Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

Thankfully, they already implemented this for 2.1 :)

Tip: you should try to use the dev tracker to see all the comments already made in this thread before you post. I know this thread is crazy long now, but if you select search thread -> advanced search, and click "Dev Tracker", it will list the official (currently 24!) responses to this thread.

1) Not knowing if items in your chest are no longer of use or still part of a gear set. .
2) Not just one extra click, but 6 or 7 to repair all your gear because there isn't a "Repair All" and you have to select the slot
3) No auto dismount when you try to go into a city or speak to an NPC
4) Inn room armoire not working. Only takes red, blue, and green swimwear but not striped. Takes pumpkin head but not ghost costume.
5) RMT shout bots... they say it's being worked but it should be as simple as a GM going into town and creating his own blacklist.
6) More icons for macros. Heck, not even all the icons for all the skills are included as options.
I can add more, but I think you get the idea.

I highly doubt changing the look of an icon (to an icon that's already in-game, mind you, so they won't even have to waste 30 minutes drawing it again) will take up much development time at all. It may not be as important to you as the issues you listed above, but it must be to some people, otherwise they wouldn't be adding it.

Id prefer more buttons per hotbar, like maybe R2 + R1 or L1 and L2 + L1 or R1. Maybe even R2 + Right and Left Stick and L2 + Right and Left Stick

Know what would be a great quality of life change? You not using DF to join Praetorium and AFK at the entrance for 100 tomes without actually doing anything. That was really cool of you, dude.

I think changing the way the wards effect shard gathering would be a step in the right direction.
As it stands a level 20 can gather shards as fast as a level 50 can. Making the ward of the twelve I & II traits increase the amount of shards you can gather using wards by one or two each would help a lot to push the bots out of the market while creating a steady source of income for specialized gatherers that doesn't require 187219834479 hours of your life.

That and increasing the GP recovery rate significantly while walking around would be nifty. I like a smoke break as much as the next lumberjack, but jeez...

people are limited to join 8 LS, however, when you leave a ls due to much spam or simply not wanting to be in a ls anymore, you are left with spots between ls lists and you have /l1, /l2, /l4, /l7 as chat channels. allow people to reorganize their ls channels at will, because blank spots are really aggravating.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but what about an indicator that tells you whether or not you already have dungeon loot that drops so I know whether to pass or lot? I know it already tells you if you have one on your person but what about if you have one on your retainer or in your inn chest? I hate lotting and winning something only to realize that I already have one when I go to store it. GC provisionary missions don't always except this loot. I have literally everything that AK drops save for a few things, which I can never remember which ones.

I don't know if these have already been suggested.

- Larger group member icons on map
- an option to be able to turn of non party members from display
- ability to ad summoner/scholar pet skills to macro
- Easier more defined controls for the arn/smn/sch pets such as stay/attack and come back.

i had a huge list but i cant remember any more...

Please make a new Disciples of the hand class that disassembles gear back into the crafting ingredients.

Please have a temporary or permanent dungeon lock in preventing players from leaving at the beginning and have them receive gear damage if they still don't participate in the dungeon.

Increase item drop rate % from most monsters not including the one called Ornery Karakul.

Instant casts aren't instant. Have them cast as soon as you press the button, interrupting the currently-casting animation.

This is particularly heinous with instant-casts like 'Spirits Within' which can take anywhere from 0.1 - 1.3 seconds to actually fire depending on the animation you're in the middle of - which leaves very little margin of error on interrupting a few raid-wiping 1.5-second casts.
