I'm not sure what to call this idea, but I am thinking of ways to help alleviate players' frustration over completing all quests that involve a patch. I recommend creating a "fire forest" or "dead forest" in a special hidden place (like the wintery place) where players can tend, dig and plant saplings. Here, the patches would be bountiful and trees would die rapidly because of the heat (on irregular cycles of the developers' choosing maybe based on XP of the player who planted the item).
This place could be accessible from the bogs or one of the new areas being built. I envision it would have a time limit that could be extended by certain actions much like Baqala (et al). There should be no teleports allowed directly into this place, and while getting in is one-way, there could be various drops or exits. I've given this a lot of thought. LMK if you'd like more of these thoughts.
