I'd fund the whole effort myself to give monstrosity an update.

Would also be nice to finally be able to take trusts into old-days level capped content such as BCNMs and Eco-Warrior quests. I'm sure there's some technicalities why trusts cannot be used there, but maybe by changing the mechanism through which that content's level is capped (and making it more like the current level sync system) they could be solved.

I would graciously ask for an update to this feature of the game, and/or expedite any help needed in suggestions for encouraging others to use it. -

I love Monstrosity so much.. there was so much potential for fun with that system. Hell, they could have even included a new job "Morpher" and let people use the monsters in content like ambuscade lol, I think it would be fun but thats just me I guess.

Huge thumbs up to anything Monstrosity. It'd be great if beastmen could be added as a class too. Imagine starting as a lowly Grappler to turn into an Orcish Overlord by the end.
Also, unrelated but right now the /itemsearch command does not check your moogle storage slips or any of the storage NPCs in Vana'diel (mythic weapon storage for example). This makes the command not as useful as it's meant to be and I hope it can be fixed. -

It'd be nice if things like Treasure Chests / Coffers and gathering nodes (Mining Point, Harvesting Point etc.) appeared on widescan.

Often times I see a ship docked and decide to try and take it, only for it to leave by the time I'm done going through the customs. It'd be helpful if the NPC at the customs informed you of how long the ship has before its departure (similarly to the NPC at the docks).

But when the game went through the big changes post-2010, every job got wide-scan, and at low levels too.
So, it doesn't matter anymore, from a Lore perspective, if they add coffers etc. to wide-scan, they might as well. Doesn't matter to me.
I'm just glad FFXI is still online at all, its something of a miracle to me.
