It's not a matter if they can add an extra option in the menu, it's the fact the PS2 is hardcoded to "need" to blink, because of RAM/programing issues.

PS2 limitations aside...
<stpt> <stal>
There's NO EXCUSE, NONE, since April 2008.
If you die because a mage tells you you change gear too often you explain <stpt> and <stal>. If they refuse, you kick that mage, and you get a new one.
You HAVE to be joking, please tell me you are joking???? What would be the point in even having this thing called macros available to us then, if we're unable to change gear during battle??? And please stop using the "mages can't cure me because I blink" excuse, and stop playing with mages.
10% of mages use <stal>. It's freaking sad. When I would play PLD before SE retired it for me, there was a certain mithra WHM that used to actually curse me out in tell for changing gear. I explained <stal> to her and about how it would solve her problem 95% of the time. She continued using <st> for at least 2 months before I decided it would be best to just drive her completely insane so whenever she was my WHM I spammed my cure set macro the whole fight. Unfortunately more often than not I would just die because she couldn't cure me and I would be replaced by a tank who also didn't know about <stal> and refused to change visible gear. =(
The fix for healing blinking players in a party have been in there for ever <p0> <p1> <p2> <p3> <p4> <p5> don't even need <stpt>
