So for a long time now it's been a problem trying to maccro things with the same name since the game can't differentiate between them. This was a bit of a problem with Trial of the magians especailly the staffs till you renamed them and has become more of one again with Skirmish 2. Many jobs would like to use 2 different augments on the armor but can only get 1 per item so they make 2 different peices. For example with Gendewitha set a brd when he's singing would want to start in one with -song cast time and maybe end with -song recast. And even want 1 with cure cast time and cure potency. rdm would want some fast cast Hagondes peices as well as some macc and some mab ones. Smn would want -perp rate and pet mab and maybe even pet macc/acc/att.

You get the picture. But we can't really fully use them (which I assume was what was intended since you didn't make them rare) if we can't maccro them. So is there anyway to fix that? If only maybe a slight change in name based on the path it's on or something?

You have to post this on the FFXIV forums. All the devs have moved over there.
