This will be ill received, but I think it is time someone said it. There are a few things that really irritate me, and these two are near the top when it comes to Horizons. This is not meant to be constructive or helpful, purely for shock value.
"It's to hard. There shouldn't be a mob that is higher than the others in this area. This is going to scare new players away."

Your absolutely right. In fact, we should color code the freaking areas so that you know that every single mob is level X! I completely understand why you shouldn't be expected to be alert when you are hunting. I mean, seriously. The mobs should actually pass out and die at the site of you. We should give away free experience for even leaving a TOWN! What kind of game company would expect that you actually pay attention when you hunt, and would make hunting challenging by placing a mob that is....gasp....3 levels higher than the others! If they are going to do that we should have NPCs go hunting with people to hold there little hands. A level 20 among level 15's! That needs a support ticket to fix the imbalance in game play. New people will quite if it is that hard.
Seriously! There is a big difference between hunting and grinding adventure experience.

So, all right then. The other thing that really frustrates me is plots. If you think Horizons should be SIM City. Stop reading now.

Where do I even start. What is the purpose of a plot? That's right. It is a mega vault! Build 10 houses crammed together and fill the dead spots with silos and tents. Great idea! You know what would make your plot look a whole lot better? A bulldozer or a fire.
'Hey, I would like to buy X, Please send tell.' "Oh, we have that in our MEGA vault, I mean plot. You can just take whatever because we have stockpiled 500 of item X." <blank stare> 'Eh, okay...well, I would really like to buy it...you know....that whole lack of economy thing, and actually earning it.' "No, no...just take what you need." Behold the new monster, Undead Economy!
"I can't find space, all the guild houses are full and so are the houses and silos and tents. We need MORE item capacity! Ummmmmm...NO, you need less junk. You have 10 of crystal X and costume Y. Maybe you should stop hoarding like a DRAGON and keep what is useful. That economy thing is sitting in your MEGA vault.
"I don't want the Blight to be able to hurt or destroy my buildings. If they add that I will leave." <twitches> Okay, sorry guys, we need to make a peace deal with the Aegis. We can't have them disrupting SIM City. I mean, people are not playing to defeat the Aegis or advance the storyline. They are playing to build HUGE MEGA FREAKING VAULTS, err..plots. Maybe the Aegis will let us build blight anchors that store 1 BILLION Items in another dimension on our plots! Right...
"If people leave and come back and there plot is destroyed, they won't stay" Two words. Plot repossession.
"People can't play all the time to make sure their plot is not attacked." So why did you buy a plot in Old Oaks, rather than Kion? Right, sorry, I forgot that the plots are bigger in Old Oaks for the HUGE MEGA SUPER FREAKING VAULTS.

I guess what I am saying here is that you can make things easy for people who complain about things being hard and turn Horizons into a hoard version of SIM City. Don't even get me started on 'We need another portal because I have to walk to far.'
