I've always had a concept of a quest that granted a new form of signet should be added. Instead of only a bonus for chaining, a bonus would also be given for skillchains and magic bursts as well. Another bonus given for EXPing in Zones not under conquest by your nation.
Make it some quest, people on the mainlands are thinking the Near East has made adventurers soft and want to reinforce teamwork and strategy. Some questable NM involved and all that. Make it a quest accessable to players at level 50 thier first time through. Something like that.
