Just wanted to throw my 2 cents at the devs as a player enjoying FFXI right now with one friend, but would like the experience to become smoother.
-Can we please allow trusts in BCNMs, up to the intended party limit? It's difficult to get a party of even 3 together for these (nobody seems to farm the low level ones anymore) and they aren't very solo friendly due to the level cap.
-The party member and pet experience penalty really doesn't have a place in this game anymore with Trusts offering the benefit of a full party without the exp penalty. At this point, removing the penalty would give people less reason not to group up without changing anything else about the leveling process. I know FFXI is transitioning to a more solo environment, but I don't see a great reason to discourage socializing where possible.
If nothing else, I'd really like to play with my friend (or even more than one) without being penalized for it.
-Can there be an option to continually craft until you manually stop or run out of items? I've see this shut down in other threads because it's "botting", but this isn't 2007 anymore. Other MMOs--FFXIV and WoW most notably--allow you to do this. I can't see why FFXI cannot.
-Raised Chocobo to same speed as Rental? Please?
-Trusts in Dynamis? Please?
-On that note, how about a Chocobo Care option that lets us watch the Chocobo until it runs out of stamina? (Any phase after egg, of course). Whenever I don't have enough stamina for anything else, it's very tedious to have to manually click through menus to watch over and over.
-Can Trusts work the same as party members when it comes to hate and switching targets? Something about Trusts specifically makes it so I automatically disengage as soon as I kill a mob and have to re-engage (while respecting cooldown) the next. This results in multi-pulled enemies getting a lot of free attacks and has killed me on the occasional UI malfunction.
-Possible to allow lockstyle of different weapon types than the one you have equipped? Given this isn't a PVP-oriented game, I see no harm in letting myself 'look' like I'm using my AF Great Katana as a SMN as long as I currently meet the requirements to use it on my SAM.
I'm sorry that I didn't get into this game sooner, it's wonderful. I just hope that with the Rhapsodies updates some more QoL improvements are on the way.
