This is simply my take and what I want to see. I'll constantly update this thread when I can or when new ideas come to me. Feel free to give me feedback, negative or positive, the more people that see this and comment the more chances that GBX will actually use my and your ideas.
I do have a story and dlc idea but, they are terribly underdeveloped.

Action Skill – Invisibility Cloak
Class – Siren
Name – UNDECIDED
Action Skill – Elemental Twister
Class – Mechanic
Name – Dante
Action Skill – Turret
Color Classes
Green - Mission Items
Yellow - Cash, Eridium, and Ammo (sharable auto pickups)
White - Red Text Items (unique) (mission rewards)

Gold and Pearl beams stand taller and thicker than other colored beams.
Each boss has their own unique white and gold item that they can drop.
Each raid boss has a set of items that when all are equipped give extra benefits.
All raid bosses can drop any rare or legendary item.
White and purple guns are the only ones with unique effects all other item classes just increase in strength overall.
Vault Hunter Modes
Vault Hunter Mode (Play-through 1) Average level when completed: 25-30. Enemy level: 1 level below host, Boss level: at hosts level, Raid boss level: 1 level above host

Level cap is set at 50 constantly.
Skill points are given instead of raising the level cap.
10 skill points will be given for completing the DLCs. 5 for each expansion.
5 skill points will be given through an update after the dlc. Skill points in the form of SDUs.
All enemies scale to hosts level.
Drop rates are higher in more difficult playthroughs.
DLC should be one giant expansion, serving as a story in between the story.

Raid Bosses are 9 per try.
New Golden Chest 25 eridium per try. (guaranteed pink at your lv.)
End game raidable vault 99 eridium per try. (guaranteed red+ at your lv.)
