Actually, can you make this never ever happen ever, or any pay-to-win model ever to ruin this magnificent game?

this topic:

Dark Matter, does these still matter anymore?

Can the Miner's guild have the 'flower ladies' back... the poor miners are so sad without them... ; ;

In update 2.3 will fishing be changing at all? It was said before that it was intended as a relaxing hobby, and so it is, but will there be any advancements or rewards for those who have taken it to heart?

When PvP battlegrounds being released, did you plan to introduce some kind of elo-system for Ranks? The actual system is being exploited by premade groups who trade victories between them and surely it is something to be addressed.

I really miss the msg: "xxx examines you." and "xxx defeated yyy with zzz." at the end of a battle from xi^^ will they ever return?

2 questions: will Truth of Forest/Mountains be made useable on mounts? And will you add in an option to report rmt after you blacklist someone?

Are there any plans , to make the game open world? (mostly talking about invisible walls).

Can we have a Cheese Sandwich food in the game?

Commendations

Would it be possible to let us give commendations to those outside of our party, when entering the DF with a partially formed party?

There are so many amazing players you meet, and I would love to be able to give them something a little more tangible than my words as thank you =)

-Removal of Egis from being summon.
-Landslides reduce to 3 instead of 5.
-Enlarge availability of area for players to utilize.

I dont seriously see any difficulty in this boss. However, the server itself had rather bad latency at certain time and this causes players dying to landslides and land of weight. Players are dying too much to such issues that isnt what we see as difficulty but something that's flawed with the server's latency issue.
Does SE expects players to have some sort of super connection that had no latency issue to play?
Do we need to migrate to japan or next to yoshida's house to play ff14 to guarantee tapping into other contents with no issue ?
How can you play a game that had mechanics titled towards latency over others ?

Regarding housing: Will we be able to place our retainers(in poses(sitting, /changepose, etc) preferably) in our house?

Also, will they be able to tag along with us in the future? Like companions?

Would we ever see a type of "Battle" that can be prompted when a Powerful Fish appears when Fishing?

Like when something rare hooks onto your Rod, Battle Music plays and the Player can use Skills based on fishing techniques to try reel in the beast; Skills such as FF's 'LIBRA' to analyse the unknown fish's Class (possibly based on the Scale Type or Weight, etc.), "Pull" and "Hold" to calm and steadily pull in the Fish depending on its actions, and "Net" (Netting) and "Pierce" (Spearfishing) as alternative ways to attempt to capture the fish: costing GP to execute.

Using incorrect capturing skills against the mystery fish's Type would be "ineffective", and numerous bad moves would empty the GP gauge; causing the fish to escape.
LIBRA could display the Fish's Class to the player, hinting what kind of skill to use to capture, e.g. Netting it (a +20% capture attack) rather than Piercing (being -5%), etc.

I would like to know when Fantasia will be implemented and when Chocobo stat reallocation will be possible?

Can we have more Monsters and NPCs that are affected by the world around us?

The same way Foes "escape" when a FATE ends, could we have Beasts and NPCs that preform different actions dependent of varying situations? That way we get to see more of the lesser characters react to the changing world; as well as chances for rarer monsters to appear under certain conditions.
E.G.;

• Certain Thanalan Desert beasts burrow underground when Night falls, and a different set of Monsters appear in their place until sunrise.
• During hotter days at La Noscea, Tiny Mandragoras may travel in groups. If you Wave at one in the group it may Emote the player in return.
• Certain Black Shroud beasts sleep in the nearby cave-like pathways upon stormy weather, whilst others may become slightly debuffed due to the fear of Odin lurking around.
• If a blizzard is passing through Coerthas and Behemoth falls, some Snow Wolf Pups may occasionally howl, etc.

My question pertains to the glamour system, specifically for the Disciples of Magic, it if there will ever cross class glamour between magic users, as we have a limited selection of gear? Specifically my question is such:

Will the restriction on glamouring the Chasmere robes(dyable battlemage and acolyte varients) be lifted to allow all DoM to glamour them? I find in strange all can wear the base item but only healers can use the dyable acolyte and only dps can use the dyable battlemage.

