*Hunting*
Well first things first, i think it would be an amazing idea to add in hunting for your dinos. Example, you can have the option to send your Raptor named "Bob" to go hunt and it would hunt anything it can take on. When you want it to come back to you, you can have a whistle that says "Return Home" or "Cancel Hunt" bringing back all resources he/she has obtained. And if your dino is ever low on health or in a situation were he cannot possibly win(or have a low chance of winning), there would be an alert saying "Your Raptor Bob lvl63 is in trouble!" and show his current position. You could possibly call him back bringing the threats to you, or run towards him to risk having him dying while waiting for you to arrive still fighting
*Packs*
Okay, so packs. I got the idea from the update coming out with the Dire Wolf. They say they are always in packs and the strongest is claimed/titles "Alpha" not like the alpha raptor/rex/carno but just stating it is the strongest and is the leader, as well as being a pack boosts stats ect.
So the idea is that what if you can do that with all of the creatures that roam in packs? Like Raptors for example. What if raptors would have the same concept? Like an alpha that is known as the highest level of the pack and the followers make the whole pack stronger. This would also be put in with the *Hunting* subject. When you send "The Alpha" to hunt, it would bring it's pack along with it, making it a hunting party. Of course while having the option to send them solo rather then together.
*Npc Tribes*
For the final subject of this post , I bring you the idea of "Npc Tribes". This would be an option to have on/off before starting the server (preferably default "off"). The npc tribes would basically be humans just like you just in another tribe with dinos tamed. They would be hostile , and gather your equipment after you've been killed by them. There could be an option that sets a scale of how advanced/evolved they are. They would roam the world just like you and even try to raid your base while you are there/away hunting or gathering. They would have their own color scheme and tribe name set by the Devs of Ark. Of course this idea has the set back of the world not being all so big so there probably would only be able to have 2-3 tribes depending on sizes of them. They'd also have a random placement so they're not always found in 1 location. You would also be able to "enslave" them as you would online with players (keep them locked up, knocked out and use them for blood bags or something). If npcs are added, there could be other thing to do like hire for shops or military purposes but that's an idea for another day.
