25%, 50%, 75%, with customizability options at every five numbers for certain skills (i.e. 80 for ZB)
• Spirit, shout range on radar range
• Experience bar for heroes (somewhere...)

Characters/Account

• Inventory bag concept scrapped
  • Instead, overall backpack, with slots that materials, armor, weapons, trophies, garb, utility kit/pets, etc. go into, and an overflow slot
• Storage with similar divisions
• Intra-account movement easier, with ability to manipulate movement of items from character to character without switching characters
• Fat/skinny choice at character selection screen
• Character hair color decided by hue/saturation/volume, RGB system, something like that
• Dye kit
  • RGB system for armor dying. Take dyes, and add drops of with slightly different results depending on drops. 50 drops/vial, or so.

Guilds

• Hairdresser, other vanity NPC's for 50k in Guild Hall
• Each account can pay an amount (10-20k) for a pet stable in the Guild Hall for their account. This way, pets can be swapped among characters, enabling a character to get more then one pet, but only use one at a time

Pets

• Pets given buffs
  • 3-skill skill bar that is utilized by AI, similar to heroes
  • "Collar"
    • Insignia and rune with effects building off of current pet evolutions

Miscellaneous

• Incorporate day/night cycle
• All weapon drops from all campaigns inscribable
• New modifiers such as "Halves skill recharge/casting time of spirits", or sword attacks, or something of that nature
• Professions buffs depending on land area or time (within aggro range of?)
  • Rangers +4 health per rank of wilderness survival while in forest/jungle
  • Elementalists +1 Al per 2 ranks of ____ while near ____
    • fire magic, lava
    • water magic, ice (frozen lake)
    • earth, rocky terrain (like post-searing)
    • air, running water (water conducts electricity)
  • Warriors -1 damage received per 3 ranks of strength while in desert/barren land (like Kournan landscape)
  • Assassin +2 damage per attack every 5 ranks of Critical Strikes during night.
• Animation for stance (Balanced Stance, character spreads legs, bends knees a bit)
• Animation for all skills (no matter how bad, some way to tell out skills in a mob)

Mini-Games

• Clash of the Titans (inspired by Costume Brawl)
  • Every man for himself, five players, different spawn points
  • Play as the Five True Gods (No Kormir, though I wouldn't mind seeing her in the mix) with randomized selection with who plays what God
  • Specialized "godly" skill set, health and energy
    • i.e. Balthazar has some battle cry where he gets a 20/50 Sundering weapon, +400 Maximum health, -8 damage reduction, and double adrenaline gain
• Battle of the Best (or another name)
  • Play as a better-than-the-player an/protagonist from the games
    • Glint, Kuunavang, Palawa Joko, Turai Ossa, Shiro, Lich, Kilroy Stonekin (just for fun)
  • Skill set as shown in game, with slight balance modifications

GW2

Professions

• All new attributes, for the most part
• Ranger, Paragon, Fire Magic
  • Choice of Longbow, Shortbow, or Longspear, Shortspear
  • All attacks work for spear or bow, called Projectile Attack?
  • Hornbow incorporated into Longbow, IAS on Shortbow again, or slow up Longbow a bit
  • Some Adrenaline projectile attacks
  • Severely weakened Fire Magic, secondary damage, perhaps benefits to skills
• Warrior, Dervish, Earth Magic
  • Drop scythe
  • Larger energy pool
  • Enchanments, Enchantment based attacks semi-incrorporated, still adrenaline attacks
  • Earth Magic part of new attribute
• Monk, Ritualist, and Air Magic
  • More monk damage
  • Keep spirits
  • Combine Channeling and Smiting
  • Lightning Damage and Channeling magic integrated as new profession
• Necromancer, Water Magic, and Spirits
  • Drop most attacks skills
  • Vampiric wands/staves inherent
  • Few attacks skills
  • Spirits have two/three new, monster-only skills
  • Spirits main damage-dealers
  • Soul Reaping concept kept, not primary
• Assassin and Mesmer
  • Melee caster
  • Requirement-free degeneration hexes, snares
  • More energy gain
  • Drop Shadow Arts
  • Mantras
  • Touch hexes

Humor

• In near-wipe situations, when one or two people are left and running away from mob, a deep voice should yell "Get In The Choppa!!!"
