Wearable armor, glider, and fishing. I would be set for a long time. A new weapon or shield would be nice. More creatures and rarer finds.

With a rating system I wonder if it would be possible to make player made ruins?
Admittedly the worldās are beautiful and the regen helps to keep it fresh, but that also makes it veryā¦ open. Way open. And kinda lonely.
There have been quite a few builds even in the last couple months that players have purposely abandoned and left to regen.
Would it be possible to have a beacon be able to tally votes into a āmake this a ruinā option, and give it x days to tally votes to decide before the beacon auto destroys itself? Or a special new beacon?
Player ruins would have to have no active beacons/plots, as it has been decided by the builder to give it up.
Number of votes could determine how slowly it deteriorates, if at all.
Would be like the Boundless versions of Stonehenge, or the Pyramids of Giza.
Yay/nay? Too complex or undoable?

Thatās a good idea! Or at least show a landmark or something signaling āhey, somethingās here, go look!ā.
Also, I know not really related much to your post, but it reminded me 'cos of your screenshot remark. A photo mode would be nice, with perhaps more detail further away. And, what I would love, love, love, is taking a picture and being able to display it on a sign or a picture frame (new item, yay!).
This could work to advertise places in other towns, I mentioned it before, but then I can build my travel agency with pictures of notable builds!
Heck I could even have portals there to those builds.
Hmm, wouldnāt it be nice to be able to have more access rights on locks, say, pay 100c to enter and poof, thereās a portal behind it and you go to the place you just saw the picture of!
So many things that could be added.
Wish more people played this so the dev team would be much, much bigger!

With so much time to play and all the research you do, you should be doing great, coinwise. If you like I can come visit you and see if I can offer suggestions.
The people who have lots of coin in this game got it because they got creative and made it. If you just build in the middle of no where, have no portals, or have lack luster builds, no one will come and spend coin.
Everyone started with a totem and a warp augment. I grinded my first coils with an iron hammerā¦ I didnāt just start the game with coin. I work hard hard hard to earn what I have and in return I slash prices in my shop so people who donāt have a ton of coin can afford to buy my stuff. I fund my baskets at high prices and I use almost all my coin so people who farm can make a living and will know to come back.
Anyone can make coin in this game if you put in a bit of effort. Considering you have so much time, Iām thinking just somethingās isnāt clicking. I seriously would love to help you. Iām always on either my main, Ginabean, or my crafter, Elphabaā¦ I mostly hang out in my shop, The Witches Brew.
Truthfully, Janna, itās all about the portals. Get the right portals in the right places. If you build it, they will come.

Keep in mind that those include all of the early backers who havenāt played after the launch. Iād imagine there are more ppl like me who didnāt know itās āfinishedā now so they havenāt left the sanctum yet.
Fair enough, but still more than 50% of the people that have bought this game have never actually played the game in itās current state.
Thatās an interesting perspective give even if I disagree. Everyone does not want the restrictions that come with being part of a settlement near a portal hub. It is harder to expand with all the other players arounfd and you are likely to be surrounded by other players. Personally I like to have some nature around my build which is harder when everyone wants to build to try and gain footfall.
As someone that has built in the same place, we do have a portal. But since many of us share permissions we get no footfall from each other and there is minimal traffic from other players. So having a portal does not automatically equal coin. Sure we could build a hub and then spend our time hunting and trading for Oort to run it, but why should everyone have to play the game by running a portal network to get coin? The player base is not going to support an infinite number of portal hubs anyway.
The game also cannot have every player running a store. The store owners need buyers and why should everyone be doing the exact same thing? The game is called boundless not Shopkeeper.
Think there is a lot of over simplification on the reasons why players are getting discouraged or frustrated with the game. It is not like they do not know how to mine so they need to be shown how to use a hammer. I think the issue is more basic in how the game mechanics are favoring a few roles for th generation of coin, while at the same time a portion of the player base is insisting everyone should be participating in the economy and if they are not the economy is broken. They seem to want the game changed so people canāt get what they need on their own in a reasonable time so they are forced to spend large amounts of time being part of the economy. Then when a segment of the player base says they do not have the coin to participate they are told they are playing wrong or should do one of the two that I already mentioned. It may be that a segment of the player base will never have enough coin to actively participate in the economy given the current mechanics.

For me.
Im looking for farming.
Also it would be neat if exploring would rewards youā¦ random material chests here and there. Etc.
after looking and posting in a few threads for me what would entice me to play like i did back in EA would be to lower the massive grind mountain we got now back in EA i used to use gem tools to dig up glass mats cuz if i ever needed more gems mineing them was somewhat pain free 2 or 3 HRās and i would have what i needed for a few tools not like now where its 5 or 6 HRs plus how ever long it takes to farm the forge mats.
or at the vary lest make it feel like the player is getting more done in shorter time frames then it is cuz right now i dont even bother mineing unless i feel like or have the time to do a 6 HR run

Agreed. What I plan on completing in a day usually takes me a weekā¦ because I need to go farm this, that, and this, craft that, then use what I just crafted to craft what I actually set out to craft in the first place, and THEN, 3 days later I get to START doing that thing I wanted to do in the first place.
I donāt hate it, but it does tend to make me play less. āHey, I wanna hunt! Shoot, weapon is almost brokenā¦ and Iām low on enriched bonding agentā¦ hmm, also out of shimmering orbsā¦ oh well I think Iāll just skip Boundless entirely today.ā
Really not complaining, but thatās my loop lol.

Maybe a couple leaderboards or top 100 lists, like the 100 richest characters and how many coins they have, or top 100 land owners with the most plotsā¦
Iām curious which characters they are. Curious to see what it takes to make it on the lust.
It might entice some players to try to get on the list.

Well, before I went on what is now a very extensive break I spent 30ish million to make sure the money was back in the economy rather than sat in an unloved character.
I didnt consider myself rich and pretty sure some have waaaay more due to things like gleam door minting and the bug with spark price. As for plots, seen a lot of people with 50k+ . Might give you an insight to how high that leader board could go lol
There used to be some sort of geocaching going on in this game way back, I built a house at one of the spots I picked up from a player-gone storeās geocache location tokens for sale and itās freaking amazing terrain for a refreshing getaway from it all and shoot gobs of roadies that flock to the puddle in the yard 
The location let me build straight into a cliffside so itās enhanced nature outside and neon pink vaporcore inside.
What bug with the spark price?
Pretty sure it was spark. It minted for waaaaay more than it was intended and was highly profitable to mint it after converting pretty much any coal.
Long fixed now and it only lasted a day at most

I still log on and play, but there is room for improvement. Pets and mounts are always a plus in an mmo. I would also like to see more craftable furnishing/decor items to fill empty buildings. I donāt mind using my imagination, but adding to crafting wouldnāt hurt at all.
