Heres an example of a good confimation window: Purchasing conquest items. It displays the item, then if you can't equip it, it tells you and since you cannot return the item it asks you if you wish to purchase. Thank you, I appreciate that.

An example of a bad menu I've provided many times is the auction house. You can read that back in the original post. Also, if you think setting up billing was a breeze you're a masochist. Theres a whole page dedicated to just one drop down menu. What the hell.

Alkalinehoe, you can't just remove steps (you have to click the ffxi icon at some point to bring up POL) because you want to, and hitting enter ADDS some steps, IE button presses. The "Never seen this step" is the phishing spam crap if you can tell me how to get rid of it I'd appreciate it.

Also, if POL was the only issue I would not have spent the time doing all the internet footwork to link accounts and make a SE account to vent on the forum. The UI/Menus are frustrating and so backwards.
I don't get why you have to double click FFXI and POL icons? Wouldn't you just need to do either/or? It's a moot point since all programs/games/applications require you to start them up. I figured you wouldn't have to resort to adding pointless steps, now I'm surprised you didn't include turning on your PC as one of the requirements. 3 isn't necessary because of the auto-login feature bringing you up to the handle. 4 you can just hit enter and it'll open/close the password input. I forgot about that little notice, I guess it's because I just keep hitting enter and usually am watching TV while I do that. I'm not saying that the process couldn't be cleaned up, but most people here seem to think of it as walking 5 miles compared to logging into other MMOs, which isn't true.
