Agreed on the Ajax-y version. From what I've seen (and from my knowledge of HTML/PHP) there is no reason that it should take that many page loads before it finally submits to a database.

Agreed that most are common sense, with some exceptions...

... like the many types of Zones.

Agreed.

Agreed again, although I think it would first take SOE to make the distinction, otherwise it would add confusion between EQ2MAP / non-EQ2MAP.

Agreed again there. One thing that comes to mind for that are the two sets of quest icons -- The difference between offers/updates a quest for placed items makes some sense, but "Gives quest" and "Updates quest" for NPCs is almost splitting hairs to me.

Agreed again. I was thinking to have it as a default for new users, but have a simple option to set to always use the advanced (dropdown) menu.

Sounds good to me =). And from what I've seen, the ingame browser should have no issues with a little bit of Javascript, but I would certainly test it there
