In the new interface I like the draggable panels but it would be really nice if the user could change the shape of the panels, such as the social panel having Exploration map, Buddies, and Duels on the first row and the rest on the second row, or even having the panel vertical. this would help stop the menu and social panels, among others, stop taking up so much space.

I think that's a really good suggestion which we have actually given some thoughts into! I believe that it would be great, in general, to allow players to have flexible control over how to layout the tools and widgets on the screen - probably something akin to how players can easily change their GUI layout (and even key bindings) in certain MMOs.

Sounds great!
Plus, if you create an adaptible panel, this error will also be removed as side-effect:
