Things Blizzard can do to improve WoW

Been thinking of a few ways for Blizzard could improve this game so here they are.
Add your own ideas..Please no rants..just ideas..maybe Blizzard is reading.
1. Blizzard should create game cards or credit card accounts based on purchasing actual playing time minutes. Have lost many a guild member because the current set up forces you to pay whether you play or not. Had one member stop playing for nearly a month because he was going on a 10 day vacation in 2 weeks and didn't want to activate a new game card until he came back. Letting people pay and play at their own pace would let blizzard keep more members.
2. Monitor and moderate the chat line. It has gotten out of hand on some servers.
The trade chat line has become place for anal jokes and player trash talking. The chance of getting a actual trade item read is slim and none and "slim just went out the door". Now some might say it comes with the game..but I don't pay for that and I'm sure there many people who don't pay anymore because of it. It's like having someone sit in front of you at the movies with a ten gallon cowboy hat. Which serves Blizzard financial purpose more..asking that person to be courteous and remove his hat or telling me to either live with it or leave! Hey..they can hire and pay me..I'll do it. Maybe create a new trash chat line so players can talk anal jokes all they want and if some one wants to read it they can "/trash" it.
3. Guildhouse...Allow guilds that achieve certain sizes to have their own location that allow members to hearthstone there. Sort of like a hang out. Maybe create guild street where guilds can hang their tabard flag and name. The larger the guild the bigger the building. People could walk down this street and petition to join.
Even allow them to set up a merchant table so items sitting in the guild bank tab can be sold off like a market square.
4. Fragment the the BG's more. Instead of 20-29..why not 20-24 / 25-29 and so on.This way players won't feel a necessity to sit on 19,29,39 and up to grab their best chance to win at BG's and make them ore competitive.
5. Here's something I hate..when I'm fighting a pve and and someone ganks me..I have to fight the PVE and the ganker and if I move away I run the the risk of pulling more PVE's while the ganker can do anything he wants. Let blizzard make possible for the PVE that I'm fighting, to turn on the ganker in some fashion.
That's all for now..I'll drop some more ideas in later..chime in with your ideas

another one to add.
How about letting people design their own epic gear. WoW would provide the template for it's shape..but we could choose the main color,trim colors, markings ..etc.
Also let the chest piece hold slots to display glowing colored kill gems. The more opposite faction you kill the more gems you wear. Like a gunslinger putting a notch on his belt for each draw he wins.

People were saying something about how that was too much like Guild Wars or something...would be cool, but no. Maybe just change the color.
Guildhouses have been thrown in and out as time goes by, but the popular guess is that we are going to have them sooner or later.
My suggestions...
1. Reduce travel time. Booty Bay to Light Hope's is way too much even through Ratchet. I agree there has to be some difference between taking a flight path and using a mage's portal, but difference of 20-ish minutes...
Also the time we spend running around until we get our mount. Now with mounts at 30 it's a little better, but still...
2. Guild partnership. Make possible for a several guilds to keep their status as separate guilds, but also give them the option to chat in common channel, organize raids together, and on and on.
3. Make sure PvE-oriented players get as much fame as the PvP ones. Apparently the first people in the arena charts get to be shown in the armory, as it's their achievement, but what about the PvE fans? Hopefully WotLK's Achievements system will take care of that...
4. Make PvP gear invaluable in PvE. I am sick of people raiding in their Season X set, just because they can. First, they make it harder on us, as we have to compensate their non-raiding stats. Second, we have to try to keep at least two sets of gear. And third, resilience seems to be replacing half of the stats and skills during raids.

Here's another one.
How about closing off instance from groups that have a large disparity between high and low members. If for no other reason then to get these lazy noobs off my back about running them through instances."can you run me thru Dm"".."can you run me thru Stocks?"..sure and maybe after I can underhand the pitches towards you so you don't have to worry about striking out. *sigh*..Get in there and play the game right..group and grind.

invaluable (comparative more invaluable, superlative most invaluable)
1. Of great value; costly, precious, priceless.

Blizzard have said they wanted to implement guild houses, but it doesn't seem to be coming anytime soon. I agree that they would have to make it in instanced areas in one way or another. I would prefer it if they instanced eg. a valley in Orgrimmar, a quarter in Stormwind etc. instead of just having one single house with an instance portal. Then you could perhaps customize the looks of your guild house in some way, and perhaps even share the guild area with a few other guild houses.

Password security:
A hacker only has to upload a keylogger and he can enter your account right away, sell are your stuff and mail it to an alt. There's nothing that Blizzard can do about that. Unless! They make it so that you have an option somewhere that you can enable to get your IP-adress logged. That way you can only enter the game with that IP adress. Now most of the people have only one adress, static. So a hacker could get your password, but he can't enter the game with it because it's logged to your IP.
Though it's harder to protect it if you have an ever-changing IP-adress.
Also LAN-parties and such would have problems with this as well.
But maybe there's a way to work around it. Fingerprint-recognition? :p
Monthly Re-Roll possibiliy? If you do lose everything you can post a message and let it re-roll your account to the last month. I suppose Blizz has back-ups anyway...
This has already been addressed by the
Blizzard Authenticator
.
It is simply a device you purchase from Blizzard (yes, you gotta buy it) that generates a one time random 6-digit number used in addition to your login information. Once registered to your account, Blizzard will know what numbers it will generate and allow you to continue the logon process. This is one of their effort to stem the keylogger hacks.
Please note, I travel a lot so I might have IP providers at home, on the road, in various airports, etc., so a specific IP would not work for me.
