I LOVE the hideout/guild house idea.

I also wish the healing system was different. This is really picky of me, but it doesn't make sense for you to go up to random NPCs and ask them to "heal" you when you've been hurt. What are they supposedly doing, waving their magic wand and making you all better? Instead, I would like it if you had to go to a tavern, and you could either buy something to eat, which would bring your health up quite a bit, or you could rent a room for the night and sleep, which would restore all your health. They might not get a ton of use because your health restores by itself anyway, but it would be good if you didn't want to wait. I guess I just want sleeping and eating somehow incorporated into the game.

I hate the chat system, as others have said. CURSE IT. I wish we had, at the bottom of the screen, a chat window that stayed up all the time so that I didn't have to keep clicking to open it and so that it would be easier to read. There also has to be some way to make it easier to multitask; I want to be able to call for help while battling an enemy without having to pause to type. I don't know how that would work, though, I just want them to make it happen.

I also want us to have to deal with sharks somehow. I don't know how, but sharks would be cool.

I would also like to see more smuggling incorporated into the game, such as more quests where you could take your ship from one island to the next and smuggle rum and illegal goods back and forth for gold.

Oh, and another thing I really want: the ability to go into the captain's quarters/below deck on ships. It just sounds like fun.
