@Sammichu in order:
1. Yes! I also enjoyed pressing abilities or firing weapons as I entered portals in GW2 and wish I could see the animations the same when I enter BfN portals. Now (for instance), if I enter the portal as Nightcap and time it so my Fung Fu activates just as I cross into the portal, I can hear my Fung Fu at the vortex screen but can’t see it happening. I hope this makes sense.
2. Agreed. Solo/Private Play is a must.
3. Agreed. It also seems playing solo Ops (PvE region based) awards far less than the portal/multiplayer Ops. This should be adjusted and if farming or xp is going to remain so guarded, an increase in xp for Ops should be applied to both solo and multiplayer.
4. Don’t care about hats but not opposed.

@spIash_damageI remember back in GW2 when I went into the multiplayer/mystery portal as citron I'd almost always go into ball form and use the spindash to enter the portal, only to see my citron in the portal screen with the spindash particles a few seconds later, having characters float around in the portal would certainly make waiting a little less boring, heck, maybe even allow players to use gestures or emotes whilst they're in the portal, so that people in groups can communicate without needing VOIP or without exiting the portal.
And whilst people are on the topic of xp, maybe resources might need a quick look at? Because trying to get tacos after I've opened all chests and beaten all quests is boring, and it was the reason it took me around a week to get the pink acorn costume once I had finally unlocked it. Same goes for badges and marshmallows, those are also pretty boring to get without quests or chests to sort out.
What bothers me is some people spend dozens of hours on PvE/100%ing them and get jack diddly for doing so. NOTHING but the option to BUY a character skin.
When I completed all PvE, Rux’s Store wasn’t open for business so it didn’t bother me as much but now that Legendary customizations are being offered on the store, I think the Grand Prize’s for PvE areas should be awarded when you 100% any given map (the option to buy should remain in tact until maps are completed).
@Sammichu I agree with you, they are not necessary for gameplay in any way, but are nice for improving gameplay. Same goes with how customisations work!
I've found an effective way to get a lot of XP is to go onto a crowded giddy park server where the plants are camping at the spawn gate and use space stations crater maker on them XD
