I think that this would be good for small dungeons, not primaries. I want there to be exploration of the world to the point of finding hidden gems. What I mean by this is going down towards a beach and finding sunken ruins that have something inside of them, rather than just the aesthetics of it. Or solving a puzzle to get into the ruins, or beach caves. Small things like this for exploration. This is where randomly generated content could flourish, but for main places no random stuff.

Mini games are ok. I personally disagree with them being associated with crafting. I think crafting should be meaningful, hard and time consuming. However, I come from an age of grinding so my vision might be skewed.

I think that it all depends on how influential crafting is going to be. I read on the blogs that they want it to be a player-created/item centered game..so I think mini games don't need to be there. Just don't make the click/chop take 9 hours. One aspect I've seen is skill = clusters. So a person with 1 Mining skill gets 1 ore per hit, but by the time he's level 20 in mining he gets clusters of the ore. Granted this could have economical repros, but that is a whole different discussion.

I put my vote on Greenmire. Things with Death/Hell/Doom/Die will usually get the most votes, lol. Also as far as the information released thus far, I like it. I'm skeptical for what will become of it but a PnP to MMO, as others have expressed, is very exciting. Especially for one that I play in. I look forward to seeing how the game will pan out.
