One thing that really pisses me off about the FFXI community

Also if the game comes with instructions and you don't read them - you don't get any sympathy from me if you whine that you don't know how to do stuff. That said XI only sells as a download now, generally, so, there is no box to get instructions in.

I bet no one in this thread remembers that, but from this point on its all they'll cite for reasoning.

On the topic of UI updates I would like to have a update to the macros. Think something was brought up in another tread bout them and I can't remember all of it. I understand if they couldn't add more lines to them cause of lolps2 but a command to add to the end of the macro to start the next one with the limit of it that it couldn't keep repeating it self and only could go up to 3 tops.

As for mini- map as long as i could turn it off when I didn't want or need to see it, I would have no problem with it.

In this thread: Why should user interfaces be intuitive when you can read the manual?

To me, it seems more like "Anyone who cares uses windower for the things they want." And anyone on 360 or ps2 doesn't know what theyre missing and most don't care lol.
Exp bars are annoying too, I don't want to be constantly reminded of how far I have to go, I hate that so so much.

Information is annoying?

Me starting to thinks Rogs is simply playing the Devil's Advocate for fun.

It's probably because the topic is started with insults.

I personally like the UI the way it is, and I personally prefer this type of UI as to WoW's and all the other MMOs that have followed it.

That's not me being a child. That's just me disagreeing with you.

Actually, no. Not this time.

I do not understand why someone would be annoyed by relevant information.

I think (Hope) He means "Cluttering your screen" kinda like how Pokemon has it under their HP bar.

I think its fine under the Status Tab as is.

If he's talking about having one at all, then yah i see your point.

That is an incredibly poor example.

But yeah, that can be annoying, depending on where it is.
