Just simple ideas to improve players quality of life.
 
1. Remove level restricitons on items when used as costume pieces. I can't tell you how many cool items I have saved for alts but they can't use them because they are too low of a level. Makes searching for unique costume pieces much less rewarding if I have to wait until max level to have nice costumes.
 
2. Fix achievements. I've done so many world bosses and group events and never got credit and its very frustrating.
 
3. Add more ways to get rep for Blighthaven and Malgrave. Having only a few daily events that only happen a few times a day makes getting rep very difficult if you can't play at the exact times events are happening and you miss out. Also, for the love of all that is holy, reduce Hellrose Bowl colleciton requirements.
 
4. Add tracking for challenges. I want to know which challenges I have completed, where every challenge is located, and the highest medal I have earned in those challenges. Right now, getting 100% map completion is near-impossible because I have to individually track every achievement (that I have found) and record my medal. If I don't remember because I did it while leveling, I'll have to do it again. So no way in hell.
 
5. Make leveling alts more enjoyable, especially for end-game. I know they are adding an item to Ohmna to relieve some of this, but that's 1 item per 20 people on a boss not many guilds have killed yet. Steps like faction reputation and world world bosses are unnecessary if you've done it once. I can see adventures and dungeons as a benchmark to prove you're capable with that class, but scrap the rest.
 
7. Fix cooking. The drop rate of meat, the amount of different non-prodcuce ingredients, and the amount of meat required to cook for some of the talent points is simply insane. 300 meat meals?? The cheapest thing to make is Tough Jerky, which takes 3 pieces of meat. That's 900!!! pieces of meat for one talent point. And the design is atrocious. You need to unlock more ingredients to more accurately craft food, but you need talent points to hit your target, but you can't experiment very much because of the extremely low drop chance of meat, and it's just a vicious cycle. Seriously screw cooking.
 
Those are my major gripes. Feel free to offer your own suggestions!

			I have to ask about 2:Did you do those world bosses before the change that both factions gets completion when they attack? Because for me I had to re-do doomthorn, simply because I did it early in game and a few dominion stole the kill. Were you alive when the kill happened? Being dead tends to prevent you from getting anything from it. 5. I can see the reason behind forcing everyone to repeat world bosses - if the game doesn't have a lot of new players buying it, nobody will want to do the world bosses with new players. Of course they could go a different route and just add some mega rare loot into their loot tables.

I think it would improve MY quality of life if other people would stop making suggestions to improve theirs, but try and imply I will think of it as an improvement.
 
I enjoy my life and its quality a lot.
 
1. are the costume pieces actually costume pieces or gear that you would like as a costume?
 
5. alts. I have quite a few so far, and have no issues with how they level or have the system set up.
 
I guess the short version of the OP would be "I want you to improve MY quality of life".

			Oh, sorry. Didn't read the whole of it. It doesn't show medals etc. but OrionChallenges shows every challenge on the map and has a UI from which you can start and cancel challenges as well as see how much you have to wait for a challenge to reset. And considering getting gold in every (or almost every) challenge is easy I don't see the point of having the ability where you got gold and where you didn't. Unless you want get gold and forget the challenge forever.

Leave as is please.  Already really easy to get max rep in both locations.  R-12 happens every 4 hours (12PM EST / 4PM EST / 8PM EST, etc).  If you really cant catch these events, or feel gated, perhaps you should assess what game you play.
 
 
 
This can already be done.
 
 
Leave levelling alts, and the alt system alone.  The attunement process is already very simple and doesnt have steep requirements to complete.  People who complain about something easy are funny.  Throw jellybeans at them.

Ahhmmm, I have a feeling they stripped the code used for equipping gear to use on the costume interface.  Why?  Because they did this SUPER last minute and because it behaves very similarly (including the level thing).  Will they fix it?  Don't hold your breath, everything to do with aesthetics is not a priority for them... everything in a few months.  
 
To me rep and dailies in WildStar are a complete fail and it boggles my mind whenever people defend them.  I agree with you that more ways to get rep in those places would be nice, but in my opinion the whole system needs a kick in the behind.
 
While I don't agree with some of the tone of the people responding (did you guys skip coffee this morning or something?! ouch so mean and entitled, hell)... It really is YOUR QOL list.  I don't personally care for achievements or cooking (or crafting).
 
Good feedback for Carbine, decently explained and written though.

			I am pretty sure 4 already exists.  I can see what challenges I've finished and what I missed in my log.

We shouldn't need an addon.

			For those wondering about the tracking challenges thing, I have great news! I just logged on the PTR and saw a bunch of achievements pop up. They seem to have fixed challenge credit AND added achievements with all the available challenges. If you got a gold medal in one, the challenge's name turns green and voila! :)

I still can't sit when pressing my hotkey to sit.  There are too many QoL things to list that already should've been in the game.  As someone else posted on the forums a while ago - players in this day and age expect a game to have all of the basic features of its predecessors, not to take a step back, especially in QoL features.
 
But there are very basic features that Wildstar is missing.  I wouldn't expect them any time soon, especially with all the important fixes that need to be made and the fact that each patch/hotfix breaks something else.
