Now, I know that the next update will be mainly focused on the Imperial City being brought to PvP and that's fine, I just thought I'd give some suggestions for things that could be added in the future.
Single-shoulder pauldrons
Now, so far, I've only completed 3 Gold keys (my highest level character is VR 10 as of now) and I've only gotten one of the 2-piece set items, that being the Pauldron of Infernal Maw (I think that's what it was called). It looked awesome to have a pauldron only on one shoulder! But when I levelled up, I had to switch back to the double shoulder Bosmer pauldrons. Personally, I think there are loads of pauldron styles that'd look awesome. Maybe add an option to have the pauldrons on the right shoulder, left shoulder or both?
Possible invasions
And what I mean is making it possible to invade other alliances. Like if you're part of the Daggerfall Covenant and you somehow manage to get to one of the Ebonheart Pact gates, you could sneak through and invade the Ebonheart Pact play areas WITHOUT being veteran rank. You'd be playing in the same playspace as the Pact players and they could attack you, you could attack them. It'd add a whole new depth of immersion to the game and make it a lot more tense. Of course, it'd be a good idea to add an option to disable PvP in home alliances. Also, you could maybe get disguises for the Mage's and Fighter's guild, which cause guards to ignore you since the guilds are neutral in the war.
Dark Brotherhood & other guilds
Yes, I know, this has probably been said more times than you can count but I'd still like to bring it up. The other guilds I speak of include the Morag Tong and Thieves Guild (maybe more, if there are). Now, the Thieve's Guild will obviously be about stealing stuff. It could also add a new mechanic to levelling the Thieve's Guild skill line: You advance it when you steal stuff BUT murdering results in losing skill points. On the other hand, the Morag Tong and Dark Brotherhood can gain advance when you take on assassination contracts (again, imemrsion and roleplay potential) and decreases when you get caught in the act. This makes it so you have to choose between being a professional thief or a professional assassin. Not only that but maybe you can't be part of both the Morag Tong and the Dark Brotherhood at the same time, taking in their huge rivalry. With this being the case, it could easily be an opportunity for another PvP environment.
Racial Styles
Let's face it, at this point, blue motifs are as common as lockpicks. Of course, people will try and squeeze some money from newbies and others, like myself, will just give away blue motifs to new players. I think the blue racial styles should maybe be a rare item for merchants to sell, either all merchants or maybe just the ones on the road. It'd give far more incentive to actually interact with the merchants on the road since they're really useless right now. They wouldn't drop purple or Imperial motifs, mind you but the blue ones, yeah.

Expansion packs
Now, I don't know if there's one of these in the works but while playing the game, I've seen SO MANY HINTS for expansion packs. From Sotha Sil's messenger telling me to seek out Sotha Sil in Ebonheart at level 10, all the way to EVERYONE saying something like "Your story is just beginning" later on. I'd really like to know some of the concepts of expansion packs they're working on. Will there be a vampire vs werewolf one? Another Daedric Prince? The Bloodthorns, Veiled Heritance and Worm Cult banding together? Will there be alliance-specific expansion packs? Will they depend on your choices, such as the choice between Thallik, Estre and Angoth? SO MANY QUESTIONS AND POSSIBILITIES
Well, I think that about does it for me. CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is welcome.
