Dang....Somebody put this to graphic, "Why do mystics lick their own balls...... Because they can!"
NO, many MMOs have there features....Just left the Tortanic and they had all that social point stuff...Problem was, when I finally got the points to put the "dancer" outfit on my female companion, her body parts disappearred and she was a head floating over a bikina top with feet. Actually, that was the last straw for me...I was able to overlook the awful gear aesthetics for my toon, the terrible illum fps issues, and Huttball 95% of all battle ground ques...But to waste hours grinding social points for that was the last straw. I knew I was putting myself up for ridicule with my description of a toon from another game.

Dang...Now I wanna get in game and check them out!
I'm going to preface this by saying that some (maybe all) of what I'm going to suggest may already be implemented in this game further down the line (beyond level 32). But I would like to raise some asthetics that I have enjoyed in MMOs through the years that I found enhanced my enjoyment of the games. I have absolutely nothing negative to say thus far about this game and am looking forward to the headstart this Saturday. With this said, here are some suggestions:
Crafting: I hope recipes are available or perhaps later will be available to make costume pieces. I don't mind questing for such recipes. I did see where there are some pieces (masks, capes, etc.) that can be obtained through reputation points in the future. But it will add much to crafting to be able to make such pieces ourselves. As it currently stands, outside of alchemy...nothing seems to be relevant to make for yourself until you reach level 60. I found I outleveled anything I made within a couple hours of making it or found a better drop.
Titles: I'm sure they're there. Hope they are fun titles and not just "leutanent, centurian, etc."
Annual and Impromptu events: AKA special holiday questlines, events, instances, etc.
OMG... PETS!!!! Lots of pets you can purchase, find rare drops, special quests, etc.
Finally (I've seen threads about this before): Barbershops to change up your looks later in the game.
For example, I once played a game (which shall not be named) in which I head an undead lock with the title/name of "Chef Boyardead". He was dressed with chef's hat and white tux looking very much as you'd expect. He would bring the high end platters of buff foods into every instance to share with others, etc. I totally enjoyed that character, and believe it or not....I don't fancy myself to be a RP type of player.

LOL...Old people like myself (over 45-49) are heavily casters and range class players I noticed from your results....Know why? Gives just a little more delay time before we get smacked around (I need every added second to compensate for my slower response time). Playing a sorc myself. Some will say, but a sorc needs quick reflexes to play well. So I'll admit....I don't play it well 8)
