Here are my thoughts.
Better in game explanations: Is actually needed judging by all the questions on world chat but its not very fun is it?
More Achievements: Would be nice but is it really necessary?
More consumable items: I think we only need one that boosts each stat in each category(drink, herb, food) but the quality bit could be expanded. With higher quality the prices could rise which could make the consumable professions a bit more profitable.
Special items/awards for completing special tasks: Been thinking of this one myself for a while now. Would be cool if they were named after the people from the top of the heros lists from the age before, for example if king richard finishes the age at 1st in duel wins then next version there could be a TA called king richard's _. it'S effects could be based on what title he had and what his weapons focus was, e.g -sword usage cost +%damage and +luck in duels or something.
Faster way to spend turns: Really? i don't like this, hordes are quick enough.
More/better tavern games: Good idea but i wouldn't choose it over some of the other options here. it would be nice if there was easy ways play with other players. a game of Go would be nice called stones, chess called tcheran stuff like that
Bigger differences between weapon types: Could be fun.
More mount customization:
More? i didn't know there was any to begin with ;P
Make quests easier to find/choose: I would be happy just being able to sort them once i had accepted them.
More profession options: I think they are pretty much fine, only slight balancing is needed IMHO with some of them. survivalist is pants though, the reward coin needs to be boosted A LOT.
Bigger distinction between darkfriends and non-darkfriends: Sounds interesting
More equipment options: Would be nice but is it needed? I don't know?
Add special areas only accessible in special cases: WOW I want more info on this
do you mean like the eye of the world? or maybe during the first stages of the last battle darkfriends get access to shayol ghul and lightfriends get dragonmount/fields of merrilor.
Less travel time/need to travel so often: No need in my opinion
Improved Market: the only thing wrong with current system is people that put up useless items or things that are way overpriced, thats not the fault of the market
Spying:I don't find any problems with the current methods of spying
More benefits for city control: Yes please
and how about special avatars for town officers? Eds gotta have something to do
good work on the new ones based on worth Ed (thumbs up)
Improved clan warfare: Again yes please! but i have zero ideas though...lucky it not my job then
A story line for the game to follow: Meh
More classes: I wouldn't say no
More elaborate quests: yeah! sounds interesting
Dual wield the same type of item:I'm all for this one! Maybe the weapon specific skills could be replaced with something else to make it More balanced or Only allow dual wielding when you have reached a certain level in an item skill.
More equipment stats: Could be cool? cant think of any though....dexterity?..i'm not 100% sure what equipment stats means :/
More Tournament options: Could be fun. Just a side point about tournaments, I don't like entering them because I have to devote so many turns to competing, usually against allies. I would love it if tourney battles don't take up turns and you don't earn ji or exp only tourney points and the winner/winners get ji as part of their prize.
Improved Horde/Army battles: They seem to be quite tricky to balance.
Bigger Map (more cities and wilderness): YES YES YES!!!!! open up at least part of the seanchan continent, the town in the blight, mayene and he sea folk islands. i understand the problems involved but im sure they can be resolved with some thought
i'm happy to help in any way i can in this regard.
More NPC variety: meh, maybe an npc clan?
Calendar specific events (holidays, battles, etc): sounds cool but i'm not giving it one of my votes
More options for existing businesses: i wouldn't say no
More things to spend coin on: estates soak up all my gold as it is.
Improve Estates: again i wouldn't say no.
Improve Last Battle stuff: i wasn't around for it in the test so can't really speak about it
well thats all my thoughts just in case Anyone cares
