I've created a Suggested Reading - Popular Player Threads list, and added it to the Guild Recruitment & Helpful Links list.
I need your help to get this list populated.
First, if you see a thread you think is really good and should be included, please mark the Original Post as a Favorite. If anyone points me at a thread for inclusion that has at least 7* Favorites, I'll add it to this list.
Second, please post links to any threads here so I can easily find them. It's a lot harder to read every post in every thread now that there are so many more people here, so things are slipping by me.
Please keep in mind this is for Player threads, not dev posts.
I'd like to thank you all now for helping make this useful.
* I may change this number (with consideration of your feedback) if necessary.

Shieldmates is a popular subject that is good for helping people get connected so they can get all the daily deals and receive the Shieldmate Mark.

This still needs a couple favourites on the initial post, but then, so do some of the other suggestions:
Please Don't Neglect the Z-Axis (flying, swimming, etc.).

I'm not so great with acronym soup, so I'm not sure what you're clarifying. What's the difference between "initial post" and "OP"?

@Keovar, there's no difference. I'm clarifying that I will require *** 5 *** Favorites.
That's why I said it still needed a couple, since it currently has 3. That is similarly the case with some links posted by Being. I doubt enough people use the favourites system to make many threads qualify, but maybe by suggesting ones that are close, people reading this thread will check them out and finish up the remainder.

@Nihimon, One reason I included it was that Ryan said "They" would be watching that post and that it would be mandatory reading for all developers.
Some other ideas on criteria might be: number of posts, number of responses/input from developers (lisa, Ryan, etc.)
Having been a lurker here for a while I do applaud all you are doing for this. Your input has not gone unnoticed by this plebe.
Now if I could just figure out how to PM people I could go back to lurking.

Here is one very informative and interesting thread to which I have added a fifth favorite
Character Customization
I don't recall seeing it linked in your resource thread.

@Snowbear, I'm hesitant to list them based on how many posts they have because often that's just a handful of people going back and forth. I've been that guy enough to recognize it :) However, your suggestion to list the threads that the devs have explicitly said they're paying attention to makes a lot of sense. I've listed the MMO Wish List now.
@Being, I've listed Character Customization as well, thanks for bringing that to my attention.
