Non-essential changes

The ludicrous barrier to entry in the form of the MSQ would be a good one to start with, and skip potions are no solution.

On the topic of a change they could make with the flick of a switch, unsynced runs should not award completion or drops.

While I agree with the part about MSQ and jump potions, I disagree about unsynced runs not awarding completion or drops.

I've yet to farm Extreme ARR/HW primals for mounts. I'm planning on doing these unsynced solo/duo.

Don't see, why after I've taken the time to get to max level and geared up, not to take advantage of that.

From the sprout who was once worried about taking on normal Ifrit, to the seasoned veteran who's slayed multiple primals, multiple times and has the level and gear to show for it. To me that gives me the sense that my character has grown stronger.

I can understand people doing synced runs for the challenge and they probably should add achievements and rewards for that.

What's your reasoning?

I half agree with what van_arn said...I think only the FIRST time should be synced. That way people have a basic understanding of it, since it is still fairly often that you get an extreme primal(typically only the ARR ones oddly enough) when queuing for Mentor Roulette. Drops definitely should not be locked behind synced runs only.

I'd be fine with unsynced dropping loot if and only if to get into it unsynced you had to clear it synced first.

That said, the primal mounts would mean a lot more if people had to actually do them at-level. As they are now, they're a waste of time to farm.

I can't agree with that Van_arn. They are worth the time to farm for the people who want it. SE made it that if you did it at Minimum IL you get a higher drop rate, but I'd rather run it over and over again easily with a lower drop rate on my own or with as few people as possible who may also want the drop. Now Achievements, I would see that as reasonable to make you clear it at level to get the achievement for clearing. But the way the achievement system is at the moment, I couldn't care less.

Back to the topic of this thread I like to see how my stats like critical hit effect my % in () next to the stat. Its not necessary but I feel it wouldn't hurt to have a little more information when min maxing my gear.

A macro command to change my chocobo companion's barding.

I would like a dyable "fluffy chocobo" kind of barding, where the barding would add extra feathers/fluff to them, so they look more like ff8/ff10/ff13 chocobos (FF14 chocobos look so bald in comparison).

change eye and skin color at barber.

Taking the cats as an example, the moon cats and the sun cats have different cultures, so why not give them caster, healer, range, melee, and tank armors that reflect their culture better. Would flesh out the lore somewhat while also giving us some sweet glamour. Of course I think this should be for all the races, just taking the cats since I play one.

The only issues I could see with Miqo'te specifically (and Aura as well with Xaela) is you have so many tribes with unique quirks and customs. Keepers are fairly unified since they are all from the Twelve's Woods, but Seeker's clans are literally scattered all over the planet.
