Quick Fix

[Kaych]

When I posted the thread "Anything else?" (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...-Anything-else), it got me thinking that maybe some of you have some things you want "fixed" as well. I am not talking about stuff like "Give Summoners a new avatar!" or "Fix the Relics! They are inferior to Empyrials!". I am talking about stuff that makes the game go "smoother".

I have this term called the "/sigh" factor.

When you die on a Last Boss, and you must repeat the mission, you /sigh.
When you have to shout for 2 hours to get a mission done, you /sigh.
When the party you just joined disbands once as you get there, you /sigh.

Some of these /sigh moments is a part of the game. But some of them shouldnt be. And thats what I think we should make a list of.

In the thread "Anything else?", I explain the unnecicary enter & re-enter a menu everytime you choose a atma, or trade cruor for Items you wanna sell to a NPC.
I have couple more things like this and if you do also, please post them here. I will probaly post a few more things in the future^_-

- When you exit your Mog House after changing a job, you are always asked if you wanna set your HP "for your own safety". Thats fine, but the message also pops up even if you already have your HP there... Why? Those 5 extra seconds it take to exit your Mog House is not much, but this message shouldnt pop up when you already have HP set...

- When you have Auto sort and your inventory is 80/80 inventory space, and you have 1/12 Wind crystals, you are unable to obtain the last 11 to fill a stack. If you throw a item, leaving 79/80 and then get a Wind Crystal you get 2/12 and still have 79/80. Is this really nesicary? Cant the Auto Sort just automaticly sort everything it can even if your inventory is 80/80? Just a thought:P


There are threads like this around that individually discusses a problem, like "Menus, Dialogues, Confirmations, and General Redundancies."-thread by Frost, but gathering them in one place should probably help alot

Here is mine. Player X to Npc, "I wish to receive signet status."
Npc to Player X "Do you wish to attain signet status now?"
Player X to Npc, Yes i wish to attain signet status now"
Npc to Player X "Choose from the 3 options in the menu to receive signet status"
Player X chooses the attain signet status choice from the 3 option menu.
Npc to Player X "Are you sure you wish to choose attain signet status from the menu choices?
Player X to Npc, "Yes i want to choose to attain signet status from the 3 choice menu"
Npc to Player X., " Players X has chosen to attain signet status and now has attained signet status"
Npc to Player X, "Do you wish to exit from the 3 choice attain signet status menu options?"
Player X to Npc, "Yes please let me exit from the 3 choice attain signet status menu options"

After 3 hours and 45 min later Player X has finally been allowed to attain signet status only to find out 1.5 seconds
later signet status has expired ......

Thanks Kaych for the original post, nicely put. I think the event skipping problem in Campaign is the most significant, especially now that not too many people participate. Arrive at battleground, get Tags, mobs all around the fort, try for enhancements, join Union, can't because you died already from being event skipped by mobs or the NPC's giving out Pro/Shell. LOL. As was said all this could be accomplished from Sigil guy.

I get annoyed when my NPC event skips me at FoV books, but I learned to just be patient and wait the half hour it takes for him to decide to cast something. Bless his cotton socks.

I have this term called the "/sigh" factor.

I don't see the difference between sighing and playing SMN. Most things that happens when you play SMN makes you sigh. Mob out of range, mob now in range for BP but it went into absorb mode so now you healed it, spirits casting frost 3 times in a row, you tried to apply hastega but the melee ran away, etc.

Dominion Trophies. I'll take 30 Mederi Feet at once. I would also like to exchange X number of rank R trophies for rank R' trophies.
