We asked for this countless times, and I seriously doubt that it will ever happen.
I understand priorities though, and a lot of the changes we have seen so far seem to have been necessary, so I wont cry over apartments even though I can't imagine why they wont let us put real furniture in them and a few more items. Why even have the damn things then ? Why not just remove them altogether??
Anyway, I think I would rather have the ability to capture territory and see something stir up the somewhat absent conflict (see absent in-game story posts).
This game seems like it is really becoming a sci-fi EQ without the abundance of unique dungeons and rare spawns, planes, etc. If this game is going to be a level, loot, and dungeon game, then give us the dungeons and rare spawns and crap like EQ and get it over with. If this game is to really be anything like the game I signed up for, something needs to be done because the same old routine is killing the desire to keep playing.
I don't know, maybe after playing so many MMORGs UO, AC, EQ, DAOC, I got so sick of seeing the same thing with a twist. Maybe I'm jaded.
