Zuty the Insane Tinker : Oh the Changes I Would Make ...

That's me :D

I thought I would start a new series here so I could dump all my ideas in one place and refer back to them in the future. As you may or may not know, I am a casual player. I twink casually (by that I mean I don't worry about LFH or AGM) and I eventually level on Zuty from doing quests and grinding off mobs for items/mats. I'm also a forum moderator on Twink Info, so I deal with the community everyday. I'm still no where near as good as any of the regulars, but I don't really stride to be. Anyway, the point is I think that we need a representative for lower PvP/PvE to contact and work with a portion of Blizz to bring back that feeling we all got back in Vanilla during the 1 to 60 grind. I'm talking about interesting quest lines, new rewards, make killing a rare mob actually worth it, etc. Cata is going in the right direction with some of this stuff, but they could have done better.

Some suggestions:

-Fixing classes at lower levels.
    -Rogue's shouldn't have Shadowstep at 10.
    -Hunter's need either a Focus cost on Con Shot or a MUCH longer CD.
    -Shaman's need to have access to Stormstrike rather than Lava Lash.
    -Also, Shaman's that go Enhance should be allowed either a DW or a 2H route.
-Rare mobs should drop 2-4 items that are unique to them rather than a suffix (OF THE) item. They are rare after all.
-Areas of progression should have either a "Tranquillien" set up with rep or what happens in Stonetalon with the Krom'gar quest chain/quartermaster.
     -This would most likely start at 10 and then every 10 levels when a player enters a new zone they are greeted by a main town with a "mini-faction".
     -Players would have access to more equipment including Helms, Shoulders, and Trinkets which are very difficult to get until later levels.
-Guild rep should be gained while doing a dungeon that yields experience as long as you wear the normal guild tabard. Wearing the better quality tabards would yield [50% / 100%] more rep.
-Professions should have more recipes that are either obtained from "rare" vendors or bought from faction vendors. (For example: An Eng recipe requiring a skill of 100 could yield a +5 random stat Helm. A Blacksmith with a +3 random stat trinket. JCing with +2 random stat relics.)

I'll elaborate more on these down the road, but I think that adding a wider array of items to the game will only help. I know that when I am looking up items for my twink or even for alts I am leveling I usually only come across one, maybe two, items that are good until a much later level. Sometimes, there isn't even anything.
