1. Make it so that your friends list is account-wide and not per character. Make it still realm specific, so you can only see the friends online in your realm, but do away with having to add the same new /friends on each of the characters you log in on.

2. Do the same with /ignore

3. Move the /filter toggle to an option under the Options menu, so you can set it globally for your account. The only reason not to do this would be if you shared your account with your kids, in which case you could still leave the old command there.

4. For each new toon, set their default house bind as the house owned by that account on that realm. It gets old to have to run each and every toon out to your house to bind it.

5. Have an option where you can save the UI layout, so that each new toon created will get that layout (positon, size, font size etc..) To do this manually, or to copy the files over each time is annoying.

All of these are excellent suggestions, but don't hold your breath waiting for Mythic to do them.

that one *USED* to be possible, then Mythic went and screwed it up.

it used to be the defaultXXXX.ini files werent updated by the patcher, so you could setup 1 character then rename it to default.ini and all new characters would use those settings..

but for some reason mythic started making the patcher update the default.ini so you couldnt do that anymore..
