It goes without saying that artisan tier crafters products I.e. weapons, armors, alchemical agents etc will be highly sought after clearly defining why you would want to specialize in the “creation” professions. How will you equally entice players to specialize instead in gathering or processing of a specific type of resource? Will specialized gatherers be exclusively able to gather some materials or will they get increasing ammounts from a single node over a non specialized individual? Furthermore for processors.

With races heavily (?) affecting the performance of a class (stats, skills, etc.), does that not incentivise picking a race for min-maxing over the player's actual interest? Furthermore, will there be an option to change one's race in the future when players find out what race works the best for a specific class?

You said that you wanted each weapon to have a unique effect to make each of them have a purpose. Could you elaborate on this a bit? Will swords for instance have increased crit rate, and hammers ignore a percent of the targets defenses or have chance on hit to stun? Is this along the lines of unique weapon utility you were refering to?

Will there be further rewards to taking over/destroying a node development ? What is preventing most people from bandwagoning into an already existing booming metropolis, vs trying to spend resources to take it down? Is the path of least resistance going to be an issue with preventing conflict?

Will resources be available in varying quality? For example, will we see different grades of "Iron" and it's up to the processor or crafter to use or refine the best choice for their project, affecting quality of output?

1. If I am in a large raid attacking a world boss. and a second raid group attacks as well and none of them are flagged for PVP, will friendly fire from raid group 1 effect raid group 2 if the fighting is in close quarters? If so, would that cause corruption?
2. Are you planning for a mechanic that would prevent things like this from happening, and if so, would it only be for world bosses and specific events, or would it be for all mobs?
