Suggestions: Quality of Life Stuff and other suggestions

[Kjara]

I'm sure this has been suggested in the past, so consider this just a reminder.

Please consider lifting some restrictions from the older content. While things like Expeditionary Force, Garrison, or capped BCNMs may be considered obsolete at this point, there are still players like me who would like to get a chance to live the experience but are restricted by the requirements. It is hard these days to find 5 other players of your same home nation to do an Expeditionary Force battle where there is virtually no reward. Similarly, the inability to access Trusts to Garrison or capped BCNMs is also an issue. FFXI is a game that thrives on nostalgia, and it's honestly a shame to be unable to re-live some of the 2003 content because of these requirements.

Please add Blacklist to the selections when selecting a name with the chat window expanded. If I expand the chat window then move up to select the name, the current options are tell/request/cancelrequest/search/target/warnplayer/thumbsup/muteplayer. Please add an option to blacklist. It would also be nice to have the option to blacklist someone with the chat window expanded. Currently if the window is expanded and I try to blacklist someone I get "You cannot use that command while viewing the chat log."

Are you really living the experience though if you don't experience it the same way other people did?

Thing is, content like that wasn't even popular when it came out.

Remove blaze / dread spikes from Domain Invasion Dragons.

I know why you added them but they cause massive FPS problems, when there are a lot of players.

Either that or just show the graphic effect for spikes to your party only.

Alternatively, make an option to hide all players that aren't part of your alliance.

I wish you could do this in general. Putting the show models slider all the way down is still not good enough. when there are 80 characters afk on top of a home point, they need to be invisible.

Add some equip that *totally* negate knockback moves.

I know there are items in the game such as Vocane Ring that make it less annoying but they are not 100% and since XI has a lot of multibox players, and this infuriates them can we get an ingame way to stop it? Maybe a reward from VR missions?

This is so bad that it could lead to people who do multibox to quit, and that is stupid.

No, they shouldn't completely invalidate a mechanic because it upsets multiboxers. They don't get special treatment. If that makes then quit then good bye to them.

Why is content like Dynamis - Divergence, introduced in November 2017 still restricted to 3 person entry in 2022? Normal Dynamis does not have a entry restriction.
Why for every job you have to visit all the zones just to upgrade relic body? Players with limited time and with out groups are being blocked for this content.

Artifact 2+ 3- No restrictions for Omen entry requirements and Omen KI's drop off random enemies.

Emp 2+ 3 - No restrictions for Sortie entry requirement all armor unlocks based on job entered.

Congestion.

Do a /yell for 2 people to join, you don't even need to fight since it's just entry? People do this all the time on Asura, either for the clear or for the silver voucher.
