After a newbie asked about queuing today, I realized that our queuing system (stratagems) is quite high up in Combat for a new player to reasonably consider getting before guild skills, Conglutinate, etc. I also realized that stratagems are very, very useful since it has command separators, and it supports all the different types of balances (normal bal/eq, arm, psionic channels, etc.).
I'd like to propose, though, that we also have a basic queuing system that even fresh newbies can access just for the QoL. Something that only supports, say, normal balance/equilibrium, and you can only stack up to 1 command in it (rather than the 10 that Stratagem provides). Stratagems would supersede this stratagem-lite after they've learned it.
About command separation: You can do that in aliases as well. Just use || to separate commands in there (I think you can have any (reasonable) number of commands as well).
EDIT: Which is reason enough to remove the silly three-command limit of stratagems, since you can use aliases in stratagems, and thus get far more than the three anyway.
Since we already have COMMUNE/CITY/GUILDMESSAGES, can we add ORDERMESSAGES, too?

Because HELP HAIR CURIOS is pleasantly informative, I feel it would be a great gesture to go back and make a HELP COOKING CURIOS. It is easy to forget what bottles are in what collections and what you might even need pieces for, and having a simple directory for them in-game would be immensely useful. Info on how the foods stack would be a nice bonus as well.
There is now a HELP COOKING CURIOS for all your obsessive collecting needs!
LIBRARY LOG should have a note for when other libraries submit things for prestige and what those submissions are, because it's a pain to find prestige submissions manually.
Any sufficiently advanced pun is indistinguishable from comedy.

I really love getting a truefavour. They are awesome and one thing that makes you like 'whee, god noticed that I gave him a bunch of essence :x ". However, I would really love if we had an option to tell how our skills look like without the truefavour. Because learning is really difficult without that piece of information.

Think I've mentioned this before, but it would be aces to have some method of transferring a design from one cartel to another.
Could be a one-time-use item you buy with credits, or could be a set gold fee, whatever. I know that people would buy it and would use it, though. If there's concern about stealing from deeded cartels, could make it only work on private non-deeded cartels. Nudge nudge, hint hint.

This used to be a thing, but people used it to steal designs out of org cartels, so this mechanic was removed. It would certainly be nice to have it back with limitations.

Ohh! I didn't know that. :O Well that's encouraging at least, since we know it's possible mechanically! Limiting it to non-deeded/not-org cartels might be enough to prevent abuse. (I think? I hope.)

Hmm. The difference now is that designs are submitted with designers mentioned. Granted, not all in the population of designs have a designer attached; however I don't see why the credited maker of a design couldn't have the ability to move their design from cartel A to cartel B.
Alternatively, if you own two cartels for the same trade (say you buy one from someone else), being able to merge them under one name would be another nifty option.
The GA artifact is both blessing and curse. It lets you do practically anything in the guild, but at the same time, you are obligated to oversee everything in the guild.

I was gonna say "there's Masquerade" but that costs essence to maintain for some reason.
