== Content ==
			
As we know with MMOs populations fluctuate all the time and it's going to be no different with WildStar but I feel we need to add some components that would make the game feel like it was populated regardless of the actual numbers involved here are my two ideas. ( I posted the dueling Idea somewhere before but it got no views because the PvP forums were being flooded after Drop 2)
 
1.) I would really like to see a Dueling Zone added to the game accessed via N key so that people who would like to learn their classes,test their builds,test their friends and all of the above should be able to go here and duel it out. It shouldn't have many NPCs and should be clean of decals and other non needed things to reduce lag. Would LOVE to see something like this implemented, I'm sure a HUGE population of WoW only still plays because they are able to sit around and duel. Please Carbine GIVE THIS TO US!
 
2.)Also I would like to see a global chat introduced to the game because the population numbers are going down a tad bit. Let's reconnect the population by giving people a way to communicate throughout the server and bring us into a bigger sense of immersion. This simple tool could be abused but if we implement the right things we could easily use this to bring back that "head start" feeling.

1. would be uneeded as people usually already have their places that they sit around and duel. not sure about Dominion side, but exiles is around the AH in Academy corner.
 
2. I am on the fence about this. "could be abused"? I would say will be, and no amount of tools will change that. I like being able to leave a zone and not have to listen to someone who has decided that the chat is their personal soapbox, or a couple of people going back and forth about something better talked about via pms. so while this might be a good looking idea.... no, just no. the only thing a global chat does is fill up your ignore list fast.

I am with Kestriel,
 
Not fond of "game wide" global chat at all.  I end up turning off "trade chat" in WoW for the "usual crude shenanigans". :P

Well we could make it so you would have to OPT-IN the global chat instead of it being an automatic thing.
 
As for the dueling area, on my server bloodsworn there are only 1-3 people at a time dueling and they are usually 20-49. Everyone else that I've encountered that wants to duel states that Thayd is just to laggy to duel in and we warp to each others houses. I think more dueling would be going on if the game itself directed people to a location they could go to do such a thing. w

1) We don';t need dueling areas. However I would love to see a better dueling system that lets you do group duels of varying sizes which would be great for events. In addition to that offer wagering as well so team A can put up an item or a certain amount of gold and team be can do the same. Winner gets the losers wager...
 
This can even go further by allowing spectators to add on top of trhe wagers as well....
 
 
2) A global LFG that acts as a regular channel would be nice. People can turn it off if they want to of course as well. I can't speak for tohers, but while I'm aware trade and advice are "gl;obal" I don't feel comfortable using them for doing LFG calls. Circles as well only have so many people in them too...
 
If not that, then a level bracketed global chat would be good as well that people have the choice to opt in to help others in lower level brackets somewhat like in Rift.
