Now what SHOULD be increase is the number of actual glamor plates. Like lol we can only have 10 outfits across all of our jobs? I was hoping it'd be 10 PER job.

Not to pile on, but this post is just so full of wrong.

Firstly, since we can't take items out of the Dresser once we put them in, the 200 item slots is a real limitation, even for someone using it judiciously. Say you only Glamour a single job, but change looks every month. You'll be over halfway full after a year, and guess what? You can't free up space without deleting the item forever! Wonderful system.

Secondly, are you seriously advocating that we get 10 Plates PER job while stating that 200 slots is fine? You do realize that fully utilizing 10 Plates requires 12-13 items, correct? So... 10 plates per job... 120-130 items in the Dresser per job... yeah, I can't see anything going wrong with that at all, given the 200 item limit. Nope, no logical contradiction there.

These things have to be proportional. And they both need to be increased.

Ishgard aetherytes need to unlock access directly to adjacent zones.

With the Gold Saucer GATE NPCs moved, they need to add an attendant in the Entrance Hall to warp directly to the NPCs. The changes might look nice and organized, but it's a pain now that the NPCs aren't right next to the aetherytes.

So now you're admitting that you could bump threads that already exist and get them more potential attention just to make your own. Okay man

They'll unlock it when they unlock it. Not sure what's so hard to accept about that

Balmung isn't anywhere near close to 'dying'. Flooding an already bloated server with additional players will only serve to bring down the rest of the datacentre as a consequence of server instability. You know, like how it used to be in the weeks and months before it was finally sealed up tightly.

-Revert the expanded inventory back to 4.1 while giving it a toggle option so if people prefer this new way they can keep it.
-Turn most dyes basically into glamour prisms why do we need 40+ dyes we can have maybe 5-6.. (Not the rare ones)
-Msq Roulette should have an option if nobody is new all cutscenes are skippable.
-Streamline crafting actions please some actions such as makers mark and flawless are becoming unbearable..
-Allow people who put stuff in glamour dresser the ability to swap the dye.
-If we own a minion on the marketboard please give us a flag or something so we know we own it.
-Address the Healers crossrole system you tell us these are optional but then we have dungeons or alliance raids that require esuna and we can't swap because the tank rush pulls.
-Allow people to garden or use airships. Why do houses gate so much content??
-Not really Qol but please address how much utility classes are suppose to get vs pure dps only.
-If a alliance raid or trial or something requires esuna please remind players. Why do players have to remember every single debuff for every single enemy especially when 4 actions for Healers are mandatory.. (Dun Scathe and 04)

I laughed really hard when I read this, probably too hard.

Claims balmung is going to die, still has highest population across all worlds.....

Some people know that you can start writing and press tab and it'll list out choices to autocomplete
ex: Hell (tab)-> Hell's Lid = 4th choice
However this doesn't work for partial or phrase searching!
So using "Fractal" currently doesn't the "The Fractal Continuum" as a choice. A person using the auto-complete for auto-translate has to use:
The (tab)-> go down to choice 57.

(to the post below me, you did not understand what I said, pretty sure that is the active population, not total, if 23k is enough to make a server crowded, seems underwhelming server capacity say the least.)

Nope, Balmung is among the highest by both total pop and active pop. Being the unofficial, main RP server coupled with an active raid community, it was the first to get the doors locked. The issue is more that it's stagnating from the lack of new players entering.

But it's still a community issue from the amount of active players at any given time (23k is only too many when most of those are logged in at all times). It's still the liveliest server, and by way too much. Saying it's going to die is hyperbole.
