I got a similar thread detailing many things the game should improve on as well... http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?332212-Suggestions-Review-A-veteran-MMO-player-s-Opinion-on-what-NW-needs!
I made a thread detailing how I feel about the game in general... http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?332212-Suggestions-Review-A-veteran-MMO-player-s-Opinion-on-what-NW-needs! Also commented on the add situation. Currently it is ridiculous.

I got a refund on my original $200 purchase, and got the $59.99 purchase instead. Will probably keep it so if this game ever does get fixed I can come back to it with the perks still there.
