Small QoL Improvements

I have a bit of an issue with the little targeting indicator on the map, the one that needs to be placed over an icon or fate marker to get the tooltip of what's there, or to use the map to teleport by selecting the aetherite. That targeting indicator is made of extremely thin white lines on a pale yellow background, and I for one find it really hard to see, which makes it hard to place over the icon I'm trying to select. Could that targeting indicator please be changed to be more clearly visible. Perhaps making it black rather than white would be a good version.

Can we add the clear glamour prisms to the junkmonger npc inside our house please?

This has probably already been said, but could we please have the option to choose which icons show up on the map (aether crystals, levequest npcs, etc). It's annoying when for example the levemete icons crowd over the aetheryte & fate icons making it hard to see if a fate is up or teleporting quickly without zooming in constantly.

Don't know if this has been mentioned before but split the auto run option into Auto Run and Auto Fly.

Auto fly is useful however I always have mishaps with auto run in dungeons etc.

I don't know if this has been said before but maybe adding another setting to controller targeting. I feel like when you press X (or A if you're using a Xbox controller) that it should target the object in the middle of the screen. Think of it like how a lot of third-person shooters have a null crosshair when you don't have a weapon out. Some games even depict it as an unobtrusive dot in the middle of the screen so you can essentially move the camera around and still target things fairly accurately. I just think the targeting needs to be reworked because there are times where I would be facing a target that I intend to select and have the the game target something else entirely. You can probably get the game to move the mouse cursor to the middle of the screen and hide it the moment you move the camera.

I'd settle for the targeting just going Nearest to Farthest rather than Left to Right relative to camera position. That's horribly obnoxious.

I'd vote no on this one, because right now, that's the only way we have to target the nearest mob in front of us, which is rather important for melee characters.

The only improvement I'd like to see in that part is in the precedence of different object types. Right now, NPCs have priority over everything else, then mobs, then items, then players. The only part they got right about that is players. (Their being last ensures we can target quest givers, summoning bells, etc. even when there's a crowd surrounding it.)

The place NPCs and mobs tend to appear together is in FATEs, where melee characters are going to be focused on fighting the mobs, and it's annoying having the selection always favor any NPC in the area over the mob right in front of us. And gathering nodes are only visible/selectable when on a gathering class, yet the system will target even mobs behind us in favor of the node we're facing. That's annoying, as whenever we're able to even see a gathering node, then we're not interested in targeting mobs. The order should be:
items (or at least gathering nodes) -> mobs -> NPCs -> players

Speaking of the Raid Finder, it's a shame that it seems like almost no one uses it (at least on Hyperion) I've queued in it before quite a few times, and not once did it actually pop for me.

Right click → 'Copy item name' is really useful (works in Crafting and Gathering windows).

It would be even more useful to have a matching right-click 'Paste' functionality for Search bars (Market Board, Crafting Log, etc).

Having only 'Copy' without 'Paste' feels like half of an idea. 'Ctrl+V' works (on PC), but it's more awkward than Right click → Copy → Right click → Paste, especially when I have one hand occupied (tabbing between windows, holding my phone/calculator, etc).

Add an icon or indicator or highlight to whatever Roulettes have 'Adventurer in Need' active for your current role, so players don't have to click on every single Roulette one-by-one to see if any of them currently have Adventurer in Need active for a non-Tank role.
