Hi
 
 I remember since early Beta, Wildstar's "devs are listening".. I was wondering about player-made adventures.
 It can be an extra (paid) service, like a expansion that allows players to create their own "caretaker's simulation" (adventures). You can make a guild event, make your own lore in this simulation, maybe even create something very cool about Dominion/Exile past. It's just a simulation, do whatever you want cupcake ;)
 You can share this adventure with your friends and maybe a player based poll will allow, let's say top 10 player made adventures each month to be available to everyone.
 
 It's not hard to make, some games like STO and NW has this type of feature, but it can be very fun to players and of course give a profit for Carbine, that can charge for this service somehow.
 
 Thanks :)

Sounds a LOT like the Architect Entertainment System from City of Heroes.  That thing was incredible.

I've played a bit on NW beta and was impressed with their system.
 
I can't say I'm 100% sure such a system would never happen in WS considering all the crazy things Carbine has done already, especially when having the housing system in mind... That said it might be a while before they do it.
 
So yeah maybe it's a slim chance, but who knows, it may well happen one day.

			Small dungeons like the ones in housing, being able to be built like housing plots by players would be awesome. That's the only thing I actually "play" on NW. I do love their foundry.

That's actually a pretty cool idea.
 
You could have it so that an 'adventure' is basically a large housing plot of variable dimensions, with a crate of infinite decor. You can customize the map and layout however you choose.
 
Traps and sets of mobs can be purchasable with gold to add another money sink to the game, or found as loot found only in dungeons or adventures or warplots. This would encourage people to get out and compete in those events. I know that Warplots already allow you to capture dungeon bosses and place them in your Warplot. You might be able to do the exact same thing here! 
 
The only thing I wonder is, what would you give players who complete your instance? Surely you can't award them Glory or Renown, as I can see players just creating needlessly simple instances to power level their friends through the game.

You don't actually need to give rewards - as mentioned, that leads to people trying to game the system - instead, give everyone a rating system so that they can rate the content they go through.
 
Some of the most immersive, compelling content I played through in Neverwinter was actually built by players.
 
Player-generated content becomes a neat way for players to tell their own stories and add soloable/fun things to the game without having to do a lot of dev work or screwing up progression from official content.  So, I'm in favor of this idea, if it can be implemented.
