Hello~! I'm sure some/most of these have been mentioned in the oodles of pages before this one, but I'd like to mention 'em all the same! I returned to XI about two months ago after a hiatus, so I can't really say anything from the uber-endgamey angle. Plenty of far more qualified people can, and have, suggested stuff there.

So as far as personal wants/suggestions go~

*- Abyssea seal quests.
While nothing will beat the good ol' fashioned "make a group, kill the NM, get the seals" approach the Abyssea class armour, the Quests for the seals do feel like they're sadly too frustrating at the moment. Especially for people who can't be on often/consistent enough to form groups for obtaining every single armour piece via NM bopping. Perhaps keep the chance of obtaining a seal from the Abyssea quests the same (30~%), but make the seal that drops always one for the job you're doing the quest on?


*- Fields/Grounds of Valor page choices.
I love that the pages can now be set to auto-repeat and can be done multiple times a day (wonderful change from the 'can only do it once a day and have to set it manually each time' days), but most of the pages in the various FoV/GoV books seem rather disproportionate on the effort vs reward scale.

Some are spot-on, like Zeruhn Mines and the ol' Gusgen Mines/Crawler's Nest/Bostaunieux route, but many others require killing mobs that are too far away from each other, so you spend most of your time running to and from spawn points, rather than fighting. Changing the mobs required for some pages or changing the spawn placements of mobs could help open up a lot potential EXP spots, and let people get more use out of the many beautiful zones in FFXI~!


*- Fields/Grounds of Valor in Promathia/Aht Urhgan/WotG zones.
It'd help breathe some extra life into the once popular spots, and give people more options to choose from for getting some nice, solo/small group EXP. And with ToAU zones, help people raise their Imperial Standing points once again!


*- Dancer Waltz timers.
Mentioned by others a few times before, reducing the recast timers on a few of the Waltzes, or letting them have separate timers, would make a world of difference!


Those are the main suggestions I could think of; after racking my brain for a bit. They're not as endgame/content focused as many of the great suggestions others have brought up in this thread, but they might help out us more casual players of FFXI a little bit. Thanks for listening/reading to us all!
