I'm not sure about adding a PvP aspect, but otherwise, I really like these suggestions. I would just hope the escort missions don't end up as horrible as in other MMOs. (Nobody likes them. Nobody.)
I think a lot could be accomplished by simply working with what we already have. Supplier missions aren't really worth doing right now (not much pay + harsh time limits if you don't know exactly where to find the NPC), but that could be changed. Kitin camp deliveries are in the same boat. They require around an hour to do (at least forest does), barely pay for themselves in terms of dappers, so the only reward is not that many faction points. Especially the low level zones award pitiful amounts, even at max fame. I would like the rewards buffed/changed, or maybe the missions being randomized, so it's not the exact same route every single time.
There is also the Encyclopaedia, which could definitely be worked with. Right now it's just kind of there, just like achievements. Maybe interesting titles could provide more incentive to explore.
All in all, I like the ideas in this post, as well as the direction you took it - positive reinforcement instead of punishing those who dare use a game mechanic.
