List of Antiquated/Awkward Game Mechanics

The inventory and it's lack of controls for sorting options.

Raze... you can price check from the retainer. Right click the item to sell and then check the top right of the new box for a small button. That will show you recent transactions involving that item.

And that's your opinion. What I am telling you is that they have limited resources, and when there are bigger, game-breaking issues: like instance server stability, infrastructure that just can't meet the demand, etc... they are devoting their resources there.

At this point and time, the fact you need to dismount to talk to an NPC means absolutely jack squat to the devs.

If that makes the game 'much less enjoyable' for you, so be it. They have bigger fish to fry. Therefore, no, these should not be 'fixed ASAP'. Stop pretending like you understand what is actually going on in a dev shop. The proof is in your ending statement - 'A lot of them could not possibly take them long anyways.'

Iterative software development goes through so many stages, you have no idea how long it can take to perform what you consider a 'simple change'.

I was hoping I was just missing something, thanks.

There are multiple teams for a reason. Not everyone is working on server issues. Half the people working on the game wouldn't even know how to deal with that.

Stop trying to sound smart, the more you talk the less you seem to know about a gaming company as large as SE.

You can drag&drop the skill from companion menu to your hotbar.

But it's still awful and I shouldn't have to do it. Ideally the retainer and AH should be integrated into one, but at the very least let me price check from the retainer.

Already ingame.

It don't tell you the exact zone name of the teleport location, but in which region they are. Choose the cheapest one in the region you want to teleport and use the chocoporter for the rest of the way.

There's actually a bug relating to the 2nd part which I've already reported.

For me personally, I think minions and pets need names swapped. Anytime I see minion, I think of something that does something. For mmos, when I think of pets, I think of something that follows you around and (usually) does nothing.

If mounts were allowed for communications with NPC's it would lead to even more frustration trying to get around Magiteks or Goobbues (or similar large mounts). A separate way to target the NPC could be nice (if it isn't already implemented, I haven't really checked)

Auto dismount. We don't HAVE to stay on mount to chat w/ nps, its more of manually dismount before you can do anything that irritates people. I would like to be auto dismount when I use a skill to attack an enemy, an option for me to dismount when teleporting instead of auto decline.

"Target Nearest NPC or Object" is F12 by default. You can change this under Keybinds in your option menu.

Forgot to add: You can also make this a macro with a simple /targetnpc
