Seriously all trolling aside, who is fluent in LUA and going to write some up?

[Eldan]

If I have time I have every intention of making a HUD.

I <3 HUDs.

Also, it's Lua, not LUA. Not an acronym

Iza just really likes it so puts great emphasis on the word.

Better buff/debuff tracking, AH and mail improvements and more streamlined interface are what I'm mainly looking forward to. We'll have to see if Hartsman sticks to his guns when it comes to more powerful/invasive stuff like DBM.

[Fugubob]

I look forward to any UI improvement, especially (as was mentioned) the ability to track Debuffs.

Really almost anything could be an improvement over the current one.

I just want something that will sort out MY WARDEN hots from OTHER WARDENS "OHNO MY STACK IS GONNA FALL OFF...wait how did it just get refreshed????"

And to not take 20h to empty my mailbox when I buy 30000000 items.

ONE GIANT BAG WITH SORTING STUFF

and a giant sign that automatically points at noobs!

I would, but my experience in WoW was really bad. Make an addon, people like it, suddenly it's a full time job. I got some nastygrams when I quit and stopped updating.

Also, I'm assuming the API is going to be extremely limiting. Trion seems very intent on being able to address any problems a user might encounter with an addon, which means the complexity would probably be limited.

Probably:
- Remove portraits
- Re-color/skin action bars, unit frames, etc.
- Combat text
- Timers
- Data display (Prestige, Favor, etc)

I really, really hope they do something with nameplates. :\

Bad Idea... all it creates is Meter ****** nuff said. This creates a bad environment for MMOS IMO all it does is validate EPEEN's.

On the topic of gearscore like addons and the likes, it is most likely going to happen.
People already group others based on what they have gear wise, and TBH that is really all you can do in a game BASED on the acquisition of better and better gear. Yea skill counts for something but others can't really see your skillscore, thus the rating of you based on your gear.

[Izanami]

Also for meters, I love meters like Recount. Tells me who is doing what they should be and who has no clue how to play their class. Not trashing people who aren't good but if you are going to run a dungeon or raid you should pull appropriate numbers for your specific role/soul combo etc, it is kind of the point of the game.

That and I am way too lazy to keep alt tabbing out to look at the parsers >.<

I have to disagree your skillscore is built through reputation on your shard. If people know your good at what you do than they will look for you and your help. Gear score just equals time invested in a game to acquire the gear not your over all aptitude and attitude. People who are in greens and doing the DPS/HPS they should for the gear they have will be overlooked because they are not topping charts. And really idc about GS especially if your an AHOLE again gained through reputation. I would choose a person who is skilled enough to get the job done and not an AHOLE over a person who has the UBER gear but can't STF* and do what they are supposed to do.

And really if all you care about is GS than you've turned the GAME into a job and not an escape which is what its supposed to be.

Achievements circumvent any real need for a scoring system per player. It's just as valuable a measurement as gearscore, because you can be bad and get both. At least Achievements don't inspire Need rolling on sh*t that isn't really an upgrade for anything besides item level/gearscore.