Is there plans to add a calendar system or some type of event planner to the Free Company so that we can plan and organize events either in game or within the Lodestone? Being able to see upcoming events planned by a Free Company would be super useful for players without easy access to a PC where they're playing or haven't visited a particular Free Company's website that regularly.

I was reminded that there was a Cait Sith battle in XI - any chances that we will be able to battle Cait Sith as a Primal ?
Tribe of Cait Sith's living in Ishgard, living in a village made out of igloo's?

Will you please allow people to zoom out further than we can now?
I have a problem on leviathan and cant see well enough as to where he will pop out of in time and I get hit.

My Black list keeps getting full from spammers, is there any chance you can add a select multiple names from the window and delete those all at once?
I really hate having to click each one to get rid of all the (deleted)

I have all the pieces for the Dragoon Artifact Gear 1 & 2, Will you allow dying them in the near future?
I would love to have my Dragoon armor be a blood red color.

Regarding the list of levequests available after each time you collect your reward.
Having this list randomize after each time you collect your reward is getting really annoying when trying to do levequests together with friends. We're lucky if everyone in our party has the same levequest available at the same time.
Will there be made a change to this, preferably showing all levequests the specific npc has to offer at all times, letting us choose freely from the full list which levequests we want to sign up for, together?

Are there any plans to allow us to transfer Hermes' Shoes from our FFXI tied legacy characters to other characters on our account?

When will we see the 3 new city-states with garlean empire the king and fenrir? Will there be some kind of dungeon type link to The Keeper of Lake the wyvern and old garlean battle ship sits in mor dhona lake and a story to it?

Can we get more hair color options and such? There is no bright red color for any race except Lalafell.

This is the XIVth live letter for FFXIV. Are you planning to share anything special to commemorate such an anniversary?

Will the people that didn't get a chance at snow and lightings hairstyle have a chance at getting it in the future or are we just kicking rocks

With the vast majority of players wanting to do raids and raids and more raids, will there be enough content for the everyday player who doesn't have the need to grind for raid level gear?

can we expect to see chocobo's go in to a pet slot? this way we can que for DF or join party's without the need of dismissing and re-summoning our chocobo's?

will instances like class quests or GC leve quests improve to where we can complete as a duo instead of consistently disbanning and re joining parties?

I'm just wondering if your planning on implementing combi-action emotes? For Example; being able to fish while your in a sitting position or on your mount etc.

Yes, I miss Pking..... Sorry, just my style from the Phantasy Star Online days and .Hack..... >=)

I sincerely can not express how deeply I would like to be able to participate in content as one of the core Classes that the Jobs stem from. Are there any plans to make Classes relevant to the game again?

Personal Housing

Why is this not a topic?

This restriction is making it very difficult to both make progress in the game and play with my friends and family :(

Its only part 1 of 2. You should know by now, that when they split live letters they keep the unrelated topics of one segregated to the other.

When is addon support happening?

will you add feature to customize inn room?

Any plans on having another lv 70 gears for crafters? The body gear perhaps or offtools.

Currently what we have in-game is a giant lobby rather than a vast world to explore, will you ever be adding larger zones to remedy this ?

As this item and the rest of the Behemoth drops were created to pay homage to its original drop in FFXI, can you please rename the English Text for "Ring of Lasting Shelter" to "Defending Ring", as it is the original name of the item its actually paying homage to?

As seen at the end of the FF14 Trailer (TGS 2010), the characters mention giving the Bard something to sing about.

Would we ever obtain an ability to allow Bards to freely play their Harp?

If it was done as a Skill, it could be unlocked through a set of Quests (like the Item Dye or Materia skills), becoming accessible after obtaining the Bard Job, allowing the Player to play notes with their Weapon/String instrument real-time via a single button press; similar to playing the Ocarina in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Alternatively, an obtainable set of Emotes for Bards to use to play a Single note, such as "/note_c#" for a C Sharp Animation and Sound, allowing the player to use Macros to chain notes together.
