[FUN] Things you want to see in the patch notes...but probably won't: 2.5 Edition

-The "Favor" system has now been added into the game (I'm not the only one who remembers that april fools gag...right? Guys?).
- After processing massive amounts of data, complaints, and suggestions, we have finally gone ahead and changed Bard from a "DPS" class to a "Tank" class. Bard-only gear now provides significantly more Defense and Magic Defense for the rare occasions they can't kite a mob, and they've been given a new trait that doubles all threat generation to help prevent those silly Paladins and Warriors from stealing hate
- Blacklist size has been increase from 200 entries to 1,000 entries.
- Adding someone to your Blacklist removes all /tell messages they have sent you from your chat log.
- It is now possibly to right-click someone's name and select "Report Character". When doing so, you will be given a small list of options to designate what they are being reported for. Options include "Harassment", "Cheating", and "RMT".

And, for a special 2.51 "Things I want to see on the Patch Notes but probably won't" bonus...
- The following items will now be available through the Golden Saucer: Bohemian Set, Guardian Corps set, Blazefire Saber, Vega Knuckles, L'cie Bardiche, Bladed Lance, Star Seeker, Binding Rod, Mog's Staff, Grimoire Wing, Flame Fossil (new ROG Arms).

A 2nd focus target bar

- And all chocobos are now Elezen, Hyur, Lalafell, Miqo'te, or Roegadyn (depending on plumage color).

*Drags out an old dead horse...*

-Fishers will now have a tackle box to store all of their bait and lures. Fishers also will have a fish bucket that will store all fish caught, eliminating the need to have lures and fish stored in the main inventory tabs.

But then we'd never be able to beat him!

My wishlist:
- Tired of seeing bards with all the fun hats? We stealth added RDMs with bigger and better hats!
- All Lalafells in PvP now have a permanent flag overhead to allow normal sized races to see them.
- Any mount can now act as a companion in battle, not just chocobos.
- Unique music for each mount, not just chocobos.
