Im just wondering if maybe there is a way of improving development of new features in future patches by improving or giving the wishlist section more of a structure so it prevents a lot of posts about features that will not be implemented for a very long time.

Im thing maybe a post after the one that sais "must read" which states the topics that should be discussed that are possible to implement into the next patch and in the future which is a post written by devs.

for example, lets say 1 month they have a topic which states that these are the discussions that shoudl happen in teh wishlist

combat system, GUI, camera control, professions, and other stuff

Then when some of these have been accomplished and are satifactory they will be marked off and new ones will be added that can be completed in teh next month or 2.

I thought maybe this method would probably help out the implementation of new features derived from the wishlist more efficiently as forum sections and topics tend to get very big and a lot of good ideas that may be implemented easily tend to get pushed back into the pile if no one replies which i would think hgappens a lot as peopel always post new topics and very quickly.

The smaller your request is, the more likely it is to be implemented and the sooner it will be implemented.

For example, a feature like "Make the mouse wheel affect the range of the 3rd person camera" can be done by a prospect or a member at any time.  Whereas, "Make all the buildings have interiors also so we can open any door we want and go inside them" or "Combat should be rewritten to allow clicking on body parts each swing" are much bigger tasks and more fundamental changes, so they are unlikely to be done for years, no matter how good of an idea it is.
