The number one issue for me is that damn you can't attack bug. The other day I think I died like 3-4 times due to this damn bug. In my opinion this is the single most frustraiting issue in the game for me. Playing a white lion pet class it happens probably about 50% of the time when your pet attacks something first. The only solution I've found is to keep my pet in passive mode till after I'm fighting. Even then sometimes the pet will get on adds and then I can't attack them.
Other then that I've had a couple crashes but the next most irritating thing is the black screen bug when you task switch out of war. This even happens sometimes when I'm running it in windowed mode
Then crafting system work. The crafting system is very incomplete.
FPS performance issues don't exist for me. I'm having great performance in all circumstances. I'm running vista 64 with an 8800gtx.
I agree the can't attack bug is a pain in the ass- i usually have to pull them to max distance then they warp back to where they are supposed to be. Black screen bug is annoying but only seems to happen to me if ive been playing wayyyy too long. Next, please, please get rid of the 20 seconds between mail or at least let us mail multiple different items at a time. Other than that maybe some tweaking to line of sight, and maybe take away my ability to aoe through walls.
Good poll, thought I'd give it a bump. I hope they keep working on FPS - frankly I have few problems, but the smoother they make the game the better it will be.
I believe that would clearly be option 2, although I've yet to run into lag that made it unplayable, I agree at times they need to smooth things out. I personally run the game on Fastest Framerate, see if that helps you.....

Right on I forgot about the mail thing. yes that is definitely number 3 for me too. 20 seconds per send and it is slow to open too. deailing with mail is a pain. Also remember the last address you entered. simple thing but it is a pain to have to reenter it over and over.
Yeah line of sight is good too. Casters can hit you though walls and stuff which is pretty bogus.
Making Order more attractive by adding classes or another race. Personally I'd love to see a wood elf race or more easily implemented; a human knight class because I think that would attract a lot of people. At least some change to fix pop imbalance and which tempts me, as a happy Destruction player, to give Order a shot. So far too much rock & roll is on the Destro side and RvR can only really shine with healthy populations of each faction on every server.
actually a very good idea to balance the population to add a "pretty" knight class. that always pulls a lot of players to that faciton.

Imo the 20 sec thing is just temporary... MBJ recently admitted that auction system almost didn't make it into release and I suppose mail shares the same subsystems. Imo they've put 20 sec timer in there to be sure that it works well under limited load. Much better option imo than to have mail crash on release day, no? I'm sure they'll decrease or completely remove this limitation very soon.
As for line of sight...that's an eternal problem with this type of games. I don't think it'll ever be completely fixed but we're bound to see improvements as the game gets patched up. Just keep sending those bug reports... knowing how Mythic operates I'm sure someone is reading them.

good news for me, was afraid this mail thing would be there permanently!
Oh yes this is gonna hurt the game. Chat is so dead the game feels like it is dying. Not having a good chat system in a MMORPG while not a bug is a rediculous design decision unless you just don't want to have a community.
The tiny regional /1 chat is a joke at best. There should be a tier chat for each faction. This would help organize RvR attacks and stuff and pull people in. It would also give new people a place to ask questions and form connections for groups, guilds, quests, etc.
I would suggest 3 chat channels. /defense, /auction, /help all being tier wide.
I'd rather shoot myself then ever use integrated voice chat again...DDO was a nightmare hearing kids yelling, babies crying etc it ruins the immersion of the game. Its one thing to use Vent or Teamspeak with people you know but random X person....talk about another way to kill off chatting in game.
Ingetrated voice chat would techincally be more Server Side lag ... and annoying.
I hope they keep working on game flow more than anything. Its a great game but it does have some rough edges.

Banth, you don't have to be so melodramatic, you know you can choose not to use int VC in a PUG right?
I have been using it in EQ2 recently, and the game runs smooth with it, you can choose to participate (talk or just listen), set up channels for you and your friends or whatever, and it's extremely intuitive to use.
If a 4+ year old game can get it right, surely this 'next gen' one can?
No need for the worst case scenario you (always) describe to be true. The gain is far more then the loss. Maybe people would actually evolve above zerg tactics with it. Who knows.

1st gameflow
2nd bug fixes
3rd crafting
now its starting to become more in the way i thought this poll. Crafting still strong tho!
crafting prolly gonna drop once more votes are in i think
dang, was hoping crafting would top the list, perhaps a mythic rep would see it and bring it to attention of devs

Where's the most important one? Fix the damn lag.

Both AH and mailsystem needs work to be done on them, well atleast they work now, sort of
Global chat and integrated VC plz.
# 11 : Other = Improve chat.
Making "need" only selectable on items usuable by the class. Too many needy bastards out there.

Better social UI. This would include improvements to the AH, mailbox, chat and unit frames.
