If Vanguard devs would give us a content creation tool similar to EQ2's new system, could the game be renewed?

Also, would the price/time cost of developing such a tool be too great for SOE or could it be plausible?

Thoughts are welcomed, be mature though please.

Maybe for end-game players who have done it all.

With this being mentioned though i'm a little confused, do people think this game doesn't have a lot of content? 

I don't know about end-game stuff, but there is tons of content for leveling characters, i've literally had my exp gain turned off just so I wouldn't outlevel content I wanted to get around to doing in other areas/continents.

Vnaguard really isnt setup for player-created content(EDIT: Imo). It would require a very intense and specific system to make an AAA MMO where the players could control the world.

LFD tools are great for cramming people into content, but quality > quantity.
I am, usually on the sandbox .. more "hardcore" side of things, but I also do just want to have fun. So lighten up already :)

You know if the system was actually created in such a way that you had to make use of in game content in order to access and create your own content it might work. What I mean is if you take something like boat building in VG and use it as an example of who PCC (Player Create Content) worked, so in building a boat you need pieces of finished parts from all of the different crafters. 

So let's say for PCC you need a varity of items, materials, and skills from different crafters, adventures and diplomates in order to create said content. 

While this might seem tedious and would certainly call for an overhaul of the game systems (at least to add in nodes where the various spheres have access to the required PCC items). But I think it would fit the nature of Vanguard very well.

Haha now that would be great.

If I could just connect to the VSoH sources and fix bugs in there ...

I would fix so many things that annoyed the hell out of me.
