It currently seems to be npcs/pets > players > mobs, but it should really be the opposite with the exception of quest nps loading first so they don't vanish in a crowd.

    Targeting needs some much needed improvements. Names/healthbars need adjustments with how they show up. At the moment they just stack, seemingly randomly which makes it very hard to target things sometimes. An option to make them spread or stack (similar to how WoW nameplates, for example), or at least the option to place mobs at the top so they don't get lost under dozens of players.

    Example the party bar is way to cluttered for a healer, I would strip down half of it if I could.
    - Option to mod the party bar more, think of larger health bars.
    - Option to scale buffs and show them as bars
    - Grace timer in instances so you can try the item in case some one wants to pass an item after all
    - Showing your dots larger on target and as first.
    - Specific dot timer bar
    - Specific hot timer bar
    -Option to auto join a 'fate' group on entering fate (can be put off) it's a pain to heal fates other wise.
    - More UI models, personally I find the party model way to big.
    As DD I find it fine, as healer it isn't adequate compared to what can be done by a good modder.
    - Simple pet bar option :
    Aggressive: Does what ever it wants
    Defensive: Only uses abilities you assign through options
    Passive: Manually.

    Let me know if I'm missing something, feel free to add stuff. Not updating the OP with new suggestions anymore as of Sep. 12th, this got out of hand volume-wise.
    Also, I know the people who do these things most likely will not read this, but go cry about server issues somewhere else!

    *Was just told that if you click on "-", a.k.a go below 1, it goes to the maximum amount. That works for me.
    **Yes, we know you can resize most windows individually with CTRL+HOME in the HUD-editor.
    ***Currently, it's as follows: Music in town, teleport out, no music in the zone. Mount up, music. Dismount, silence. Combat, music. Idle in zone, music playing randomly, or silence. I'd love to listen to in-game music all day, but not when it's this spotty, winamp wins. And that's a shame, because most of the music is really nice.

    I agree with everything on your list! Some things i'd add to the list off the top of my head:

    1. Chat bubbles!
    2. Change the sort inventory feature, similar to TERA would be nice
    3. Maybe this exists already, not sure, but make there a way to scroll through group members easier for healing purposes


    Edit: Most importantly - the option to actually play the game would be nice too! Even though we all know how much we love the log-in screen mini game that we've been playing since P4.

    - Auto-dismount when riding into city (why do I need to confirm this with a pop-up?)
    That is a bit annoying, +1 for this.

    - Auto-dismount on skill-use (!)
    Not really needed.

    - Allow to talk to NPCs while mounted (seriously?)
    I assume this isn't allowed because of how cut scenes work. They most likely just take your current character model and use it for the cut scene, meaning if you were mounted when you initiated the cut scene, you'll be mounted in the cut scene.

    - Implement Market Board into Retainers, selling stuff is a pain.
    Slightly annoying but not too much.

    - Add indicator to armory-chest that shows which items are part of a set (for sorting out materia-food and vendor-trash)
    Yes please. +1

    - Make minions unclickable by the owner (not sure this is feasible, but they do get in the way. A lot).
    I've never had this issue, and I play with keyboard only (sometime mouse too)

    Chat bubbles!
    There are chat bubbles? Unless you mean chat bubbles for players, in which case no thanks.

    Change the sort inventory feature, similar to TERA would be nice
    A sort inventory button would be nice since my auto sort seems to be broken.

    Maybe this exists already, not sure, but make there a way to scroll through group members easier for healing purposes
    F1-F5 selects your party members.

    Allow purchase of single items from a stack of items in the market board. No... I don't want to buy 99 Crow feather lures, just.. one...
    Yes please.

    1: This is the single most annoying thing to me. Riding up to a mob you have to first manually dismount before using a skill. PITA
    2: They could surely just draw your unmounted model while you're actually still mounted. Other games do it.
    3: Of course you won't have the issue if you don't use a mouse :P The minion follows you around, of course it gets in the way when trying to click on things, they could have seen this coming^^

    Also @Trenma:
    You can hide friendly players' names (and click through them, if you need to reach an NPC for example) by pressing X. Not sure what else you could do..maybe you can hide them unless in a party?

    I listed this slightly differently in the OP, because the way it is right now, it is the listing players' fault you can't buy single items. If I listed 10 of an item, I'd want to sell all 10 at once. If someone lists 99 of something, they might feel differently, but don't know they have to split the item before listing them. I hope that's okay with you.

    This has to do entirely with how people are posting their items. I think people posting them don't realize they aren't one use items, honestly they probably shouldn't even stack but I believe one synth makes 3. I've sold several but I list them in singles.

    Hell no, if I'm selling an item I want complete control over how much I'm selling it and for what price, no way am I going to play a game where people get the luxury of just buying a couple of my items if they choose to do so. If I put 99 of something up on the market board for a base price, I should have the full option to only sell it in bulk and nothing more. You can't walk into a store and say "Oh, I just want two pieces of bread from this loaf", you have to buy the entire thing.

    If they add an option to allow people to buy amounts off of a stack, sure, but this is a horrible idea to just give you the option with out considering the seller.

    The system in 1.xx had you choose to either sell all the items in a bunch at once or have a bunch of items that people could buy as many as they wanted. Bulk selling as an option isn't bad, it allows charging less but getting more, but I don't want it to be the only option. I hope they bring back the old system of optionally selling in bulk or selling individually without one stack of items taking up 5 retainers worth of selling slots just to cater to those who wish to buy less than 99 of something. It's also far more convenient as a buyer to buy 20 of something out of a stack by inputting the number 20 (like you would for buying things out of an NPC run store) than it is to individually go through the whole purchase process 20 times individually... 1017 isn't the only thing giving people RSI.
