hopefully all will be set straight with the next game. Next gen platform = tons more memory = no cut corners. They'll have the room to make MK8 as big as MKDA, MKD, and MKA put together, and STILL have room left over for stuff. So I dont think there will be any thing considered too little or too short next time. Unless they just simply dont take the time to do something.
As far as the two Konquest modes....i like them both. I like the style and gameplay of deceptions konquest, but i like armageddon's story much more. But yea, next MK needs to have a fully roamable konquest like deception. I liked having to search for HOURS to find special items, rather than just "go here, there it is, no waiting, no searching. it's there, all day every day forever and ever."
