Sorry for the late edit! Let's discuss some changes I'd like to see, personally:

As a Guide I still feel the sigil and shoulder pad do nothing to identify us to players who need help most - we need something in relays that clearly states 'we are here to help you'. As such, perhaps something glowing above us stating precisely this is needed.

Furthermore, as decoration becomes more of a past time (IKEAframe I'm looking at you) it would make a lot of sense to have a toggle on, toggle off decorating system. It is frustrating to place one item at a time, navigate the menu, place something else, and then do the exact same if changes need to be made. It is slow, and un-intuitive, and this is the same for clan Dojos.

Also, and I speak only for new players here, there need to be more tutorials, perhaps even simulated events that directly show how to do something - for instance a tutorial that takes a player to a simulated trading post with a spectre, that they can trade with. This will explain how trading works, while giving players visual information, which is arguably more valuable than an explanation.
