why do you keep calling me by that name anyway? I tuned it out till now. And dude really it adds up. If this was super importent and data used so small, why don't every game do that? I don't know any game that allows said ooptions. If i did I would prob agree with you. But point being if it was so lil and helpful it woulda been put in before launch. And honestly, why complain now? the game is 6 mnths old. You should brought it up way before now if it bugged you that much. Sorry kinda see this as complaining for sake of complaining.

And honestly this would do more harm then good, more so to newbies.

Infact they don't.

I dread to think of what the current ls icon "sea" would look like with the player-base that SE is meant to be aiming for.

My suggestion.. give us back the circle ls's from XI.. again, it is one of those simple things that just 'worked' :/

A server eventually gets to know itself, who's who does not need noting by the random twirley pattern above your head

different theme pearls fot the theme of the first game, crests fit the theme for this game.

I call you that because this person here (http://www.ffxivcore.com/user/7158-kitkun/) and yourself are obviously one and the same. A girl who cant spell and types on a PS3 and has ADHD. Coincidence, I think not.

I see your reputation precedes you.

Anyways, I play FFXIV mainly for the graphics. God knows there's little else to entice me to play. So, I hope you can appreciate my not wanting to look at a whole lot of crap on my screen, impinging on my ability to enjoy the game. And if you think newbies want to look at a lot of crap too, then by all means, continue to make blanket assumptions about players you've never met and a game you've never so much as played.

which if given the chance will fill up with addons amirite? fyi its ADD not adhd there are 2 difference types. Also i'm typing out of concern of the game being to big to fit on my ps3. So ya I gotta right to make a case for that. And also its pretty lame to judge a person, or assume you know them.

gifthorse, thanks for making the topic. +1 like!

Kilta, even if there were a toggle for every piece of UI would a new player even want to change anything? Why would they if they haven't even learned how to use the default UI? It's called customization for a reason. To accomodate to ones individual preferences.

They have a dedicated UI team that most likely works on UI and not on content.

The size of the update? We have broadband. If Square can't deliver patches because of bandwidth we have a problem. I.e., Blizzard asked me to download 6Gb data to play their latest WoW expansion (no DVD required).

What does being the person having "to type every / command just because you want to" mean? A slap on the hand for asking for customization?

We also need a way to /names off but somehow still see repair icons. I like playing with /names off but as a crafter you want to see those repair icons, so it ruins the whole experience.

Maybe they could add the name and icon to the hp bar kind of like how they added level next to the mobs when you select them.

But your ADD is in High Def!

Honestly though, you look like you're trolling here but if you aren't please reassure everyone here and be a little less "in your face" with your posts and you'll be OK, but In every topic I've seen you post in you've caused the most negativity and ironically you're advocating against it (and maybe I don't know irony but I'm gonna pretend I do).

Stop derailing this thread into a discussion about your life story. I'm sorry I even brought it up. OMG.

I just don't want to look at my own name and the glaring eyesores that are our linkshell icons. Just get this crap outta my face, ok.

This is the reason I have little faith in this community. A bunch of people who hate the game, suggesting changes that will do little to nothing to actually improve the game, and flaming other users. No wonder Yoshi-P doesn't listen to us and we don't hear from him often enough. Hell, even JPN players are disgusted with most of you.

Don't like it, toggle it all off. Stop being selfish. Not everything can be catered to your desires

Are you kidding? I'm the reason you have no faith in the community? I'm practically the only one around here making any sense (fashion sense, that is).

Linkshell icons are repulsive. I don't want to look at them. Don't make me look at them!
