Arm Chair Designer: Taverns

Taverns
The idea is to make Taverns a more of a social area, and a place to get information.
Chat Areas/Channels: Each tavern would have several chat areas/channels. This would allow for smaller area chats. Those public channels can get to be overwhelming.
Grouping Tool: Grouping tool integrated into the Taverns. Maybe everyone in a chat area can vote on a dungeon, then automatically form groups and transport to the dungeon.
Rumors
Talking to various NPC’s in the taverns might reveal different types of rumors.
Treasure Hunter Rumors: A daily treasure cache (treasure chest, boss treasure drop, etc) would spawn somewhere in a delve appropriate to your level.
Thieves Guild Rumors: A single person in town has an extra bit of loot he/she is carrying around. A cache box has appeared in someone's home. Loot bonus from a particular Heist map.
Undaunted Rumors: Rumor that a certain type of item has a better chance to drop in 4person dungeons.
Skyshard Rumor: Gives you a hint of a skyshard you HAVEN’T found
Crafting Rumors: Gives you a hint of a large collection of a particular crafting item (ore, leather, etc).
Veteran Dark Anchor Rumors: Rumors of a General and his minions are attempting to flood out of a particular dolman in one of the vet areas. Destroy the General to receive a trophy.
Pub Games
Dominion: Flat out license the deck building game Dominion. The online implementation of this game was completely messed up, and they need someone to take over the digital version. The games are very short. You can play 2-4 people, and its expandible. The different cards could be earned through questing and/or you could put some in the crown store for purchase.

Some type of shuffle board game. Flick disks into the center of a board to score. Knock other players pieces out of the way to prevent them from scoring.
Dice gambling game: Some sort of Liar’s Dice or other “push your luck” type of game.
Beetle Racing or some sort of critter: This would be a gambling game. (Not sure if gambling is a good idea in an MMO. feels like there would need to be limits.) Six beetles on a track with their odds of winning posted. Then everyone places bets and the beetles race.
Provisioning Crafting bonus: Increase in provision leveling if cooking in a tavern.
