The essentials

On console - helpful additions. I know this gets touched on constantly... but nothing is being done. A few QoL improvements would go a long way.

1. Text chat - This wouldn't just help trading/selling/buying, it would help grouping. Voice chat is only helpful when someone actually JOINS the party chat. Area chat is next to worthless unless you want to hear a pack of idiots yelling offensive things at each other. I think i've picked up ONE decent person from area chat since console release.

2. Ultimate meter - A sorc can load up 1000 ultimate for overload.... add this in so people can tell when they hit the max.

3. Damage numbers - we're tired of not knowing if a change in our sets/skills helps our damage or not. watching the health bars move doesn't really give a clear picture. Also, we can't put together new builds when we don't know how they react. So most of us are stuck with cookie cutters or slight off-shoots of them.

4. Wrothgar daily world boss group finder (text chat would fix this also) - Because nothing says "fun" like waiting on top of a rock for people to walk by and see that you need the same WB that they do. Local chat does nothing for this and if your friends aren't online at the time.... SOL. Either make it easier to find a group for these... or make them solo-able. We NEED to do these if we want the new sets.... problem is... most days for console folks - we get 2 rewards that don't drop what we want anyway. With group finder and/or text chat, we could form groups that would do multiple wb dailies like the PC crowd does easily... giving us a few extra chances at the new gear we need for a build.
