Personally I was quite happy with the game up until 60 - enough to have done it three times now. I agree that soloable content at 60 is limited but I really like the small group content and there is more of that for 60's than for any other single level - it takes quite a while to go from 'just hit 60' to 'can only make further progress by raiding' which is where my game ends. I hope more solo content does get added as I enjoy that as well and groups aren't always easy to find.
I'd love to see a better system for levelling crafting skills and better results from having done so. None of my characters are crafters - I just don't see the point since most of what they can make is junk and the little that isn't I can buy or commission. In particular making items for the sole purpose of improving your skill is terrible - everything should be useful in some way. I like what I've heard of Vanguards 'fill NPC work orders' idea - along with a deeper crafting system it might disguise the crafting grind as well as WOW has disguised the levelling one.
I'd like truly random items too - not as a complete replacement for the current system (I like the ability to plan for gear acquisition) but as an adjunct to it. Some by straight drop, some by crafting, some by a combination of methods?
