Definitly: Cosmetic Armor.
Available as rnd-drop and/or via itemshop. “and” preferred.

Cosmetics, making my gear look like something else would be awesome. Especially if you could take gear you can’t normally wear but drop it in a cosmetic slot so you use the stats for your class appropriate gear but can technically look like you are wearing anything in the game.

An appearance tab. That’s all I ask for.

Sure, I’d love housing and surnames and more RP support, but if I could just have an appearance tab (a la LotRO) I’d be happy.

Unfortunately, recent comments by Ghostcrawler on Blizzcast #15 lead me to believe that at this point, an appearance tab won’t be happening… but a girl can dream, right? And Blizz has changed their minds in the past.

I don’t even know where to start. Blizzard hasn’t put any cosmetic or “fluff” items anywhere on design rotation for a long while. Even the titles are, as Melfina points out, mostly another level of tiered progression.

There are things that WoW does wonderfully, but the development team does not seem to care about allowing people to actually become engaged in the world. Judging by the subscriber numbers, they have very little incentive to start caring, either.

I’d love to have more titles like they do in lotro, where you can get a title for doing just about anything. Somehow, being Nathyrra, who has been really helpful to the men of Bree, is better than being Lyllea, Kingslayer.
I guess I feel like titles should tell you what the character considers important, instead of mostly being a way to show off.

And I want a way to turn off my shoulders. Those things are huge and why exactly is a priest wearing massive bits on their shoulders?

I think the ability to use a cosmetic armor set for looks while using another one for stats would be great. When I work really hard to get a set of armor I want to be able to show it off. It sucks when the next patch comes along, I upgrade my gear, and I look hodge-podge again.

I also love titles and wish there were more in the game with interesting ways to earn them.

Housing, definitely.

One of the only things I enjoyed about EQ2 (other than crafting) was housing. It’s very addictive to decorate your house with trophies from your achievements.

I’d love armor dyes or an appearance aggregator so that I could make any piece of armor I have look like any piece of armor I’ve already obtained. WAR does both, and it’s awesome.

I’d also love surnames. That’s typically been how I link all my characters in MMOs, but I had to find a new naming convention in WoW.

Housing, but EQ2 style not LOTRO… I love Turbine but their implementation of housing was bad when it was in AC… now it is simply embarassing.

Cosmetic clothing would be great too, but you said I could only pick one… big meanie.
