Dungeon system similar to other up and coming popular games. After a certain level, you get access to a dungeon that requires you to kill monsters. This would also incorporate the long awaited crafting system. In the dungeon, you collect materials to craft and enhance equipment which lets you deal more damage in the dungeon. The equipment would also affect your normal hunting damage for increased dps. Similar to challenges, completing things in the dungeon would give currency rewards. Maybe have bosses every so often. Perhaps even a solo/duo/group setup like challenges, except the group setup wouldn't be exactly 6. Maybe 4 instead. Can have a random matchmaking system to avoid long wait times on finding groups along with having a private system for specific people you want to go with, like friends. Gear would have a stereotypical rating system; color coordinated from white(common) to orange(legendary). I don't have any thoughts for the paid side of it. For it to be the full fledged progression system after inferno, it would have to be a fully operational and balanced system that does not at all require any payments to continue. Much like support level provides a substantial but not required progression boost. An energy system would piss most everyone off so I'd like to see an unlimited access system. How far you get isn't based on money spent or spending x energy per day, it's based on a base progression/gear acquirement per day along with additional progression based on how much time you are willing to spend grinding for material. Anyone can get on and do the base stuff per day, and people with free time can spend a few hours grinding for more material and gear. Think of it like the original run of the invasion event. After you 50 valor per day, you could still keep grinding for reduced rewards. I think this should be accessed starting at level 500.
