It's always good to see these issues brought to light and discussed, as they are very sorely needed.
An integrity issue that wasn't yet brought up, at least from what I've read in these posts so far is boss briefing for Ironmen. If the suggestions that bolster the use of instanced bosses does pass, I'd hope to potentially see the option for instances at Godwars, KQ and Corp, as there's not a whole lot more demoralizing than spending the time to get to these bosses, only to find that they're either accidentally or purposely damaged by someone else and ruin a drop. It's been happening more on a purposeful basis at Corp, as people will just sit outside of caves and intentionally grief a kill for whatever thrill it gives. I know Corp would be a bit more challenging, but I hope maybe there'd be some way to create a playerside instance that remains active even after teleporting (for Spec refills, banking etc). Otherwise maybe introducing standard instances for KQ and GWD bosses, and including changes in death mechanics to keep items safe, with a cost of course, so that there's still a risk involved.
Also, can there be clarification on the Enchanter's Mage Training Arena proposal? Short of allowing players their own instance, or buffing the amount of points given by playing the game without counting Dragonstones, I'm not quite sure what'll help there, though I'm thrilled to see it mentioned.
Again, thanks to all the Mods for bringing this issues out. I'm looking forward to seeing some positive changes.
