It'd be a fun magic world to live in where we could just sit around and think of neat concepts and "poof" they were in game. Hell, I'd sign jup for that gig any day. The staff is not lacking creativity now. Even though you claim to understand the footwork aspect, if you really did you wouldn't have posted this. I'd say for every 10 minutes of fun brainstorming / idea generation there are probably 10+ hours of "un-sexy" work to be done to get it in the game.

So, when I read your post I hear 'Hey, can I have all of my cake, and all of your cake, and eat them both, and then forcefeed you a plate of burned brussel sprouts?' No offense, but I have no desire to make your vision a reality when having the vision is the fun part and you're admitting you don't have the patience to do any of the hard work.
