Awesome changes made that weren't there when you started playing?

Everyone used TP for sprint back then. Sprint was reworked somewhere around Stormblood release to no longer require TP.

You used to earn points every couple of levels which you could assign to attributes of your choice. The bonus column showed the amount assigned to each attribute. That was removed around Stormblood release too.

I wish they'd also sort the emotes alphabetically. It always takes me a long time to find random emotes for quests when I'm playing on a controller (on the keyboard I can just type the name).

B ranks respawning after a few seconds (for those that don't know when hunts were released in 2.3 B ranks gave tomestones and seals outside the weekly hunt, they also had a 1hr respawn timer, this combined with A ranks meant hunts were better than anything else for tomestones and upgrade mats, this single handedly almost destroyed the duty finder as so very few people were queuing for content as it required both more work and gave less reward to time investment) then the subsequent notification of a general direction where it is

Ditto to housing exteriors and that auto collect thing for gathering. I really appreciate the former. If I knew about the latter, I wouldn't have spent the 2 mil to change housing locations.

The change that made it a single glamour prism. When I started playing mid-Heavensward each DoH had a prism that could make and rated from 1-5(?) and took a lot of space to keep them handy, then it was slimmed to remove the rank and then it became just a single prism.

Whatever they did in late Heavensward to stop gil sellers from spamming everyone with tells. It used to be that you got at least one every 5 seconds.

The alert message when you're close to your hunt mark is very nice.

Yeah. Before this update, I was ready to give up on Heavensward B ranks. I am not sure what it is. I think it's the fact the maps are massive, have more disparity in altitude compared to Stormblood, and generally the potential spawns are further apart. Stormblood maps for example are often cut in half, and the B ranks have more defined area they can be in that makes sense. It can still take a while to find B ranks now, but at least I can be flying alt-tabbed with the chat log visible to see if anything turns up.
