Ignoring balance issues, what mechanic from another game would you add to WoW if you could?

Those of you who know me probably know that I’ve been playing Fortnite for a couple months now. And aside from my appreciation for the way it moves is pseudo-story forward and provides intrigue for its massive player base, there are other aspects of it I just genuinely enjoy. One of those is the building aspect of it.

See, when you collect enough of a given material — which is pretty easy to do — you can build platforms, staircases, walls, and roofs. As a result, whenever you find a hill you want to go up or a chasm you want to cross, you simply need enough materials to make it happen. It’s a simple design, and frankly one I initially took for granted. It’s part of the game. It’s in its DNA. Utilize it during gameplay and move on.

But then I realized I wanted this sort of build mechanic in WoW. I would find a hill or a big drop or something that I could easily build around in Fortnite, and I would, for a split second, think I could use Fortnite’s building system to get around it. Obviously, it only took me a second to realize I’d had wires crossed, but that time was long enough to make me kind of wish World of Warcraft had a similar system.

Oh, don’t get me wrong — I know it would be imbalanced and would never actually work in the game. But it hasn’t stopped me from wondering what areas I could build my way to, were the building ability to exist. And on a more feasible note, Fortnite’s also gotten me used to sliding down the sides of hills to avoid fall damage. It’s something I tried to do earlier tonight before realizing that pressing myself as close to the cliff face as possible wouldn’t do anything to help make my fall less painful.

What I’m getting at here is, there are mechanics from different games out there that I’d love to see added to WoW. No, they’re not actually feasible mechanics. They would, in fact, break the game. But, ignoring that, it’s fun to imagine the game with those mechanics. So I ask you, readers — what other game’s mechanic would you add to WoW if you could?
