    Removing the clicky-combat and the stupid camera angle too. Don't forget those.

    There is NOTHING they can do to the NGE that would bring me back at this point.  There is no magic bullet publish that will ever turn NGE around.  Nor will any combination of what they are doing or have planned.  Not going to happen, the subscriber number is already down by half, and each day fewer people than before subscribe, not more.

    Pre-CU classic server:  80% chance of bringing me back

    You can "autoaim" and "autoattack" in the NGE, actually.  And the camera angle can be changed.

    Doesn't change the fact the game still sucks, but you can strike those things off your list.

    Ranger/Scout/CH - would love to see it back, but don't look to see it back within a year.
    Doctor/BE - No need for it in the NGE
    Mercenary - Why?  Pick a prof and call yourself a mercenary.  Actually, just be a BH.

    2. Forced player interdependence

    Hard to make something like work into a game where 80 percent of the players have never known it.

    3. Wounds and Battle Fatigue

    See point 2.

    4. States (KD, Dizzy, Stunned..etc)

    Somewhat in the game now.  Grenades and such to dizzy / stunned effects that drop your defenses or lower your accuracy.  Never understood why KD was taken out, other than to remove overspawning.

    5. Grouping made more viable for grinding/hunting

    Would be nice, but likely never to happen

    6. Harvesting

    You can harvest now.  Not like you could before, but you CAN do it.

    7. Decay

    See point 2.

    8. Doc Buffs (see #1)

    Don't medics have buffs?

    But that is a main reason most of us have left the game in thie 1st place, by removing these things from the game. More profession choices = more diversity/more real world feel of the game = more fun for those who have quit. Many people left becuase the lack of professions. Just by adding some expertise, or RPing you charcter a diffrent doesn't make the game any better IMO.

    More combat options. I was a Pistoleer and miss blind shot, body shot etc. Also adding these to MOBS would increase the challenge.

    But that is whole issue. The "not like you could before" is why most of us left and continue to leave. By bring  some of these back and making "like it was before" would at least be a step in the right direction for vets who still would like to play the game again.
