Breakfast Topic: What features from other games would you like to see in WoW?

Most of us don’t just play World of Warcraft. And WoW is certainly not the only game we’ve ever played. While I love the game and consider it far better than most MMOs, I do wish it had some of the features other games have.
EverQuest had its issues and Blizzard improved on most of them, but one thing EQ had that WoW doesn’t is surnames. Once you hit level 20, you could choose a surname for your character. Star Wars:The Old Republic is implementing something similar, only you create a family name for all of your characters. I want to have Roblinator Shinycollector or Peenk Sparkles.
I would also love a sidekick or mentor system like in City of Heroes. Two players of vastly different levels can play together by temporarily kicking up the level of the sidekick or temporarily lowering the level of the higher-level character. I know we have Recruit-A-Friend and there are all those levels to be given, but it’s just not the same as playing together in level-appropriate content with balanced experience gain. I want to invite friends to play and run dungeons together, not run them through dungeons.

This Breakfast Topic has been brought to you by Seed, the AOL guest writer program that brings your words to WoW Insider’s pages.
We’ve all cheated on WoW before. Whether it was Warhammer or Free Realms, we’ve all come back to the game. While Blizzard does a lot of things right, once in awhile, we play another game, see something cool, and ask ourselves, “Why doesn’t Blizz do that?”
We’ve all seen talk about an appearance tab, where players can, for example, wear their Christmas clothing for looks while actually having the stats of their raid gear — the only real difference is the looks. Rift recently announced this feature, so with any luck, much like with guild quests/challenges, the Blizz team will feel like borrowing this as well.
Housing’s another idea that gets tossed around. It was actually being worked on in alpha, but Blizz decided not to go with it. In other games like EverQuest 2, player housing is also what makes towns. Why not allow players to use some space in capital cities and outposts to house their guilds?
In a similar vein, I’d love to see some world PVP that can be captured only by guilds. Darkfall’s player housing is linked with a conquest system in which players get to keep their houses but the conquering guild gets some cash for their guild bank and their name in lights. Every, say, six hours, a town gets “hot.” Imagine if guilds could “capture” Crossroads and have their guild advertised as its protector or take over a rival guild’s home town to start some world PVP guild wars?
What features from other games would you like to see in WoW? Player-owned ships? Terraforming? Factionless PVP servers?
