After watching all the streams over the past day, it seems there are many questions asked repeatedly.
While the time gaps between streams warrants updates on some, I thought it would be interesting to see if we could come up with some questions that havent been asked yet and collect them here.
Here are a few I've been thinking about:
1. Will there be collections? If so what will that system look like? Shinies?!?!?
2. Will there be rare crafting recipes and materials? If so, how would a crafter obtain said rare recipe?
3. Will there be public quests? Something like what happens outside the gates in Antonia and Commonlands in EQ2 now/GuildWars style.
4. Will there be "rest" areas when logging for increased exp gain? (I know this is very WoWish but I'm curious).
5. Mercenaries?
1.) Can we toggle off having to see other player's vanity pets.
As for your #2 OP, they have said as much in one of the streams I believe. Maybe Bazgrim can find it. They will also have rare forges/crafting stations deep in some dungeons for the really good stuff you have to make.
