The Daily Grind: Are there lore elements you feel don't get used enough?

What has always bugged me in WoW after B.C. expansion is the fact that the game has turned from World of WARcraft into world of Mutual-respect-and-city-sharingcraft. I'd kill you on sight if I see you raise a banner near a saw mill I don't care about, but standing next to the bank where I keep all my most valuable and hard earned goods, I'd leave you alone...
I guess my disgruntle is more about the world not fitting the lore, than one faction not getting enough story time.

Dark Astoria, anyone?

FFXI : the zilarts, i would like to know more about their civilization
also want to visit the "original Vana'diel"

wow : Draenor , before blasted and became Outland

Sometimes I feel the "evil" side of things and ambiguous morality isn't explored much, maybe due to laziness, maybe due to technical or design or budget limitations, doesn't matter.

Age of Conan's low fantasy setting is better at it than most games, but I'm playing a Dark Templar (pictured to the left *heart*), who is described as sacrificing his humanity to dark beings for power, but sometimes my only quest dialogue option is to condemn the foul magics of certain groups that need to be dealt with and head off to kill them. It's not a major game breaker but It leaves a little to be desired.

Although I'm not completely pumped for The Secret World I think it might have a lot going on in the ambiguous morality area, at least I'm hoping.

Rift: The actual Rifts.
WoW: Horde vs Alliance
Aion: Tower of Eternity
Runescape: The Goblins

I think that if Age of Conan had come out bug-free and fully voiced, not only would it have way more players and not be F2P, but we wouldn't be seeing this much fuss about TOR.

Stupid Funcom.

In classic EQ, players took a faction hit or gain when attacking various NPCs. It was a trade off to consider. I miss that in the current crop of MMOs.

I think Rift should have started with more interaction from the planes. Either in the abilities or how certain quests are handled, there should be a greater sense of the world getting holes in it and the two factions dealing with that or using it to their advantage. I think they need something more surreal than the current rifts. Maybe getting close to a rift actually could warp space or time somehow.

I think a wider variety of inter-planar events are needed as well, so maybe there's the full on rifts and invasions, but how about individual monsters dropping out of little holes in the air in the middle of cities? Maybe some bigger monsters can squeeze through from time to time. Stuff like that could simply flesh out the world and maintain a sense of danger without having everything neatly centered around the little Rifts.

Ultimately, I think the game missed some opportunities for some really inspired design, both in terms of game and character design. It's solid, but it could have pushed it a lot further.

The OLD GODS, Titans and the SCOURGE in world of warcraft. They story of Wrath of the Lich King should not have ended with Arthas' demise, but with Arthas emerging and releasing himself from the Lich King, becoming something more than just a casualty of war. What is this? He went through all that shit to die in the end? I dislike that, I despise that...

I've tried hard to think of any lore in Guild Wars that could do with a little in-depth delving, but to be honest out of all 3 campaigns and the EotN expansion, all I could think of were maybe the Wardens of the Echovald Forest and/or the Outcasts in the Jade Sea.
